Product Designer (Contract)

The Engagement

We are seeking a talented and motivated Product Designer for a part-time contract engagement (approximately 20 hours/week), playing a key role in shaping Masterworks' investing platform.

This is primarily a product design engagement, focused on designing user-centric features, flows, and interfaces for our web and mobile applications. A smaller, but meaningful, portion of the work will involve supporting our marketing team by designing content-driven investor communications, such as branded emails and campaign assets.

Scope of Work

• Lead the design of web and product experiences from concept through implementation.
• Create responsive, pixel-perfect designs in Figma (flows, wireframes, visual design, prototyping).
• Build and code responsive marketing emails using HTML/CSS, ensuring cross-client rendering and mobile optimization.
• Collaborate with product managers, marketers, and stakeholders in an agile, fast-paced environment.
• Uphold visual consistency across product and marketing assets through thoughtful layout, typography, and interaction design.
• Continuously test and refine designs, simplifying complex concepts into intuitive, elegant experiences.

Requirements

• A strong online portfolio of example web projects you've led in a hands-on capacity — candidates without one will not be considered.
• 3–6+ years of design experience in product-driven companies or fintech.
• Proficiency with design and prototyping tools (Figma, Adobe Creative Suite, etc.).
• Understanding of the formal elements of design, including UI, UX, layout, and typography.
• Experience working in agile, cross-functional teams.
• Detail-oriented with a sharp eye for implementation quality.
• Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to simplify complex concepts visually.
• Strong proficiency in HTML/CSS, particularly for responsive email design and cross-client compatibility.
• Availability for approximately 15 hours/week, with ability to manage deliverables independently against agreed timelines.

Engagement Details

• This is a part-time contract (1099) engagement, not eligible for Masterworks' employee benefits program.
• How does Masterworks think about compensation? The rate for this engagement is $75–$95/hour, based on approximately 15 hours/week. Specific compensation will depend on factors such as experience, qualifications, and alignment with market data for contract work of similar scope.
• Contract terms, duration, and hours will be outlined in the engagement agreement.
