UI Designer

When we first launched Veterans Advantage in 2001, we created our mission to deliver “greater respect, recognition and rewards for those who serve.” Today, as the voice of the Greater Military Community and a Public Benefit Corporation, we advocate for corporate partners to join us in creating value through connected commerce experiences, military verification, and offer content discovery. We’re driven to deliver outstanding digital experiences, advocacy, and exceptional value for our business partners and military community members. We embark on our mission to recognize all who have served, those who continue to serve, their families, and those who support them, through the creation of A Real Thank You.

Be growth-minded. Analyze and read everything. Don’t be afraid to ask questions. Never stop learning, whether it’s a skill, a marketplace, about the customer, the industry, the world. Share your knowledge with the team and encourage reflection.

Be empathetic. Recognize your fellow team members’ efforts. Respect different voices. Welcome unique points of view. Strive to understand, not just accept. Remain humble and champion each other.

Be fearlessly creative. Embrace autonomy, an entrepreneurial attitude, and risk-taking. Stand up for your scariest ideas. Disregard the way things have always been done in favor of the better, the bigger, and the downright best ways to get stuff done. Challenge the status quo. Make new things happen.

Be responsible. What you do is part of who you are. Own your decisions. Take action. Don’t set it and forget it. The ball is always in your court. Be accountable. You might not be the best person to fix everything but nothing is ever “not your problem.”

Be honest. Embed trust in everything you do. Work with integrity. Be trusted to do the right thing at the right time.

Be patient. There is no magic bullet. Keep focused on the goal. Resiliency is the key to achieving success one step at a time. Be persistent in achieving results.

Is branding and UI work a passion for you? Can you think beyond a logo and visualize a larger system? Do you excel in both brand and digital expression on a website? Do you value listening? Are you able to reframe challenges in communication as opportunities to connect? Are you comfortable with critique and opposing opinions? Do you value the power of good storytelling?

We rely on our UI Designer to do what everyone who isn’t a designer thinks all designers do. Pixels! They create beautiful masterpieces of color and depth. All while enforcing (and also shaping) our branding.

They work hand-in-hand with Product Designers, supporting their efforts to ship solutions.

While Product Designers take responsibility for the end-to-end product experience, UI Designers focus solely on visual quality.

Relevant Skills: interaction design, storytelling, branding, visual design, illustrations, mobile app design, logo design, icon design, typography, animations, color theory, wire framing, prototyping, accessibility.

We're not looking to see if you have a degree in design or many years of experience. Many of our teammates are self-taught. We're looking to see that you are a thoughtful designer and strategic thinker whose love of the craft goes beyond self expression.

Bonus points for applicants who have strong motion design capabilities.
