Senior Designer // UI/Visual Design (Contract)

This role is for our contract pool. We qualify freelance designers and find the right projects for their skills.

At Grand Studio, our teams collaborate to explore digital products and services in a consulting environment. At our studio, not only do our designers, both full-time and contract, contribute to the success of client projects, everyone is invited to help build our culture and design practice with us. That means we look for people who care about their craft, care about their teammates, and most importantly, care about humanity.

Our Senior Designers are passionate about finding the right design methodologies to craft unique approaches to challenging client projects. They help project teams with everything from uncovering actionable insights around customers to designing the most compelling digital products and services grounded in user value. They are versatile to help determine project strategy, mentor teammates, and create client deliverables. 

We invite you to be a part of the journey of evolving a consultancy fit for designers, built by designers.

A great Senior Research Designer at Grand Studio often has...

  • Professional design experience (consulting/agency experience is extra handy)
  • A rich understanding of the end-to-end design process and evidence of using appropriate methods to inform a visual design system
  • Experience in communicating with technology teams and other stakeholder groups
  • Comfort in crafting new visual language or extending an existing design system
  • Comfortable in delivering production-ready specifications for technology
  • The drive and autonomy to work well independently in a remote environment (at least for now!) but also an ease for communication and collaboration during team working sessions

What you can expect from us…

  • Collaborative and supportive environment 
  • Staffed 100% to a project for the duration of the contract
  • Ability to flex within focus areas and build new skills
  • Exploration of all avenues of human-centered design
  • Potential to move to a full-time role within the first three months
  • Remote friendly events, team and office lunches, and celebrations
