Design Director | Remote

About the role

Evaluate the quality of real-world design work by developing task-specific grading criteria and scoring completed samples with rigorous, written justifications, serving as a calibrated expert reviewer rather than a producer. Hourly contract, remote work.

Responsibilities

• Design precise, task-specific grading rubrics for deliverables spanning brand identity, campaign visuals, layout, packaging, and digital assets.
• Score work samples against established criteria with detailed, evidence‑based written justifications for every rating.
• Apply consistent evaluative judgment to ensure scores are reproducible and defensible across reviewers.
• Incorporate structured feedback from senior reviewers and iterate rapidly on criteria and scoring approaches.
• Maintain clear documentation of reasoning to support calibration and peer‑review processes.

Requirements

• Demonstrated professional expertise in graphic, brand, or visual design.
• Deep craft knowledge across typography, layout, visual hierarchy, color, composition, and brand systems.
• Ability to articulate design critique clearly and precisely in writing, at the level of a design lead.
• Proven track record of consistent, detail‑oriented judgment in a professional design context.
