Job description

About Us

We’re scaling rapidly and have a growing pipeline of opportunities that demand exceptional talent across disciplines. Our mission is to bring on individuals — from creative producers to technical experts to entrepreneurial leaders — who can help us realize this next chapter of growth.

Our team of creators, builders, and investors specializes in marketing, technology, artificial intelligence, and business—so people with big ideas can expand their agency and live lives they find meaningful.

We partner with organizations of all sizes to explore, design, and implement AI strategies that are secure, scalable, and human-centered. From advisory and tooling to implementation and education, we meet clients where they are and help them integrate AI in ways that align with their mission and values.

At Human Agency, we believe AI should amplify human potential—not replace it. Our goal is to empower teams to work smarter, move faster, and unlock new possibilities through thoughtful, responsible innovation.

Role Overview

The Senior UI/UX Designer will lead end-to-end product and web experience design across research, strategy, interaction, and visual execution. You’ll collaborate with product, engineering, and marketing to solve complex problems, elevate usability, ship production-ready interfaces, and steward our brand and design system. This role suits a craft-obsessed designer who moves from insight to elegant, shippable UI—and communicates clearly with technical and non-technical partners.

This is an international independent contractor role, open to candidates based in Canada or Latin America to better align with U.S. time zones and operational needs. You will be engaged as an independent contractor and not as an employee of Human Agency. You are responsible for managing your own taxes, benefits, and compliance with local regulations. This engagement does not create an employer–employee relationship under applicable law.

Responsibilities

Product & Experience Design

• Own information architecture, interaction design, and UI for client websites, web apps.
• Design detailed user flows, wireframes, and high-fidelity interfaces for testing and developer handoff.
• Create, test, and refine prototypes of varying fidelity; partner with engineering to visually QA UI through implementation.

Website Design & Delivery

• Lead end-to-end website experiences (marketing and product/microsites): structure, UX, responsive UI, basic knowledge of SEO and web performance, and accessibility.

Brand & Design Language Systems

• Translate brand strategy into systematized UI: typography, color, grids, motion, and component patterns.
• Maintain and evolve our design system and documentation to ensure consistency across products and web.

Research & UX Strategy

• Plan and conduct interviews, surveys, and usability tests; synthesize insights into clear problem statements, opportunity areas, and prioritized roadmaps.
• Define success metrics and incorporate findings into iterative design cycles.
• Be able to take research, raw information, and organize it into client-facing presentations, decks, and create clear stories to walk clients through your findings with recommendations

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Work with product, engineering, and client-facing teams to define objectives, user journeys, and visual specs; communicate design vision and product strategy across the organization.
• Take ownership of systems; champion accessible, performant, and customer-obsessed design.

Experience & Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience combining solid visual (UI) and experience (UX) design skills.
• Online portfolio showing experience designing consumer-facing experiences for web and mobile.
• Expert-level proficiency with the Figma suite (Design, FigJam, Slides, Make), modern prototyping tools and Adobe Creative Cloud.
• Experience creating, managing and evolving design‑systems
• Proven ability in UX thinking and research; committed to solving real user problems and delivering intuitive, accessible experiences.
• Strong knowledge of user-centric design principles along with web and mobile design standards and best practices.
• Experience working in agile, cross‑functional teams
• Strong communication and collaboration skills in English.
• Bonus: startup experience; knowledge of SEO basics, web optimization and accessibility standards; curious/knowledgeable about GenAI and how to incorporate it into your design workflows. Experience mentoring other designers or establishing team processes.
