Remote Design Expert - AI Trainer ($80-$150 per hour)

Role Overview Mercor is partnering with a leading AI research organization to engage experienced designers for a project focused on evaluating how well AI systems perform real-world design work. The role involves defining what excellent work looks like: designing task‑specific grading criteria and scoring completed work samples with rigorous, well‑reasoned written justifications. Key Responsibilities Design precise, task‑specific grading criteria for real‑world design deliverables (brand identity systems and guidelines, campaign and marketing visuals, presentation and layout design, packaging concepts, digital and social assets). Score AI‑generated and human work samples against those criteria, with detailed written justifications for every score. Apply consistent, evidence‑based judgment so that scores are reproducible and defensible. Incorporate structured feedback from senior reviewers and iterate quickly on your work. Ideal Qualifications 5+ years of professional experience in graphic, brand, or visual design. Background at world class design studios or creative agencies, or in senior design roles at leading consumer or technology brands. Deep fluency in the day‑to‑day craft: typography, layout and visual hierarchy, color, composition, brand systems, and articulating critique the way a design lead would in a review. Exceptionally strong written communication, with the ability to explain exactly why a piece of work does or does not meet the bar. Detail‑oriented, consistent, and comfortable having your judgment reviewed and calibrated against peers. Prior experience with AI training, evaluation, or human‑data projects is a strong plus. Application Process Submit your resume, portfolio, or relevant professional background to get started. Qualified applicants may be asked to complete a brief assessment or submit additional information. #J-18808-Ljbffr Mercor
