• Strong Figma skills for style guides, wireframes, and responsive mockups.
• Experience planning site architecture, navigation, collections, and filtering.
• Ability to conduct a UX audit and clearly explain recommendations.
• Strong understanding of e-commerce UX, mobile-first design, visual hierarchy, and typography.
• Ability to design attractive storefront experiences within the practical capabilities of Shopify themes.
• Working knowledge of WCAG accessibility fundamentals.
• Strong professional spoken and written English.
• Confidence leading client-facing meetings and presenting design recommendations in English.
• Ability to create clear written documentation and record short training videos.
• Reliable availability during agreed U.S. business hours.
• Strong organization, ownership, responsiveness, and attention to detail in a remote environment.

Requirements

• Experience with Klaviyo, including flows, templates, and signup forms.
• Experience with Shopify apps such as Rebuy, Judge.me, Okendo, Yotpo, Recharge, or Gorgias.
• Basic Liquid and/or HTML/CSS knowledge.
• Experience with A/B testing or Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO).
• Experience supporting Magento-to-Shopify or BigCommerce-to-Shopify migrations.
• Familiarity with AI-assisted design tools and incorporating AI into design workflows.

Benefits

• Competitive compensation of $1,400–$2,200 USD/month.
• Fully remote opportunity from Latin America.
• Flexible U.S. working hours, with schedules that can fall anywhere between Eastern and Pacific business hours based on team needs.
