Job Title: Experience Designer, UI (Email)
Location: Remote — must reside in Hawaii, Texas,
New Jersey, California, Washington, or Oregon (contract restriction)
Why this role exists
Our Experience Design UI team is at full capacity. We need a senior UI designer to elevate the quality of our “in-world” emails—bringing advanced visual craft, technical execution, and motion to production while ensuring compatibility across major email clients and alignment with platform/development constraints.
What you’ll do
• Own the end-to-end design of branded, “in-world” marketing emails—from concept and visual exploration to production-ready assets.
• Build production-ready email UI (componentized, responsive HTML/CSS or MJML) with bulletproof compatibility across Outlook, Gmail, Apple Mail, Yahoo, and mobile clients (Dark Mode, high-DPI, light/dark assets, image-off states).
• Design tasteful motion for email (animated GIF/APNG, CSS animation where supported, fallbacks where not) that enhances clarity and performance budgets.
• Systematize the work: establish a reusable email design system (tokens, components, specs) aligned to brand and development constraints.
• Partner cross-functionally with creative, copy, product/MarTech, and developers to ensure handoffs include specs, states, alt text, and documented fallbacks.
• QA and iterate using Litmus/Email on Acid—fix rendering edge cases, optimize assets, and validate accessibility.
• Guardrails & governance: maintain file size budgets, image ratios, fonts/fallbacks, and link/tracking standards (UTMs, analytics).
• Continuously improve via A/B learnings—translate insights into scalable patterns.
What you’ll bring
• 5+ years in UI/visual design with deep email craft (portfolio showing complex, high-quality campaigns and code-accurate builds).
• Mastery of Figma (components, variants, auto-layout) and Adobe CC; comfortable producing production-ready HTML/CSS for email or MJML.
• Proven expertise in cross-client rendering (tables, hybrid/spongy techniques, media queries, MSO conditions, VML, Dark Mode).
• Motion for email: creating performant animated assets with clear fallback strategies.
• Strong grasp of accessibility for email (semantic structure, focus order, contrast, alt text, live-text over images).
• Familiarity with ESP constraints and handoff to platforms (e.g., SFMC, Braze, Adobe Campaign, Iterable): content blocks, personalization tokens, and partials/snippets.
• Excellent communication, documentation, and stakeholder management skills; able to influence without direct authority.
Nice to have
• Experience with AMP for Email, Lottie-to-GIF workflows, or lightweight CSS animation strategies.
• Knowledge of design tokens and component libraries shared across web/app/email.
• Understanding of data/privacy constraints and platform limitations that impact design (e.g., image hosting, link wrapping, tracking).
How we’ll measure success
• Rendering pass rate across target clients and Dark Mode.
• Design system adoption (component reuse, fewer net-new templates).
• Performance & quality (load time, asset weight, accessibility checks).
• Impact on engagement (CTR/CTO where design changes are isolated via tests).
Work authorization: Must be located in HI, TX, NJ, CA, WA, or OR due to contract requirements.
Portfolio required: Please include examples of complex email designs, motion treatments, and (if available) code snippets or Litmus/EOA test captures.
