We are looking for a classic web designer – someone who covers the complete spectrum from UI/UX design in tools like Sketch or Figma to realizing that in HTML/CSS. While some familiarity with JavaScript and tooling such as git and static site builders like 11ty can't hurt, this is not a frontend engineering position. While your focus will be web design, ideally you don't shy away from the occasional visual design task like marketing materials for events we organize (or you can oversee external providers doing those for us). You should have prior experience designing and building web sites that you can share with us.
 

 



 

 We are looking for a contractor to cover for our full-time webdesigner who is on leave for an extended period of time unfortunately. We are open to part time engagements and there is a possibility of joining us full-time in the future if the candidate is interested.
 

 



 


Responsibilities

 



 
Cover the web design spectrum from UI/UX design in Sketch or Figma to implementing the designs in HTML/CSS (for complex interactivity and applications, you'll work together with our frontend engineers)
 
Work with clients and internal stakeholders on user flows that build the foundation for UI/UX designs.
 
Work closely with engineers as you build, iterate on, and ship ideas.
 
Create product component libraries and technical guidelines.
 
Occasionally support our marketing and business development team with work on social media design assets, presentations for client handoffs, new business pitches, digital assets for events, and content for blogs posts and talks.
