(Remote) Email Designer (EST/CST)

Hawke was founded on the idea that every modern business needs a CMO-level expert to lead digital marketing efforts. We customize data-driven, performance-focused solutions to help launch, scale, and invigorate businesses of all sizes, industries, and revenue models. We’ve been featured in Forbes, Entrepreneur, Inc., Business Insider, and CNN, and boast clients such as Red Bull, Verizon, Crocs, Casamigos, K-Swiss (and many more). Full-Time | Fast-Paced | High-Impact Creative Role You don’t just design emails—you build moments in the inbox. We’re looking for an Email Graphic Designer who thrives in a high-volume, performance-driven environment and takes real pride in their craft. This role is for someone who can move fast without sacrificing quality, who understands that every pixel has a purpose, and who’s confident enough to take minimal direction and turn it into on-brand, scroll-stopping creative. If you’re resourceful, detail-obsessed, and energized by momentum, keep reading. The Role As our Email Graphic Designer, you’ll create compelling, conversion-focused email campaigns for a range of brands. You’ll be responsible for producing at least 8 email designs per day, including iterations and edits. Speed and stamina matter just as much as creativity. You’ll often work with limited brand guidelines, which means you must be comfortable building visual systems, defining hierarchy, and crafting dimensional designs that feel polished and purposeful from scratch. This is a highly autonomous role. We trust our designers to own their work, manage their time, and deliver review-ready assets without hand-holding. You’ll also communicate directly with clients, so professionalism and clarity are essential. Occasional weekend availability is required for rare emergency edits, but this isn’t the norm. When it happens, we show up for our clients. Why This Role Is Exciting Email is one of the most powerful marketing channels, and you’ll be at the center of it. Your work won’t sit in a portfolio unseen; it will land directly in thousands (sometimes millions) of inboxes. This is a place where output matters, ideas move fast, and strong designers stand out. If you love the rhythm of high-volume design, enjoy autonomy, and take pride in clean, strategic creativity, we’d love to see what you can do. Ready to design emails that convert?
