In this Contract role, reporting to the Creative Director, the Senior Designer, Web & Digital will create inspiring and engaging digital touchpoints that bring the Cohere brand to life online.

We are searching for a hands-on Designer who excels and has a track record in creating innovative, scalable digital experiences and who is skilled in web and digital design best practices. This is an exciting opportunity to work in a fast-paced, collaborative environment that values forward-thinking design and creativity.

In order to be considered for this contract role you must submit a portfolio or website link to your portfolio and/or any other relevant links to your work in your resume. Please provide viewable links and/or access instructions.

In this contract role you will:

  • Design and maintain digital design systems, templates, grid structures, and layout principles that align with the Cohere brand language across web platforms.

  • Deliver engaging and user-friendly digital experiences, including websites, landing pages, emails, and online campaigns.

  • Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams (Marketing, Product, Web) to ensure cohesive brand execution across all digital touchpoints.

  • Maintain and evolve Cohere’s digital presence, ensuring it delivers on our design and brand attributes and remains fresh, modern, and relevant across all platforms.

  • Translate business goals into compelling digital design solutions that are optimized for performance, accessibility, innovation, and SEO.

  • Continually innovate and introduce fresh approaches to enhance user experience and visual impact of Cohere’s digital assets.

This contract career opportunity may be a good match for you if you have:

  • 6-10 years of digital and web design experience, with a strong portfolio demonstrating proficiency in designing for web, email, social media, and other digital platforms.

  • Expertise in digital design fundamentals, including typography, color theory, grid systems, and layout principles.

  • Proven experience in designing and maintaining scalable design systems that work across multiple digital platforms.

  • Strong understanding of UX/UI principles and ability to apply them effectively in web and mobile design.

  • Hands-on knowledge of web development principles, processes, and boundaries, with the ability to create design assets that developers can efficiently execute.

  • Proficiency in design tools like Adobe Creative Suite, Figma, or similar tools plus the willingness and ability to adopt new tools as required.

  • Familiarity with HTML, CSS, and basic web development concepts (coding is not required, but an understanding of what is feasible and effective is essential).

  • Strong communication skills, including the ability to present and discuss your design rationale with stakeholders and team members in person or remotely.

  • Ability to work quickly through multiple iterations, while maintaining attention to detail and ensuring design solutions align with business goals and functional requirements.

  • Experience working in collaborative environments, with remote teams or in-person, and adapting to new tools and processes as needed.

If some of the above doesn’t line up perfectly with your experience, we still encourage you to apply! If you consider yourself a thoughtful worker, a lifelong learner, and a kind and playful team member, Cohere is the place for you.
