Job Details:
Job Title: UI/UX Design Consultant - II
Location: New York City, NY/ Jersey City, NJ
Duration: 12 Months
Type: Full-Time, Contract

Note: Portfolio required should demonstrate solid UX work and evidence of working through multiple phases of the process from strategic planning and wireframing through development, implementation, and execution.

Description:
This would be the first dedicated full-time person in this specific role on the site/team. Similar work is currently being distributed across contractors and agencies. The role will have a strong focus on visual design and interaction design, with some UX testing/experimentation experience appreciated. The designer will be responsible for both building layouts and experiences within the existing AEM environment and helping develop new components/systems and evolve the existing system. The manager indicated an approximate 50/50 split between working within the existing AEM system and helping evolve/develop new components and systems. Strong design execution is more important than deep technical/CMS expertise. The team is open to candidates coming from other component-based CMS environments and can provide AEM training.

Top 5-7 Skills:

1. Strong UX, visual, and interaction design capabilities

2. Strong Figma skills

3. Demonstrated experience taking designs through multiple stages from strategy/wireframing through development and implementation

4. Experience with AEM or another component-based/content management system (AEM is a strong plus)

5. Ability to work through multiple stages of the design process, from strategic planning and wireframing through development, implementation, and execution

6. Analytics experience sufficient to understand the implications of data

7. UX testing/experimentation experience (appreciated but not required)

• Strong UX, visual, and interaction design capabilities

• Ability to work through multiple stages of the design process, from strategic planning and wireframing through development, implementation, and execution

• Strong design execution is more important than deep technical/CMS expertise

• Portfolio should demonstrate solid user experience work and design thinking, with evidence of execution across multiple stages of the process: strategic planning wireframing development implementation/execution

• Portfolios should demonstrate that candidates can work through the broader design process rather than only showing polished final visuals

Education and Experience:

• Bachelor's degree in Design, Interaction Design, HCI, or a related field (preferred)

• 5 8+ years of relevant UX/UI design experience

• Candidates with more experience than the target range will still be considered; candidates with less experience are harder to accept
