Success looks like

  • Strong collaboration with front-end developers and cross-functional teams.
  • Deep proficiency in Figma and Adobe Creative Suite.
  • Solid understanding of responsive design, accessibility standards, and performance optimization principles.
  • Familiarity with A/B testing methodologies and tools.

Nice to have

  • Experience with Webflow (or similar platforms).
  • An understanding of animation spec or use of tools like Rive or Lotte.
  • Tech industry experience, especially in SaaS, B2B, or fintech contexts.
  • Knowledge of analytics tools used in CRO testing.

Key competencies
