About This Opportunity
This is a proactive posting to help us build our network of talented contractors for anticipated project needs later this year. While we don’t have an active project for this role today, we expect opportunities to arise as our client and project needs evolve.
By applying, you’ll be considered for future contract and project-based opportunities that align with your skills, experience, and areas of expertise. Our Talent team will review your background and keep your information on hand, and we’ll reach out directly if an upcoming project looks like a strong match.
Because these opportunities are project-based, timing, scope, duration, and hours may vary depending on the specific engagement. For this type of work, we typically anticipate hourly rates in the range of $84-$127/hour, depending on the project scope, required expertise, and experience level. Specific project details and the applicable rate will be discussed with you when we connect about a potential opportunity.
About Our Team
Our Product Design team works closely with Method clients and team members – Product, Development, and QA – to conceptualize and craft seamless user experiences that support business objectives.
You will be involved in product strategy from the very beginning, offering your knowledge and unique expertise to help shape product direction and turn ideas and concepts into a workable design. You will produce wireframes, prototypes, style guides and hi-fidelity designs to explore, experiment and ultimately advocate for simple, elegant solutions to complex problems.
You must be able to balance pixel-perfect attention to detail with low-fidelity design choices. At Method, we firmly believe that user feedback and data evolve products. Meetings and presentations are necessary to build consensus and achieve buy-in, but working software is the ultimate validation of any single approach.
Qualifications:
- Experience leading the design efforts for one or more successful – successfully shipped or successfully downloaded – online or mobile products. You know great UX, and you can walk us through your portfolio and tell a compelling story about the hard decisions and compromises you had to make along the way.
- Strong understanding of HTML, Javascript, and CSS. You won’t necessarily be shipping production markup, styling, or code, but you see prototypes as just another means of communication. You aren’t scared of jumping into the command line, your editor of choice, or a chair next to one of our razor-sharp developers to make things happen.
- You understand why we have UI best practices, and you don’t try to reinvent dropdowns with each new project. You want the interface to look as polished as possible, but you also value a good hard deadline.
- Excellent communication skills with the ability to communicate persuasively across different audiences to diverse people at varying levels of an organization. You design it, you pitch it. Nobody hides behind project managers here.
- An insatiable curiosity and a constant drive to do and be better. You download new apps and take screenshots. You try out new design tools. You attend industry events. You do stuff on the side. You love what you do, want to be great at it, and know there’s always something new to learn.
