About The Position

The client, a global alternative asset manager, is seeking a freelance interactive motion designer with front-end prototyping skills to bring its corporate website to life.

The work will be prototyped and handed off to the client’s in-house engineering team for production, with attention to responsive behavior, accessibility, and performance.

This is a remote, project-based contract engagement starting at 10–15 hours per week as needed, with flexibility to scale hours according to project workload. The client expects to grow the work in 2027. The role requires availability aligned with EST hours. The rate is $80–95 per hour, and the initial contract is three months.

• Hands-on experience with web animation libraries such as GSAP/ScrollTrigger or similar.
• Experience designing interactive data visualizations or charts for the web.
• Expert-level Figma skills and experience working within an established design system.
• Understanding of performance-conscious and accessible animation, including reduced-motion preferences, frame rate, and layout stability.
• Experience handing off motion work to engineering teams with clear, detailed documentation.

Responsibilities

• Create production-ready Figma designs at responsive breakpoints of 1440, 1200, 992, 768, and 375 pixels using the client’s design system.
• Build functional, inspectable prototypes in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript or tools such as Figma Make, Framer, or Webflow, showing scroll behavior and scene entry and exit states.
