WEB DESIGNER

RALLY is seeking a **Web Designer** to join our design team and help create compelling websites and digital experiences for organizations working on some of today’s most pressing social and political issues.

In this role, you’ll work across the full web design process, from early website architecture and wireframes through visual design, responsive systems, prototyping, developer handoff, and quality assurance. You’ll bring strong visual design fundamentals alongside an understanding of UX, accessibility, and how websites behave across browsers, devices, and content management systems.

You don’t need to be a front-end developer, but you should understand the grain of the web. You know how HTML and CSS shape the interfaces you design, how layouts respond across breakpoints, and how technical considerations, integrations, accessibility, and content structure influence design decisions. You’re equally comfortable thinking through a site map, refining a typography system, building a scalable Figma component library, and collaborating with developers to make sure the final site delivers on the design intent.

This is a role for a collaborative, detail-oriented designer who can move comfortably between creative exploration and systematic thinking. You can present your work persuasively, explain the reasoning behind your decisions, manage your own work across multiple concurrent projects, and collaborate closely with strategists, communicators, developers, project managers, and fellow creatives.

• Create prototypes and interaction examples that clearly communicate functionality, responsive behavior, transitions, and web animation to clients and development teams.
• Prepare clear developer handoffs and collaborate with developers through implementation, including quality assurance across devices and screen sizes to ensure the final website reflects design intent.

**UX & Web Fundamentals**

• Contribute to website architecture and UX through sitemaps, navigation systems, wireframes, user flows, information hierarchy, and common interaction patterns.
• Design responsive experiences with a working understanding of HTML, CSS, browser behavior, breakpoints, flexible layouts, and common website integrations, collaborating with developers to ensure designs are achievable and scalable.
• Apply web accessibility best practices and WCAG principles across visual design, content hierarchy, interactions, forms, focus states, and other interface decisions.
• Bring a foundational understanding of SEO, including metadata, semantic content structure, heading hierarchy, image alt text, internal linking, and how search engines crawl and interpret websites.

**Collaboration & Project Management**

• Present design concepts and recommendations to clients with confidence, clearly and persuasively articulating the thinking behind design decisions and responding thoughtfully to feedback.
• Collaborate closely with strategists, communicators, project managers, designers, developers, and other interdisciplinary team members throughout the design and development process.
• Own and manage your workflow across multiple concurrent projects, communicating proactively about progress, timing, questions, and blocker…
