UX/UI Designer

The Opportunity

Pillar4 Media is seeking a UX/UI Designer to join its fast-growing team.

As a member of the Product team, you'll work closely with senior leadership and other team members to wireframe, design, and launch UX/UI improvements across channels and platforms to improve customer experience and conversion rate. We are also looking for someone with skills in graphic design and copyediting as many of our designers wear multiple hats and work across a variety of initiatives.

You'll work closely with our editorial, SEO, Product, and Web Developmemt teams to create best-in-class digital experiences for our users.

Pillar4's mission is to help people live healthier lives with access to trusted resources, in-depth product reviews, and supportive communities. Our vision is to build the #1 content and commerce engine connecting consumers directly to the best brands in all four pillars of health and wellness: sleep, fitness, nutrition, and mental health.

What You'll Be Doing

The UX/UI Designer will:

• Brainstorm, wireframe, and develop data-driven designs to create best-in-class digital experiences across commercial marketing funnels and channels, including organic search, social, display, and YouTube
• Collaborate with product owners, SEO specialists, web developers and editorial teams to understand user behavior and conversion journeys, and translate those insights into effective design structures and supporting visuals.
• Make smart UX design recommendations to improve on-site page conversion and revenue
• Create wireframes and page requirements to support new site launches or page template redesigns informed by our data and competitive research
• Apply user-centered design principles and practices, accessibility and web heuristics, and usability standards to all deliverables

What You Bring

• 3-5 years of UX/UI design experience
• Demonstrated knowledge of UX design principles and strategies
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• A sharp eye for detail and a love for pixel-perfect designs
• Proven ability to juggle multiple projects at once and self-direct timelines
• Familiarity working in a challenging, fast-paced environment

While we're looking for specific experiences and skill sets, nothing is more important than a strong can-do attitude, resilience in the face of change and uncertainty, and a passion for learning and creating.

What We Look For

• Openness to feedback and collaboration: You'll be working closely with folks across different teams, so you'll need to be open to the process and accepting of feedback and critique.
• Strong communication skills: You'll have the ability to build relationships with external stakeholders, report up to internal stakeholders, and foster strong alignment with your team.
• Alignment with Pillar4's culture: We live by our values and expect our team to buy in.
  • Act with focus
  • Get after it
  • Grow without limits
  • Build the team
  • Obsess Over Customers
  • Commit to Service
• Entrepreneurial spirit: Our team members act like entrepreneurs in that we are incredibly driven, agile, and goal-oriented, and are always up for a challenge. We thrive in ambiguity and don't need a playbook to achieve excellence.

• Stability: We are privately owned, have a holding period of 'forever,' and have significant cash to invest.
