Role Description
As Cro Metrics continues to scale its integrated growth marketing services, the Design team is expanding to meet rising demand across CRO experimentation, website design and development, lifecycle marketing, and paid media. This is part of a strategic hiring plan to bring on reliable, high-quality design talent that can operate with consistency and speed across our full service offering and strengthen our creative, strategic, and technical design capabilities.
We're hiring designers at two levels:
-
Production & Execution
— an execution-focused role for designers who translate hypotheses and creative direction into polished, pixel-perfect deliverables, on time and on budget.
-
Senior, Strategic & Client-Facing
— a strategic and technical role for designers who own both the thinking and the execution: shaping UX strategy and design systems, presenting to clients, and producing high-fidelity work across our service lines.
You don't need to choose which one to apply for. Apply once, and we'll calibrate the right level and fit together throughout the interview process based on your experience, portfolio, and how you work.
Both are long-term fractional contractor roles. Most contractors stay on contract. The relationship is designed to be sustainable at part-time hours. Conversion to full-time employment happens selectively when there's a clear business need and mutual interest. Either way, we're looking for someone we can build with long-term.
Qualifications
-
Experience in UI/UX design, digital production design, or a similar role (2–4 years for the Production level; see below for Senior).
-
Strong Figma proficiency — fast, organized, clean, well-structured files with proper components, auto-layout, and naming conventions.
-
A portfolio demonstrating production-quality work across web, email, and paid media — craft, consistency, and range.
-
Comfort working within existing brand systems and constraints rather than always designing from scratch.
-
Experience with conversion-focused design — landing pages, user flows, experiment variations, or similar.
-
Comfort letting data guide design choices — you understand that at an experiment-led agency, results and evidence inform the work.
-
Ability to manage volume across multiple concurrent deliverables, clients, and channels without quality dipping.
-
Strong attention to detail — pixel-perfect output, consistent spacing, correct typography, adherence to specs and design systems.
-
Clear communication — you ask thoughtful questions, flag issues early, and keep stakeholders informed.
-
Receptive to feedback — you take critique well, and actively seek it out to sharpen your work and close the loop with strategists, clients, and peers.
-
Self-directed and reliable — you manage your time well, meet deadlines, and don't need to be micromanaged.
Requirements
-
At the senior level, 5–8+ years in UX/UI design, product design, or a senior role blending strategic thinking with hands-on craft.
-
A portfolio that shows how you think, not just what you make — research insights, strategic framing, multiple explorations, rationale, and outcomes.
-
Proven experience leading design on complex, multi-stakeholder projects (website redesigns, product strategy, or multi-channel experience design).
-
Design systems expertise — you've built, maintained, or significantly contributed to scalable design systems.
-
Strong technical design fluency — front-end constraints, responsive design, accessibility (WCAG), and productive working conversations with engineers.
-
Client-facing confidence — present concepts, explain reasoning, handle feedback gracefully, and build trust with senior stakeholders.
-
Experience with data-informed design — comfortable using analytics, experiment results, and user research to guide decisions.
-
Advanced Figma — components, variables, auto-layout, prototyping, and design tokens.
-
A clear point of view on where AI-powered design is headed, backed by integration into your own practice.
Benefits
-
Paid evaluation period during the first 5–10 business days.
-
Flexible work hours designed to be sustainable at part-time hours.
-
Opportunity for long-term collaboration and potential conversion to full-time employment based on mutual interest.
