Visual Design Expert (Excel)

Mercor is recruiting Expert Visual designers to create high-quality, professional Excel templates for business settings.

This project involves using your professional design experience to create high-quality, visually polished, and “sellable” spreadsheet templates for business users. These are not UX or product design tasks — the focus is strictly on strong visual and aesthetic spreadsheet design.

We're specifically seeking individuals with strong experience creating polished, thoughtfully designed spreadsheet templates for budgeting, calendars, tracking systems, and other productivity use cases.

Selected experts will design planners, dashboards, trackers, budgets, invoices, project management sheets, and similar professional-grade templates intended for real-world business / productivity use.

Applicants must:

• Have 3–5+ years of full-time professional experience

• Hold a college degree or higher

• Demonstrate strong visual/aesthetic design skills (not content writing, UX, or product design)

• Have experience using Microsoft Excel in professional environments

• Be able to commit a minimum of 15 hours per week

• Have access to a desktop or laptop computer (Chromebooks are not supported)

Preference will be given to candidates with a core design background, rather than primarily product/UX-focused profiles, unless they can clearly demonstrate exceptional visual spreadsheet design capability.

We consider all qualified applicants without regard to legally protected characteristics and provide reasonable accommodations upon request.
