Role Overview

- College degree or higher
- Demonstrated strong visual and aesthetic design skills
- Professional experience using Microsoft Excel
- Ability to commit a minimum of 15 hours per week

This role prioritizes candidates with a core visual design background. Product/UX-focused professionals are welcome to apply if they can demonstrate exceptional spreadsheet-specific visual design capability.

- Strong sense of visual hierarchy and layout structure
- Ability to make spreadsheets feel premium and polished
- Experience designing business-facing tools and templates
- Detail-oriented with a strong aesthetic eye
- Comfortable working independently in a remote environment
