• Own the entire design process on your projects, from UX to visual design and branding. We're a small team so you will have plenty of autonomy and ownership of your projects

• Mentor junior designers on the team by providing meaningful feedback, nurturing their growth, and leading by example
• Collaborate with Project Managers and Developers to scope projects and prioritize tasks. Planning successful projects is a team effort

Skills

• 5+ years of experience, ideally in a design agency setting
• A portfolio that you're proud of and that reflects both your UI and UX skillsets

• Strong communication skills and ability to articulate your design rationale to colleagues and clients alike
• Ability to multitask and switch context while maintaining a high attention to detail
• Desire for feedback and continuous growth for you and your teammates

Bonus Skills

• Design chops in other disciplines — video editing, motion design, illustration, or others
• Familiarity with online learning and creator platforms like Thinkific, Teachable, Kajabi, Podia, Circle, Substack, and others
• Understanding of front end development frameworks (HTML, SCSS)

Compensation and Benefits

• Competitive compensation
• Unlimited paid time off for vacation, sick days, and personal time as needed. We actively encourage team members to make use of this time-off policy
• Flexible working hours and remote-friendly culture
• Extended health care benefits
• Opportunity to grow as the company grows
• Exposure and learning between Agency and Product business units
