UI / Visual Designer

About the Company

Elevated Third is a global B2B digital agency and Drupal expert specializing in designing, building, and optimizing complex digital experiences that drive measurable growth for enterprise and mid-market clients. The team is remote-first, distributed across four U.S. time zones, and united by curiosity, candor, and a commitment to delivering results.

About the Role

We're seeking a senior UI/Visual Designer to own the visual design layer on our B2B web engagements in a part-time contract position (10-20 hours per week, flexible schedule). This role focuses on marketing sites, campaign pages, and lead-gen experiences for B2B SaaS and enterprise clients—not product design. You'll translate UX strategy and brand systems into high-fidelity web experiences, work closely with our UX strategist and front-end team, and use modern AI tools to compress production time so you can focus on strategic and craft decisions that move the needle. This is ideal for a dot-connector who can frame visual systems, hold their own in client conversations, and leverage AI as a force multiplier rather than just executing designs.

Responsibilities

• Own the visual design layer by translating UX wireframes and brand systems into high-fidelity web concepts, component libraries, and responsive layouts in Figma
• Set the visual direction, present design concepts to clients with strategic rationale, and defend decisions with confidence
• Build and document component systems, tokens, and states so front-end developers can ship fast without ambiguity
• Use AI tools (Figma AI, Claude, image generation, and others) to compress production time while maintaining craft standards
• Connect dots across the team by identifying when design decisions impact SEO, performance, accessibility, or conversion rates
• Maintain high craft standards in typography, layout, color, and micro-interaction details to ensure tight hand-offs and protect quality

Requirements

• 6+ years of UI/Visual Design experience, with at least 3 years designing B2B marketing sites or web platforms (not primarily app or product UI)
• Portfolio demonstrating high-fidelity web mockups, design system thinking, and confident brand interpretation
• Expert Figma proficiency, including auto-layout, variants, tokens, and component documentation
• Demonstrated AI-forward workflow with real client work examples using AI tools
• Comfort presenting and defending design decisions directly to clients
• Availability for 10-20 hours per week on a flexible, variable schedule aligned with U.S. business hours
• Authorization to work in the United States

Nice to Have

• Webflow or Framer proficiency
• Motion or micro-interaction design experience (Lottie, After Effects, Rive)
• Experience designing for Drupal, WordPress, or similar enterprise CMS workflows
• Working knowledge of WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility standards and performance-conscious design practices
• Public work, talks, or writing on design systems, AI in design, or B2B web strategy

Benefits & Perks

• Flexible schedule built on accountability, not seat time
• Smart, supportive team that takes craft seriously
• Real ownership over the visual layer of meaningful B2B web programs
• Hourly rate: $60-75/hour USD (exact compensation based on skills, experience, portfolio strength, and demonstrated AI fluency)
• Possibility of conversion to full-time hire based on performance and fit
