Hiring: Ecommerce Web Designer
A few years ago we (Fuel Made) were just a small handful of people focused on building the very best ecommerce experiences on the web. Leading out with strong design is how we delighted our clients, and grew our agency. Our design-driven approach led to success, and opportunities we couldn’t have imagined.
Today we work with a range of projects from startups, to successful established brands. To remain competitive, they all need strong, clear, expert help with UX-driven ecommerce design. The opportunity to service these clients is challenging and exciting.
We are seeking an experienced web designer to join our team. In this position you will work with our team, and directly with our clients. You will be designing the solutions we build. This is a serious responsibility, and an exciting one. Watching your hard work come to life as it progresses through the project life cycle, and then watching our client's delight as it impacts their growth is rewarding. This is why we love ecommerce.
A quick summary of your responsibilities:
Once a client comes on board you will work with them on things like discovery, user flows and user experience, style direction, and of course the visual design. You'll then shepherd all that design work through the development process.
You’ll also be helping shape and evolve the Fuel Made brand. As we interact with clients, as we produce marketing material, as we present ourselves, you will help with that, ensure brand consistency and quality, and help us reach new heights.
