Position overview:

We’re looking for an enthusiastic web designer to join the EnticEdge team to assist with website design, user experience design, and marketing strategy implementation, for our growing client list and internally for EnticEdge. This role is a contract 1099 remote position, although we’re looking for someone who’s motivated to take on a larger role as our company grows — preference will be given to candidates in Chicago or Boston areas (we love remote work, but we have office spaces there and would love to see your face once a week).

Role & responsibilities:

• This is a hybrid role perfect for a designer interested in web design and app design and who loves being involved of every step of a project from planning to launch! We’re looking for a go-getter who can take feedback well, is independent but collaborative, and always meets deadlines.

• As a UX designer at EnticEdge, you’ll be responsible for leading and contributing to website design projects for our clients, for our internal website, and for our proprietary Cornerpiece® app. We’re looking for a multi-faceted designer who’s ready to step up to design challenges across platforms and who understands the need to balance user & client needs and experiences.

• Our team works cross-functionally across all departments, meaning this role will work alongside the marketing, strategy, and development teams to ensure that the goals and input of all teams are in alignment for each project. We’re looking for someone who’s a great communicator and loves working as part of a collaborative team!

• We’re looking for someone who’s passionate about UX design but also understands the value of marketing and the need to balance client goals alongside a frictionless user experience. Our ideal candidate feels strongly aligned with our Digital Marketing Approach.

• In addition to planning, wireframes, and designs, web designers are often included in the development process since we typically use intuitive content management systems, such as Squarespace, for all website projects. This means, a typical day as an EnticEdge UX designer could include client communications, updating designs, and making those changes directly into the chosen CMS.

• Part of your responsibilities will be to communicate directly with clients via email, calendars, and comments on different programs (Drive, Canva, etc).

Requirements & Commitment

• Must be proficient with Canva & Squarespace (or similar programs), experience with Adobe Suite is a plus. While we love fellow lifelong learners, this is not an internship role and we’re looking for someone who is already confident with these programs.

• Strong communicator, well-organized, and proactive. We’re looking for someone who can proactively anticipate roadblocks, stay organized and on top of timelines, and communicate effectively directly with clients and with our extended team.

• Takes and gives feedback well! We work collaboratively at EnticEdge and our departments are never siloed — you’re a team player who’s ready to take/give feedback frequently for the good of the project.

• This is a remote 1099 contract position and we expect to start with roughly 20 hours of work per week. However, we are growing rapidly and are interested in someone who’s eager to grow alongside us!

• Working hours are flexible (must be in U.S. timezones), but we do expect responses to communication via Slack, email, and Google calendar Monday through Friday, 9am - 5pm CST.

• Hourly rate will be commensurate with experience and shared prior to interview process.

About our team

• Our growing team is a mix of strategists, marketers, UX designers, and developers. We have a laid-back culture because we know we can count on our teammates to push themselves, meet deadlines, and respond proactively to communication. We have two offices — one just outside of Boston in Dedham, MA, and one just outside of Chicago in Evanston, IL.

• While this position is remote and we will consider domestic candidates throughout the U.S. who are willing to travel (expenses paid) to our offices at least once per quarter, we love seeing our teammates in the office so we can shake things up and collaborate off of Zoom, so preference will be given to candidates in the Boston or Chicago areas.
