Never send money to companies. Jobs on Himalayas will never require payment from applicants.

We’re looking for a highly skilled and motivated UX/UI Design Lead to partner with our fast-paced, innovative digital marketing agency on a freelance basis. In this role, you’ll take the lead in shaping exceptional user experiences across multiple website projects. We’re seeking a problem solver with a sharp eye for detail who’s passionate about crafting engaging, interactive web-based deliverables.

What You'll Do

  • Collaborate with creative leadership, project managers, designers, and developers to understand project goals, user requirements, and design specifications
  • Create wireframes to later translate designs into responsive, intuitive, and visually appealing user interfaces
  • Develop and maintain a consistent and cohesive UI design system, ensuring brand guidelines and design patterns are followed across all digital platforms
  • Create interactive prototypes and user flows to visualize and validate design concepts and functionality
  • Communicate your design strategy by creating meaningful UX deliverables such as sitemaps, wireframes, prototypes, and presentations that help the team — and the client — understand what to build and why
  • Own overall end-to-end user experience — from the big picture (overall user experience and consistency across an entire product) down to specifics of UI layout or third-party integrations.
  • Understand how to implement front-end technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) to create seamless and engaging user interfaces and solve specific UI challenges
  • Optimize applications for maximum speed and scalability while ensuring cross-browser and cross-device compatibility and accessibility standards (WCAG AA)
  • Collaborate closely with front-end developers to create proof-of-concept demos of interactions and experiences you want to accomplish through the UI
  • Collaborate closely with back-end developers to integrate user-facing elements with server-side logic
  • Provide guidance and mentorship to junior UX/UI team members, sharing insights and fostering professional growth

Who You Are

  • Experienced with UI design tools such as Figma, Adobe XD, and Sketch
  • Strong understanding of UX/UI principles and ability to implement user-centric design solutions
  • Knowledge of responsive and mobile-first design principles, with an emphasis on optimizing user experiences across various devices and screen sizes
  • Proficiency in designing and building UI components using HTML5, CSS3 or SASS.
  • Ability to work independently and collaboratively, managing multiple projects and deadlines
  • Exceptional problem-solving skills, with a creative approach to finding solutions
  • Strong attention to detail and ability to deliver high-quality work in a fast-paced environment
  • Excellent communication and teamwork skills, with the ability to effectively collaborate with cross-functional teams
  • Demonstrated ability to stay up-to-date with the latest web development trends and technologies
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills in 1:1 and group meetings, both internal and client facing
