UI/UX Designer

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)

Requirements for the role:

• 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 Figma experience is particularly important
• Experience with a content management system is helpful, but direct AEM experience is not mandatory
• Analytics experience should be sufficient to understand the implications of data, rather than requiring expert-level analytics skills
• 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
• Or equivalent combination of education, experience, and training

Preferred Qualifications (Nice to Have):

• Financial Services experience – strong plus
• B2B / Professional Services experience – appreciated
• Experience with AEM or another component-based/content management system – valuable
• UX testing/experimentation experience – bonus, not required
• Analytics tools (e.g., Adobe Analytics / Google Analytics) – understanding of implications

Interview Process:

• Multi-stage interview process – likely approximately 3 stages/interviews
• Interviews are expected to be conducted virtually
