Lead Product Designers at Viget will independently manage complex digital design projects while working with clients and development teams to create high-quality interfaces.
Viget is an independent digital agency that has been branding, designing, and building digital products and platforms since 1999. Senior Product Designers at Viget help our clients concept, design, and launch complex digital experiences and compelling products. Their work may include all aspects of the design process including research, explorations, prototyping, and visual design.
We often look to contract designers for opportunities where a client’s needs are more specialized, short-term, or urgent than we’re able to fill with our full-time team.
We are interested in connecting with senior- and lead-level designers who want to join our network of vetted prospective contractors. As client needs come on our radar, we’ll be able to reach out quickly to those who are a strong match. Most opportunities are staffed remotely.
Even if your current availability is limited, we encourage you to connect to be considered for future projects.
Contractors will need to:
- Independently drive large, complex projects from concept to completion
- Show expertise in interaction design and prototyping tools to communicate complex interactive design concepts.
- Design high-quality, thoughtful interfaces that balance function, aesthetics, and usability.
- Have experience working within an existing design system, deciding when to leverage pre-designed components and when there’s a need for new components.
- Be familiar with the possibilities and limitations of modern development approaches including web applications, client-side applications, and native mobile applications.
- Clearly communicate recommendations to clients and teammates and build alignment on product strategy, design, functionality, and usability.
- Enjoy working with agile development teams on software applications, and helping clients focus on realistic deliverables.
- Meet deadlines and be considerate of clients’ project budgets and timelines.
- Take pride in proactively listening, communicating, and collaborating exceptionally well.
Candidates should also:
- Have an online portfolio of work you can share with us.
- Have 5+ years of professional experience designing digital products.
- Be expert Figma users.
