Senior/Lead Product Design Contractor
for headings. Use - for lists,
for prose.
We need to parse the posting.
Key sections:
- About AllTrails (intro) maybe not needed as a heading? The instruction: use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should include headings only for those categories if content exists. The intro about AllTrails maybe could be placed under "About the role"? Actually "About the role" is a heading we can use for the description of the role. The initial paragraph about AllTrails is company overview; could be part of "About the role" or maybe we can omit as not required? But we must preserve ALL substantive information; we cannot drop company overview if it's substantive. However the instruction says use those headings for section headings; we could still include a
before headings? It says output ONLY the HTML fragment; we can include a
for prose anywhere. So we can start with a
containing the AllTrails overview, then
About the role
etc.
We need to extract responsibilities: bullet list under "What you'll be doing". That's responsibilities.
Requirements/Qualifications/Skills: The posting has "What You Bring" list with many items. Could be split into Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. But we need to decide based on content. The instruction: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could combine into one section like "Requirements" or "Qualifications". But we have to follow headings list; we can include multiple if they have content. However we should avoid thin sections. The "What You Bring" list includes experience, abilities, etc. Could be considered Requirements. Could also include Skills (AI fluency, design systems thinking, branding, illustration). Might be better to split into Requirements (experience, ability to prioritize, data collection, facilitate feedback, provide design direction, stakeholder buy-in, product execution) and Skills (AI fluency, design systems thinking, digital presence, branding/illustration, color theory). Qualifications maybe similar to Requirements. But to avoid many thin sections, we could just have one "Requirements" section containing all bullet points. That would be substantive.
Pay: The posting includes "Compensation: $100-$130 hourly". So we need a Pay section with that.
Schedule: "Expected hours: 30 hours per week maximum". Also duration: 5 to 6 months, start dates, end date. That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section with those details.
Benefits: Not mentioned. No benefits section.
Thus sections: About the role (maybe include company overview and role description?), Responsibilities, Requirements, Pay, Schedule.
We need to ensure we don't include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We need to preserve all substantive information: company overview, role description, responsibilities list, requirements list, compensation, hours, duration, start dates, location, remote, compliance note for certain states.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, privacy notice, AI tools in hiring, etc. Remove those.
Also remove duplicated lines: The line "This is a U.S.-based remote contract engagement. Contractors in CA, CO, OR, NY, NJ, RI, and WA are subject to additional compliance requirements." appears twice; we should include once.
Also remove application instructions etc.
Now craft HTML.
Start with a for company overview: "AllTrails is the app for exploring the outdoors. We help people spend more time outside by connecting them to their next adventure. AllTrails is home to the world’s largest outdoor community, with members and trails around the globe, and supports inclusive access to nature. Every day, we solve incredibly hard problems to get more people outside, for their wellbeing and the collective care of the natural world."
Then maybe another
for the role overview: "This is a U.S.-based remote contract engagement. Contractors in CA, CO, OR, NY, NJ, RI, and WA are subject to additional compliance requirements." Then maybe a
about the role: "AllTrails is where the outdoors comes to life and this role is for an experienced design contractor who thinks the same way. In this project-based role, you'll partner with our Product Design team, you'll work at the intersection of craft, product thinking, and technical curiosity. You'll bring strong craft, product thinking, and technical curiosity to projects ranging from exploring user behaviors and iterating on features to using code and AI as creative tools. You'll work independently, collaborate closely with cross-functional partners, and own your deliverables from exploration through execution—helping us ship experiences that matter to millions of people who spend their lives outside. This is a dual-level freelance opening (Senior or Lead) at 30 hours per week; the job title and hourly rate will be determined by the candidate's background and experience. The ideal candidate will be available to start during the week of September 28, 2026, or October 5, 2026, and commit to the role through March 19, 2027."
But note that some of that overlaps with schedule etc. We'll keep schedule separate.
Now responsibilities: list under "What you'll be doing". Items:
- Work in highly collaborative cross-functional teams to identify opportunities, make bets and decisions, and ship meaningful product updates
- Bring strategic thinking to the team, with a proven ability to sequence execution and place informed bets
- Craft experiences that effectively communicate membership value and scale across different markets with local relevance
- Evolve overall design language of AllTrails, systemize visual and motion effects to guide user attention and confirm actions
- Leverage AI tools with sound judgment, using front-end code as a medium to explore, communicate, and advance the work
- Leverage and contribute to our evolving design system
We'll put those in
- .
Now requirements: list under "What You Bring". Items:
- 7+ years of professional experience researching, designing, and shipping consumer-facing digital product features across iOS, Android, and web (extensive B2C experience is a must)
- Demonstrated successful experiences taking ideas from concept through release and learning from post-launch performance
- Demonstrated ability to prioritize critical tasks, accurately estimate scope, and consistently deliver high-quality outcomes on schedule
- Experience with qualitative and quantitative data collection and analysis
- Able to facilitate constructive feedback and evolve designs to meet business objectives
- Able to provide design direction and pattern recommendation to other cross-functional teammates
- Expert at driving stakeholder buy-in for high-impact initiatives
- Solid product execution driven by sharp visual, interaction, and motion design judgment
- AI Fluency: you are skilled at creating effective prompts, supplying useful context, evaluating AI-generated output critically, and iteratively steer the result toward a high-quality product
- Strong design systems thinking: you know when to use an existing pattern, extend it, or create something new; you balance speed with long-term system health
- A strong digital presence with a demonstrated ability to engage and grow communities online
- Possess strong branding and illustration skills, backed by with a solid understanding of color theory and visual storytelling
Note there is a small grammar issue "backed by with". We'll keep as is.
Now Pay: "$100-$130 hourly".
Schedule: Include expected hours, duration, start dates, end date, location.
- Expected hours: 30 hours per week maximum
- Duration: 5 to 6 months
- Start dates: week of September 28, 2026, or October 5, 2026
- End date: March 19, 2027
- Location: Remote, United States
- Note: Contractors in CA, CO, OR, NY, NJ, RI, and WA are subject to additional compliance requirements.
We should not duplicate the compliance line; we already included earlier maybe. We'll include it in schedule or earlier. Let's include it in schedule as a note.
Now ensure we don't include any heading with empty content.
We'll output:
