NOW HIRING: Web & UX Designer

Company: Zoomforth
Website: https://www.zoomforth.com
Headquarters: San Francisco, California, United States


Zoomforth is a web design software. So we need to constantly demonstrate best practices, build new templates, and show our customers how they can use our software to create beautiful digital experiences.

Moreover, we often support our customers when they need help, either because they don't have designers on staff, or because they're looking for our expertise on a high-priority or high-visibility project. Much like Squarespace Specialists or Certified Wordpress Developers, at Zoomforth we need our own group of expert designers who can support our customers' needs (as well as our own internal needs, from time to time) and make our product shine.

This role would involve working with the Customer Success and Design teams, as well as our customers. In many cases, you'd be leading a team of designers, exercising your creativity, setting best practices for our work, and making our customer design process more effective.


RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Your primary function will be to design sites for our most important customers. Sometimes you'll be working with a client to scope the project, and then pass off to other designers to implement. Sometimes you'll execute the wireframes and mockups yourself. You'll need to determine, based on the characteristics of the project and the resources in the organization, what's best for the client and for Zoomforth, and execute on that.
  • Our customers are primarily Fortune 500 enterprises, and the majority of their design requests come in the following use cases:
  • Proposal microsites for large enterprise sales
  • Internal learning hubs and leadership communications
  • Event pages

Critically, your role is not simply to take content and make a pretty website for our customers in our software. Rather, you work with customers to understand who they are communicating with, and what outcomes they're looking to drive. You evaluate the efficacy of content, explore various methods of laying out content to drive specific actions, implement best options, and communicate your thinking clearly.


REQUIREMENTS

  • Stellar UX, information architecture, and visual design chops: you make the internet pretty. You know how to not only craft beautiful web design, but you also understand how and why to architect information so it resonates with viewers, and inspires action.
  • Ability to turn thoughtful questions into clear plans and instructions. You'll need to scope projects with clients and brief participating designers on how to get the job done effectively and efficiently.
  • Design process & systems thinking: We need someone who understands the design process from end-to-end, the different stakeholders involved, and how to communicate and shepherd projects through the various steps.
  • Knowledge of web usability: Accessibility standards, optimizing layouts and call-to-actions, legibility, information hierarchy.
  • A portfolio you can share that exhibits real work examples of style guides, UI design, landing pages, and/or brand work.
  • Strong team and client relationship skills: you'll be working with communicative and engaged colleagues, as well as customers who are placing their confidence in Zoomforth.


NICE TO HAVES

  • CSS/HTML and javascript
  • Experience working in a startup, and also working with larger clients
  • Experience working with a SaaS product, or similar web design software


COMPENSATION

Salary & Perks

COMPENSATION & LOGISTICS

  • $25-60/hr base
  • Remote working - work from wherever you like
  • Flexible hours - work whatever hours suit you best


SELECTION

Screening & Interview Process

1) PORTFOLIO REVIEW
First, we will review your portfolio

2) INTRO PHONE CALL (15-20 mins)
We will then do a ~ 20 minute phone screen to get the basics. We want to know what you're looking for in your work, and some high level info about your skill set and previous experiences. We also want to share more about who we are and why we're looking for this role. The goal is to ensure that we're on the same page and that we meet the basic needs of the other party. We're pretty committed to transparency, so if something doesn't align, we'll be upfront with you.

3) PAID DESIGN EXERCISE (3-4 hours)
If we have urgent client work, we'll simply get you going on it. The best way to explore whether we work well together is to test that out in a real scenario.

If there aren't urgent client design tasks, we'll provide a design task that we have internally, or an exercise. This is a 3-4 hour practical exercise that will allow you to showcase your design skills. It will also help us understand how you work and where you might need the most support to get up to speed with our software.

4) DESIGN REVIEW AND OFFER
After you've completed the work, we'll do a 30 minute review, and give you the chance to ask questions, provide feedback, and reflect on the experience. We'll then determine if it's worth continuing the relationship, along with the terms.

  • Be able to tackle the small amount of non-WordPress items that our client submit (this might mean stepping outside of your WP comfort zone).
  • Be self-motivated and take initiative. If you’re the kind of person who waits for someone to tell you what to do, this isn’t your kind of place.
  • Be a problem solver. We don’t expect you to single-handedly solve every problem that our clients send in, but we’ve found that everyone on our team has a problem-solving mentality.
  • Have a basic understanding of or familiarity with the following technologies: PHP, MySQL/MariaDB, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, DNS, CDN, and caching (object and page).
  • Be able to juggle… multiple tasks at once, that is. You’ll need the ability to pivot quickly to complete, assign, and follow up on a variety of tasks each day.
  • Have a “can-do attitude” and be willing to jump in and try something new to expand your skills and contribute to our greater good.
  • Be an avid learner. Half the fun of this job is learning what goes on behind the scenes to keep up with a constantly shifting market and our own quick-paced, rapidly evolving industry. You should be excited to share knowledge by educating and receiving education from others, both team members and clients.
  • Be able to thrive in a fast-paced environment and still provide quality, detailed, and exceptional customer service to our clients.
  • Simply put, care about your work. As an agency, we know the impact we have on the world is through the way we amplify our clients’ impact. For that reason, we work only with people with whom we’re well-aligned. That goes for clients and team members.

Still intrigued?

Wow! We’re impressed… In exchange for these skills you’ll be rewarded with a very flexible work schedule, medical benefits, the option to telecommute as you’d like, great pay, unlimited leave, as well as participation in our annual shutdown (two, sometimes more, weeks off at the end of the year) and most federal holidays. Perhaps more importantly you’ll find yourself immersed in work that actually matters.

Think you’ve got what it takes? Great! In addition to sharing a favorite quote, please tell us something cool that you’ve learned recently. Big, small, nerdy, weird, or just plain fascinating… lay it on us! We like cool facts.

P.S. – It’s worth mentioning that if you join us, you’ll participate in our pursuit to positively impact the lives of 100,000,000 people by the end of 2020. It’s no small task, but we’re already at over 85,000,000 and with someone like you on the team? Our odds just got better.
