• Adhere to email design best practices, including responsive layouts, accessibility compliance, content hierarchy, readability, and deliverability optimization.
• Partner with marketing stakeholders to comprehend campaign aims, incorporate feedback, and iterate based on performance data.
• Provide well-structured, production-ready Figma files with precise specifications to development teams.
• Enhance email design workflows by spotting opportunities for layout simplification, scalability improvements, and greater campaign success.

• Comprehensive understanding of email design constraints and best practices for major email clients, devices, and platforms.
• Proven ability to create emails that successfully balance creative direction with technical essentials such as image optimization, rendering consistency, spam prevention, and performance.
• Experience developing lightweight animations (e.g., GIFs) that enhance engagement while preserving deliverability.
• Capability to interpret campaign goals and analyze performance data to iteratively improve creative output.
• Strong attention to detail coupled with excellent organizational and communication skills.
• Ability to work autonomously, manage deadlines effectively, and collaborate productively with marketing and production teams.
• A portfolio demonstrating deep email design expertise is essential; candidates specializing mainly in web, product, or general branding design may not fit this role.

Benefits

• Competitive contract role starting with an initial three-month engagement, with potential for extension.
• Flexible remote work arrangement available throughout the United States.
• Chance to contribute significantly to a large-scale email program transformation from template redesign through sustainable campaign support.
• Work alongside experienced marketing and creative teams on impactful customer communication projects.
