As a member of our growing design team, the Senior UX Designer will work closely with other designers, producers, developers, and clients throughout the project lifecycle, enabling us and our clients to deliver effective, human-centered solutions. The ideal candidate contributes to multiple areas of the UX design process, such as research, analysis, information architecture, content strategy, concept development, interaction design, UI design, or accessibility, with deeper expertise in one or two areas of choice. They should also be ready to engage in planning, coaching/mentorship, and facilitation of design as a team-driven process.

The Design Team at Last Call Media’s highest priority is making sure the experiences we build are effective for the audiences they’re built for. This human-centered approach necessitates thoughtful research and an empathetic approach toward users as well as clients and colleagues.

At Last Call Media, we like to do work with purpose--much of our work is for government, higher education, and nonprofit clients, most often improving or redesigning their web experiences. We also work with commercial clients, and on web applications and internal products.

As a fully remote company, we welcome applicants from any country or location.
