Why this role exists Our Experience Design UI team is looking for a

Senior

UI designer to elevate the quality of our

“in-world” emails —bringing advanced visual craft, technical execution, and motion to production while ensuring compatibility across major email clients and alignment with platform/development constraints.

What you’ll do

Own the end-to-end design

of branded, “in-world” marketing emails—from concept and visual exploration to production-ready assets.

Build production-ready email UI

(componentized, responsive HTML/CSS or MJML) with

bulletproof compatibility

across Outlook, Gmail, Apple Mail, Yahoo, and mobile clients (Dark Mode, high-DPI, light/dark assets, image-off states).

Design tasteful motion

for email (animated GIF/APNG, CSS animation where supported, fallbacks where not) that enhances clarity and performance budgets.

Systematize the work:

establish a reusable

email design system

(tokens, components, specs) aligned to brand and development constraints.

Partner cross-functionally

with creative, copy, product/MarTech, and developers to ensure handoffs include specs, states, alt text, and documented fallbacks.

QA and iterate

using Litmus/Email on Acid—fix rendering edge cases, optimize assets, and validate accessibility.

Guardrails & governance:

maintain file size budgets, image ratios, fonts/fallbacks, and link/tracking standards (UTMs, analytics).

Continuously improve

via A/B learnings—translate insights into scalable patterns.

What you’ll bring

5+ years

in UI/visual design with

deep email craft

(portfolio showing complex, high-quality campaigns and code-accurate builds).

Mastery of

Figma

(components, variants, auto-layout) and

Adobe CC ; comfortable producing

production-ready HTML/CSS for email

or MJML.

Proven expertise in

cross-client rendering

(tables, hybrid/spongy techniques, media queries, MSO conditions, VML, Dark Mode).

Motion for email : creating performant animated assets with clear fallback strategies.

Strong grasp of

accessibility for email

(semantic structure, focus order, contrast, alt text, live-text over images).

Familiarity with

ESP constraints

and handoff to platforms (e.g., SFMC, Braze, Adobe Campaign, Iterable): content blocks, personalization tokens, and partials/snippets.

Excellent communication, documentation, and stakeholder management skills; able to

influence without direct authority .

Nice to have

Experience with

AMP for Email , Lottie-to-GIF workflows, or lightweight CSS animation strategies.

Knowledge of

design tokens

and component libraries shared across web/app/email.

Understanding of

data/privacy constraints

and platform limitations that impact design (e.g., image hosting, link wrapping, tracking).

How we’ll measure success

Rendering pass rate

across target clients and Dark Mode.

Design system adoption

(component reuse, fewer net-new templates).

Performance & quality

(load time, asset weight, accessibility checks).

Impact on engagement

(CTR/CTO where design changes are isolated via tests).

Work authorization:

Must be located in

HI, TX, NJ, CA, WA, or OR

due to contract requirements.

Portfolio required:

Please include examples of complex email designs, motion treatments, and (if available) code snippets or Litmus/EOA test captures.
