UX Designer (Remote)

About the Job

Cypress HCM is seeking an agile and highly visual UX/Visual Designer to support the digital experiences and creative initiatives of a leading entertainment and media company. This role focuses on web design, scalable design-system components, visual assets, and emerging AI-powered creative tools.

The ideal candidate can move quickly from initial concepts to polished, production-ready designs while independently solving design challenges and maintaining high quality under tight deadlines. The designer will contribute to B2B, SaaS, entertainment, digital merchandising, and upper-funnel e-commerce experiences, with a strong emphasis on improving business-facing websites and developing reusable design components.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and improve digital experiences for business-facing websites and other digital properties.
• Create reusable design-system components and patterns using Figma.
• Identify and solve visual and user experience design challenges efficiently.
• Source, generate, edit, and manipulate imagery using traditional and AI-powered creative tools.
• Explore and integrate emerging AI tools and workflows into the design process.
• Translate concepts into polished, production-ready designs within tight timelines.
• Collaborate with stakeholders and clients to develop effective creative solutions.
• Support B2B, SaaS, and web-based product experiences.
• Develop creative assets for entertainment, sports, seasonal campaigns, and digital merchandising initiatives.
• Contribute to upper-funnel e-commerce and retail experiences, focusing on discovery and engagement rather than transactional checkout.
• Participate in A/B testing and user-testing initiatives when appropriate.
• Communicate design decisions clearly and present the rationale behind creative solutions to stakeholders.
• Stay informed about emerging technologies, AI-powered creative tools, and evolving design practices.

Required Qualifications

• Professional experience as a Product Designer, UX Designer, Visual Designer, Digital Designer, or in a similar role.
• Several years of hands-on experience working with Figma.
• A strong portfolio demonstrating design thinking, problem-solving, and the process behind design decisions—not just finished visuals.
• Experience designing websites and digital products.
• Experience creating reusable design-system components and patterns.
• Strong visual design skills and an understanding of modern web experiences.
• Ability to work efficiently, manage competing priorities, and deliver quality designs under tight deadlines.
• Strong communication skills, including the ability to explain design decisions and creative processes.
• Comfort working collaboratively with stakeholders and clients.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with AI-powered design tools and creative technologies.
• A demonstrated interest in artificial intelligence and emerging technologies.
• Experience designing B2B or SaaS products and digital experiences.
• Background in entertainment, media, television, sports, retail, or e-commerce.
• Experience with digital merchandising and large-scale consumer or business-facing websites.
• Familiarity with A/B testing and user-testing methodologies.
• Experience creating AI-generated or AI-enhanced imagery.
• Experience supporting customer-facing or client-driven design initiatives.

Ideal Candidate Profile

The ideal candidate is a proactive, adaptable designer who can balance speed, creativity, and quality. They enjoy solving complex design problems, moving between different types of creative projects, and experimenting with new tools and technologies.

A genuine interest in AI-driven design innovation is important. Experience in entertainment and television, along with exposure to B2B, SaaS, digital merchandising, or upper-funnel e-commerce, will be particularly valuable.

Candidates whose experience is primarily limited to static graphic design, who have outdated Figma skills, or who are uncomfortable adopting new technologies may not be a good fit for this role.
