POSITION SUMMARY

The Sr. Digital Experience Design Specialist is a hybrid designer who bridges product experience design, content design and visual communication. This role creates cohesive, consumer-centered front-end experiences across websites, applications and other digital touchpoints while ensuring that content, interaction and visual expression work together as one experience. The specialist brings in-depth UX/UI expertise and a strong eye for graphic design, messaging hierarchy and brand expression, translating traditional marketing ideas and assets into intuitive, accessible and high-performing digital experiences. Working closely with product, marketing, content and development partners, this role turns consumer needs and business goals into experiences that are useful, engaging, on-brand and feasible to build.

PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITIES

Experience Strategy and UX/UI Design Work on the end-to-end front-end experience for websites, applications, responsive and adaptive experiences and other connected digital touchpoints. Translate consumer needs, business requirements, brand objectives and content priorities into intuitive journeys, information architecture, interaction patterns and polished user interfaces. Create user flows, journey maps, wireframes, prototypes, page layouts and high-fidelity designs that clearly communicate experience and design intent as needed. Apply consumer empathy, research, analytics, KPIs and behavioral signals to identify opportunities, validate design decisions and continuously improve the experience. Rapidly iterate from concept through design handoff, balancing usability, visual quality, brand consistency, technical feasibility and speed to market. Content and Visual Design Bring a strong content design mindset to digital experiences, shaping page hierarchy, messaging flow, calls to action, labels and supporting content so consumers can quickly understand and act. Apply graphic design principles, including composition, typography, color, imagery and visual storytelling, to create compelling and cohesive digital experiences. Partner with marketing and creative teams to translate campaign concepts, marketing materials and brand assets into effective digital-first journeys. Assess the quality and fit of content and creative assets within the experience, recommending edits, adaptations or new approaches when needed. Ensure that UX, content and visual design decisions reinforce one another rather than operating as separate workstreams. Cross-Functional Work and Delivery Serve as a design team member across product, marketing, content, creative and development teams, championing consumer-centered problem solving. Utilize digital design standards, reusable patterns and experience guidelines, and support consistent adoption across teams and touchpoints. Collaborate with Product Owners, developers, marketers, content strategists and other partners to define visuals and content needs and product content priorities. Communicate effectively with digital product team members; understand front-end constraints and critical paths, and incorporate technical considerations into UX planning. Provide design support throughout development and execution, including design reviews and quality assurance for layout, responsive behavior, typography, interactions, accessibility and overall design integrity.
