About the opportunity

Contentful is looking for a UI Designer (f/m/d) to join our growing Website Team. In this role you’ll support the evolution of the visual and interactive experience of our website, optimizing user journeys and conversion on Contentful.com. You’ll be part of a high-performing, cross-functional team led by the Director of Web Marketing and composed of designers and developers who work collaboratively to conceive, design, test and implement UX and performance-enhancing features for our marketing website.

While working primarily on experiences on Contentful.com, you will also have the opportunity to work with designers across the company, including UX researchers, and product and brand designers, with a goal of creating a holistic UX across all Contentful digital touchpoints.

What to expect

• Create persona-driven experiences on Contentful.com, the face of our brand and the core of our demand generation engine. You will work to improve the user journey for our customers and prospective customers, and encourage specific behaviors that bring value to them and to Contentful.
• Contribute to the evolution of the website design system, helping to create engaging, user-centered experiences and evangelizing UX best practices amongst team members and stakeholders.

• Contribute to design projects from discovery to delivery, practicing and propagating agile processes in collaboration with developers and content creators.
• Work in an iterative process to meet team deadlines while also producing a high quality of work, meeting business and user needs while not necessarily requiring perfection at every stage.
• Help to build a data-driven UX design practice that puts A/B testing, user journey mapping and analytics at the forefront of your team’s work. You are able to interpret web data to improve experiences and outcomes such as conversion and engagement rates.

What you need to be successful

• Experience contributing to A/B testing plans and strategies and applying them in ways that increase website engagement and conversion
• Experience working within an environment where coordination between roles is imperative
• Proficiency in design and prototyping tools such as InVision, Sketch, Photoshop, Illustrator, etc.
• Experience using A/B testing tools (e.g., Optimizely)
