You’re Smart, Hungry, Humble, and Curious—someone who takes initiative, communicates clearly, and thrives in collaborative, fast-paced environments. You care deeply about the people you design for and the teams you design with.
What You'll Do:
• Collaborate within a cross-functional client team (Product Management, Research, UX, and Development) to design and deliver high-quality product experiences.
• Balance user needs, business objectives, and technical constraints throughout the design process.
• Translate research insights into user flows, interaction models, and intuitive interface designs.
• Create mid- to high-fidelity designs and interactive prototypes using Figma. Leverage and evolve design systems to ensure visual and functional consistency across products.
• Work with the dedicated Research Manager to plan, observe, and synthesize usability studies and user feedback.
• Deliver detailed design specifications and collaborate with developers during implementation.
• Present design rationale clearly to stakeholders, fostering alignment and shared understanding.
• Contribute to a culture of continuous improvement, curiosity, and collaboration within the team.
What We’re Looking For
• Independent contractor or freelancer with excellent communication and client partnership skills.
• 5+ years of experience in product design (UX/UI) for web and mobile applications.
• Strong proficiency in user-centered design principles, design systems, and iterative design workflows.
• Demonstrated ability to work in agile or lean product environments, ideally within cross-functional teams.
• Strong visual design fundamentals (layout, typography, color) and attention to detail.
• Comfortable engaging with user research and data to inform design decisions.
• Self-directed with strong collaboration skills—able to contribute confidently while supporting shared goals.
• Experience in agency, consultancy, or embedded client roles preferred.
Requirements:
• This is a 40hr/wk contract opportunity, not a full-time employment position.
• Work is fully remote (U.S.-based only); Seattle-based residents a plus
• You must be authorized to work in the U.S. We cannot sponsor or assume sponsorship of employment visas
• Experience working remotely with distributed teams.
• 5+ years of experience in UX/UI or Product Design roles.
• Strong portfolio demonstrating end-to-end design process and outcomes.
• Proficiency in Figma
