SENIOR DESIGNER

RALLY is seeking a Senior Designer to join our design team and help create compelling websites and digital experiences for organizations working on some of today’s most pressing social and political issues. You don’t need to be a front-end developer, but you should understand the grain of the web. You know how HTML and CSS shape the interfaces you design, how layouts respond across breakpoints, and how technical considerations, integrations, accessibility, and content structure influence design decisions. You’re equally comfortable thinking through a site map, refining a typography system, building a scalable Figma component library, and collaborating with developers to make sure the final site delivers on the design intent. This is a role for a collaborative, detail-oriented designer who can move comfortably between creative exploration and systematic thinking. You can present your work persuasively, explain the reasoning behind your decisions, manage your own work across multiple concurrent projects, and collaborate closely with strategists, communicators, developers, project managers, and fellow creatives.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Web & Visual Design Design thoughtful, visually compelling websites that translate client brands, strategies, and content into clear, engaging digital experiences, applying strong fundamentals in layout, typography, color, hierarchy, and visual accessibility. Create website designs from early visual exploration through high-fidelity execution, including page designs, wireframes, prototypes, and supporting web graphics. Build organized, scalable Figma files using components, Auto Layout, variables, shared styles, and reusable design systems. Create prototypes and interaction examples that clearly communicate functionality, responsive behavior, transitions, and web animation to clients and development teams. Prepare clear developer handoffs and collaborate with developers through implementation, including quality assurance across devices and screen sizes to ensure the final website reflects design intent. Contribute to website architecture and UX through sitemaps, navigation systems, wireframes, user flows, information hierarchy, and common interaction patterns. Apply web accessibility best practices and WCAG principles across visual design, content hierarchy, interactions, forms, focus states, and other interface decisions. Bring a foundational understanding of SEO, including metadata, semantic content structure, heading hierarchy, image alt text, internal linking, and how search engines crawl and interpret websites. Present design concepts and recommendations to clients with confidence, clearly and persuasively articulating the thinking behind design decisions and responding thoughtfully to feedback. Collaborate closely with strategists, communicators, project managers, designers, developers, and other interdisciplinary team members throughout the design and development process. Own and manage your workflow across multiple concurrent projects, communicating proactively about progress, timing, questions, and blockers while balancing project timelines, budgets, and scopes. Contribute to ongoing design and content updates for RALLY’s website as part of internal creative initiatives. Stay current on evolving web design, UX, accessibility, and technology practices while contributing ideas and improvements to RALLY’s creative processes and tools.
