Posted YesterdayUX/UI Designer - Direct Contract
at Cro Metrics
Remote
Responsibilities
- Produce high-fidelity mockups and design assets for A/B tests, high-conversion pages, funnels, email/SMS campaigns, landing pages, and paid media creative across multiple client accounts.
- Execute within established design systems and brand guidelines, maintaining visual consistency and integrity across every deliverable.
- Support rapid experimentation cycles by delivering production-ready variations quickly and iterating based on results.
- Ground design decisions in data — experiment results, analytics, and conversion principles — rather than aesthetic preference alone.
- Prepare and organize design files for clean developer handoff, ensuring specs, assets, and annotations are clear and complete.
- Manage your workload across multiple concurrent projects, communicating proactively about capacity, timelines, and blockers.
- Collaborate with program managers, strategists and engineers to ensure alignment on intent, feasibility, and brand standards.
- Lead concepting and design execution for complex client engagements — website redesigns, customer flow improvements, paid media ads and landing pages, and multi-channel experiences — from early-stage concepts through production-ready deliverables.
- Own client-facing design presentations — articulate design rationale, walk stakeholders through concepts, and build trust as a strategic design partner.
- Architect and evolve design systems for clients and internal use — component libraries, tokens, patterns, and documentation that scale across projects.
- Conduct customer journey analysis, accessibility and UX/UI audits against WCAG, UX best practices, and conversion principles, delivering actionable findings and recommendations.
- Evaluate and recommend design tooling and processes that improve team efficiency, consistency, and output quality.
- Design systems expertise — you've built, maintained, or significantly contributed to scalable design systems.
Requirements
- Our proprietary platform, Iris, unifies analytics, testing, creative, and roadmaps in one system — with AI-powered tools that predict test outcomes, prioritize high-impact opportunities, and surface insights instantly. About the Role
- You collaborate deeply with strategists, engineers, analysts, and clients, present your work directly, and help mature Cro Metrics' AI-powered design capabilities. This level is ideal for a designer who thrives in ambiguity, enjoys working at the intersection of strategy, technology, and design, and wants meaningful ownership over the quality and impact of design work. (Typically 5–8+ years of relevant experience.)
- requirements to independently develop polished, production-ready designs in Figma — often working from a description of what's needed rather than pre-made wireframes.
- Leverage AI tools throughout your workflow to improve both the speed and the quality of your output — ideation, asset generation, iteration, and prototyping.
- Adapt quickly to new client brands and ways of working — learning their visual language, voice, and constraints, and working directly within their Figma instance and established processes when required — to produce on-brand work from the start.
- Bridge design and engineering — design ambitious-but-buildable solutions with an understanding of front-end constraints (HTML/CSS/JS), responsive behavior, and accessibility standards (WCAG).
- Help mature Cro Metrics' AI design practice — explore, evaluate, and integrate AI-powered tools (generative design, AI-assisted prototyping, prompt-to-design, asset generation) and bring leading-edge techniques back to the team.
- Experience in UI/UX design, digital production design, or a similar role (2–4 years for the Production level; see below for Senior).
- Strong Figma proficiency — fast, organized, clean, well-structured files with proper components, auto-layout, and naming conventions.
- Experience with conversion-focused design — landing pages, user flows, experiment variations, or similar.
- Ability to manage volume across multiple concurrent deliverables, clients, and channels without quality dipping.
- experience leading design on complex, multi-stakeholder projects (website redesigns, product strategy, or multi-channel experience design).
- Experience with data-informed design — comfortable using analytics, experiment results, and user research to guide decisions.
- Advanced Figma — components, variables, auto-layout, prototyping, and design tokens.
- A clear point of view on where AI-powered design is headed, backed by integration into your own practice. AI Is a Hard Requirement, Not a Preference
- This role requires active, demonstrated use of AI tools in your daily workflow — to support and accelerate your work (ideation, asset generation, iteration, prototyping), not to replace the craft, judgment, and quality that make a designer great.
- You'll be asked to show concrete AI-integrated workflows during the interview process.
- Candidates who cannot demonstrate practical AI tool use will not advance. Strongly Preferred •
- Experience at a CRO, experimentation, or growth marketing agency.
- Experience designing email templates for ESPs (Klaviyo, Braze, Iterable, or similar).
- Basic understanding of HTML/CSS and how designs translate to front-end development.
- Background in eCommerce, SaaS, or subscription-based product design.
- You measurably advance Cro Metrics' AI design capabilities — new tools adopted, new workflows established, or internal processes meaningfully improved.
Experience
- You translate strategy and creative direction into polished, pixel-perfect deliverables at pace, working within established design systems and brand guidelines across multiple clients and channels. This level is ideal for a designer who takes pride in executional excellence, thrives with clear direction, and can manage a high volume of deliverables without sacrificing quality. (Typically 2–4 years of relevant experience.)
- 5–8+ years in UX/UI design, product design, or a senior role blending strategic thinking with hands-on craft.
Additional details
- Type: Contract (long-term fractional, with potential for full-time conversion based on business need)
- As Cro Metrics continues to scale its integrated growth marketing services, the Design team is expanding to meet rising demand across CRO experimentation, website design and development, lifecycle marketing, and paid media.
- This is part of a strategic hiring plan to bring on reliable, high-quality design talent that can operate with consistency and speed across our full service offering and strengthen our creative, strategic, and technical design capabilities.
- Production & Execution — an execution-focused role for designers who translate hypotheses and creative direction into polished, pixel-perfect deliverables, on time and on budget.
- This designer executes across our full range of service lines — CRO experimentation, website design, lifecycle marketing, and paid media.
- The focus is consistent, high-quality output at pace.
- Senior, Strategic & Client-Facing — a strategic and technical role for designers who own both the thinking and the execution: shaping UX strategy and design systems, presenting to clients, and producing high-fidelity work across our service lines.
- Apply once, and we'll calibrate the right level and fit together throughout the interview process based on your experience, portfolio, and how you work.
- The two levels share the same foundation; the difference is scope of ownership, seniority, and how much strategic and client-facing responsibility you'll carry.
- The relationship is designed to be sustainable at part-time hours.
