We’re looking for an experienced Shopify Designer with deep Shopify experience in a business environment to help design, optimize, and evolve multiple customer-facing e-commerce sites. This role is ideal for someone who has worked on production Shopify stores at scale, understands cross-functional collaboration, and knows how design decisions impact conversion, performance, and revenue. You’ll work closely with developers, product managers, marketing, and content teams to translate business requirements into polished, conversion-focused, user-centered Shopify experiences.

Responsibilities

Design and optimize UI experiences for multiple Shopify storefronts, ensuring consistency, scalability, and pixel-perfect execution across desktop, tablet, and mobile.
Create user flows, wireframes, and high-fidelity designs that support complex e-commerce journeys (navigation, PDPs, collections, checkout considerations).
Build interactive prototypes in Figma to communicate concepts, edge cases, and interactions to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Collaborate with developers to ensure designs are technically feasible within Shopify’s architecture, including theme customization and app integrations.
Partner with marketing to design high-impact landing pages, promotional templates, and reusable components.
