Senior Product / UI-UX Designer

Role Overview

We partner with venture-backed scaleups that expect agency teams to operate like an extension of their in-house product and marketing organizations. We’re seeking a highly detail-oriented, digitally focused Senior Product / UI-UX Designer with strong systems thinking and exceptional communication skills to lead complex web and product design initiatives and drive client success through thoughtful design leadership.

You will join on a long-term contract (10–30 hours per week) with schedule flexibility, as long as you are available for overlapping US business hours.

Responsibilities

• Translate stakeholder goals and product strategy into scalable, user-centered design systems that balance speed, quality, and brand integrity.
• Lead end-to-end design execution across marketing sites, design systems, dashboards, and product experiences.
• Create wireframes, prototypes, user flows, and high-fidelity UI using modern design tools and workflows.
• Provide creative direction, scoping, estimation, and design documentation that enables downstream teams to deliver efficiently.
• Participate in client workshops, discovery sessions, and design reviews as the design subject-matter expert.
• Confidently communicate design rationale and articulate the “why” behind your decisions.
• Coach mid-level designers through critique, pairing, and lightweight process improvements.
• Champion accessibility, usability, performance-aware design, and consistency across every deliverable.

Requirements

• 6+ years of professional experience in product design, UI-UX, or digital design with a strong web focus.
• Expert-level proficiency in Figma, component libraries, responsive UI, and modern prototyping workflows.
• Strong collaboration experience with engineering, PM, and marketing teams.
• Track record of shipping production-ready designs informed by research and usability insight.
• Comfortable owning client communication, presenting creative rationale, and responding to feedback constructively.
• Ability to manage multiple initiatives simultaneously with exceptional attention to detail.
• Coach-like mindset — able to mentor peers and advocate for best practices without heavy process.
• Required: Applicants must include a public or shareable Figma design URL showcasing a project they personally led or completed (case study preferred).

Benefits & Perks

• Flexible contract engagement with competitive hourly rates.
• Influence design standards, tooling decisions, and creative direction across the agency.
• Access to internal learning resources, certifications, and conference stipends.
• Work closely with founders and directors on marquee client accounts.

What Success Looks Like

• Clients view you as a trusted design partner who translates business goals into meaningful user experiences.
• Project teams feel more confident because you clarify ambiguity early and unblock decisions quickly.
• Design systems you touch are documented, reusable, and scalable for future contributors.

Collaboration & Process

• Work within cross-functional squads alongside strategists, engineers, and project managers.
• Use ClickUp, Linear, and GitHub Projects to keep delivery aligned and transparent.
• Operate with async-first communication (Slack, Loom, Notion) plus weekly live client touchpoints.

Interview Flow

• Recruiter introduction focused on mutual fit and availability.
• Portfolio & Figma walkthrough of submitted project.
• Collaborative design critique or problem-solving workshop.
• Final culture-add conversation with a member of leadership.
