* Required field.
Our client, a Chicago-based agency, is hiring a Visual/UX Designer for a 6–8 week contract project. This is an opportunity to take an established brand identity and bring it to life through a new consumer-facing (DTC) website. Working from the ground up, the designer will own the visual and UX design process, translating existing brand elements into a compelling, intuitive, and conversion-focused DTC experience.

The ideal candidate has designed multiple DTC e-commerce websites from start to finish, brings a strong visual eye, and can independently move from initial concepts to polished, high-fidelity designs in Figma. This is a fast-paced engagement requiring someone who can hit the ground running and deliver high-quality work against an aggressive timeline.

What’s the job?
  • Own the end-to-end UX and visual design of a new DTC e-commerce website, from initial concepts and wireframes through high-fidelity designs
  • Translate an established brand identity into a compelling consumer-facing digital shopping experience while maintaining brand consistency
  • Bring the brand to life visually through thoughtful layouts, content choices, product imagery, and an engaging overall website experience
  • Design key e-commerce pages and shopping journeys, including the homepage, product listing pages (PLPs), product detail pages (PDPs), cart, and checkout
  • Develop scalable page templates and design components
  • Work within Figma to develop, organize, and present high-fidelity website designs
  • Work independently while maintaining strong communication and alignment with the broader project team
  • Move quickly through design iterations and deliver key pages and design milestones within an aggressive project timeline

What’s needed?
  • 4+ years of experience in UX, UI, or digital experience design, with a strong portfolio demonstrating multiple end-to-end DTC e-commerce website projects
  • Must have personally designed multiple DTC e-commerce websites from start to finish; portfolio examples should clearly demonstrate website design work, not solely mobile applications or digital products
  • Exceptional visual design skills and a strong creative eye, with the ability to bring a brand to life through thoughtful, high-quality website design
  • Strong understanding of e-commerce UX, including site architecture, product discovery, product detail pages, and core shopping journeys
  • Advanced Figma proficiency, including the ability to translate concepts into polished, high-fidelity designs
  • Experience designing scalable website templates and components for large product catalogs
  • Comfortable working independently, navigating ambiguity, and taking ownership of design deliverables
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work closely with project leadership and incorporate feedback
  • Ability to work efficiently and maintain a high standard of design quality within tight timelines
  • Ideally located in the Central or Eastern time zone and able to work Central Time hours weekly

Key Details
  • Compensation: $50–$57/hour (W2 only), depending on experience
  • Location: Remote (Central or Eastern time zone preferred)
  • Work Model: Remote
  • Schedule: Central Time hours
  • Benefits: Consultants are eligible to enroll in benefits, including medical, dental, and vision
  • Employment Type: Contract (6 weeks)
  • Duration: 6 weeks to start, with the potential to extend in 2027
