Email Design Hires
Real Agencies. Real Designers. Real Results.
45 hours
A month back from email design
Real Way Marketing
John was spending about 45 minutes on every email for every client. He hired Yulia, a Klaviyo Email Designer from Ukraine, who designs in Figma to each client’s existing brand look.
$150K
Saved per year across up to 5 hires
Creatively Disruptive
Creatively Disruptive used to hire about 90% of its team in the US. HireUA filled its first 3 seats, including a Facebook Ads Manager, in about a week, then kept filling seats across ads, social, email and design.
50%+
Saved on the Account Manager vs. a US hire
ZHS Ecom
Zach made his first two hires through HireUA: an Account Manager and a Graphic Designer, taking fulfillment off his plate.
The Problem
“Make It Look Nice” Isn’t the Job.
Most email design hires fail on the details, not the taste. Real Way Marketing’s John put it plainly: the designs were fine, but there were typos and wrong links, and he was always looking for the next mistake. Hire for accuracy and brand fidelity first.
01
Brand Fidelity
Every client already has a look. The designer has to match it, not reinvent it, and make the same calls you would.
02
Zero-Mistake Sends
Right links, right prices, no typos, dark mode checked. One broken send can undo a month of good work.
03
Speed at Volume
Launches, promos and flows land in the same week. The work has to keep moving without you reviewing every pixel.
The Role
What a Strong Email Designer Owns
Here’s the work a good Email Designer takes off your desk.
01
Campaign Design
Promotions, launches and newsletters designed in Figma and built for the platform you send from.
02
Flow Templates
Welcome, abandoned-cart and post-purchase templates that stay on-brand across every step.
03
Modular Systems
Reusable blocks and brand kits per client, so new campaigns never start from a blank file.
04
QA Before Send
Link checks, image weights, alt text and mobile rendering checked before anything reaches the list.
05
Graphics & GIFs
Product shots, banners and simple animations that support the offer rather than bury it.
06
Works With Copy
Takes a brief from the copywriter or strategist and turns it into a send-ready layout.

How We Screen
Accuracy Over Pretty Mockups.
A portfolio shows taste. A trial shows whether they’ll send a broken link.
01
Define the Seat
Email Designer, Figma to Klaviyo, eCommerce clients, existing brand guides. Specific posts attract the right people.
02
Match a Brand
Give them a real client’s brand guide and one campaign brief. Do they match it, or redesign it?
03
Check the Details
Plant a wrong link and a typo in the brief. The right designer flags them.
04
Time the Work
Ask how long it took. Agencies live on turnaround, not just quality.

Questions
Email Designer Hiring FAQs
How much does it cost to hire an Email Designer?
Email and Graphic Designers typically earn $2,000–$3,000 a month full-time. That’s what the person earns, not HireUA’s fee.
What’s the difference between an Email Designer and a Klaviyo Specialist?
An Email Designer owns how the email looks: layouts, brand fidelity and send-ready files. A Klaviyo Specialist owns how the program performs: flows, segments, testing and reporting. Many agencies hire the designer first.
Do they design in Figma or directly in Klaviyo?
Either, depending on your workflow. Real Way Marketing’s designer works in Figma, and the designs are then built in Klaviyo for each client’s campaigns.
Can one designer handle several client brands?
Yes, if you hire for it. Test with a real brand guide during screening and check how well they match an existing look rather than create a new one.
Can I start part-time?
Yes. HireUA recruits for part-time and full-time positions. Part-time costs more per hour than full-time, and many clients start part-time and scale up.
Email Designer or Email Marketing Specialist?
An Email Designer designs the emails. An Email Marketing Specialist owns the strategy, calendar, segmentation and results. Many agencies hire both.
How quickly can I interview candidates?
Qualified candidates are presented within 5 days of kickoff. Total time to hire depends on how quickly you interview and decide.
How does HireUA charge?
Monthly Hire includes HireUA administering and paying the hire. Direct Hire costs 15% of annual salary, subject to a $3,000 minimum, and you employ the person directly.
Where can I learn more about hiring for email?
