  • Translate client conversations, shopper insights, business needs, and merchant data into clear design recommendations and actionable next steps.
  • Create E-commerce experiences across key pages and touch-points and campaign moments.
  • Create clean, modern, and conversion focused designs that support brand storytelling, product discovery, shopper trust, merchandising, and business performance.
  • Design and build prototypes using Figma, Figma Make, Claude, or other AI assisted prototyping tools to explore, communicate, and validate design ideas.
  • Create visual designs and brand assets for E-commerce experiences.
  • Use user insights, merchant feedback, and business data to identify opportunities and inform design decisions.
  • Present design concepts and recommendations with clear storytelling, strong rationale, and practical guidance.
  • Work closely with solution teams, developers, engineers, and implementation partners to make sure designs are feasible and accurately executed.
  • Prepare clear design files, responsive layouts, annotations, component guidance, interaction notes, and hand-off documentation.
  • Own the end to end quality of the design experience, from discovery and concept development to design delivery, hand-off, implementation review, and final QA.
  • Review implemented designs and provide feedback to ensure the final experience matches the intended design quality.

Requirements

  • 3+ years of experience in UI/UX design, E-commerce design, web design, digital product design, or brand experience design.

  • Strong understanding of E-commerce platforms, shopper journeys, page structures, themes, templates, app integrations, and implementation workflows.
  • Strong understanding of shopper behavior, product discovery, trust building, merchandising, conversion, retention, and customer lifetime value.
  • Ability to understand merchant data, user feedback, and business context, then translate them into practical design decisions.
  • Strong visual and branding skills, with the ability to create polished E-commerce pages, marketing assets, content modules, and brand storytelling moments.
  • Strong business understanding, with the ability to connect design decisions to brand goals, revenue opportunities, customer experience, and client priorities.
  • Excellent communication and storytelling skills, with the ability to explain design rationale, present recommendations, and influence clients and internal stakeholders.
  • Able to collaborate closely with technical teams and prepare clear, implementation ready design files, annotations, and specifications.
  • Able to work in a fast paced environment, learn quickly, stay flexible, receive feedback with low ego, and maintain a high bar for quality and detail.
  • Collaborative and direct communicator. Share work early, give and receive feedback well, and know how to align cross functional stakeholders.
