Email Designer


Type: Retainer, Long-Term · Location: Remote · Industry: eCommerce / DTC Agency

The Role

  • Mail Waves is one of the fastest-growing email marketing agencies in Europe. We manage Klaviyo end-to-end for leading eCommerce brands — from $5M operations to 8-figure DTC powerhouses generating millions per month.

  • We're looking for a high-output email designer who can adapt fast and execute under real production pressure.

  • You won't be designing one-off projects. You'll be owning visual execution across multiple top-tier brand identities — flows, campaigns, and every touchpoint in between.

  • This is a retainer role for someone who thrives in agency pace, ships clean work fast, and wants consistent volume inside a team that actually cares about quality.

What You’ll Own

Campaign & Flow Execution

  • Design 50–70 email campaigns and flows per week across multiple client brands

  • Adapt to different brand identities quickly — new client today, first email tomorrow

  • Work in Figma, export Klaviyo-ready files

  • Collaborate with copywriters and Klaviyo managers on briefs and feedback

  • Maintain quality under volume — no dropping standards when it gets busy


What “Good” Looks Like in 90 Days

  • You're hitting output targets without quality slipping

  • You understand how emails render in Klaviyo, not just how they look in Figma

  • Revisions are minimal because you read the brief properly the first time

  • The team doesn't chase you — you flag issues before they become problems

Must-Have Requirements

You must have:

  • 1+ years of email design with a portfolio of eCommerce examples

  • Klaviyo experience — you know how emails actually render, not just design theory

  • Agency or multi-client background

  • Fast, responsive, async-friendly work style

  • Figma proficiency


Nice to Have

  • Experience with brands doing $3M–$10M+/year

  • Basic HTML/CSS for email troubleshooting

  • Familiarity with mobile-first email design

Who This Role Is NOT For

This is not for:

  • Designers who need detailed creative direction every time

  • People who treat volume as an excuse for lower quality

  • Anyone uncomfortable with tight turnarounds and direct feedback

What You Get

  • Your work goes live inside 7–8 figure brands with real audiences — not spec projects, not small shops

  • Consistent, high-volume retainer inside Europe's fastest-growing email agency

  • Long-term role with real operational structure and a team that executes at a high level

  • 60-day scope review with rate adjustment based on performance

  • Monthly compensation: $1,500–2,800 (based on experience and output)
