  • Review wireframes, concepts, and interaction models, offering technical input and usability recommendations to strengthen designs throughout development.

  • Define and improve site structure, page flow, navigation, and functional behavior to support both customer needs and business objectives.

  • Convert strategy, research findings, and user experience principles into responsive, scalable web interfaces and application features.

  • Coordinate with information systems and related teams to ensure web solutions align with company standards, governance expectations, and operational processes.

  • Support compliance-focused website practices by helping maintain auditable controls and legally sound digital experiences.

  • Monitor site enhancements and defects, troubleshoot issues, validate fixes, and participate in testing to maintain quality and performance.

  • Create documentation such as interaction diagrams, process flows, and architecture maps to communicate front-end solutions and technical direction.

  • Manage competing priorities effectively, identify areas that need deeper analysis, and deliver quality work within fast-moving project timelines.

Requirements

Requirements * Bachelor’s degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, Web Development, or a related field.

  • At least 3 years of experience designing and developing consumer-facing websites or digital interfaces.

  • Minimum of 3 years of hands-on experience with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

  • At least 3 years of web programming or software logic experience in front-end development environments.

  • Working knowledge of React.js and other modern front-end frameworks.

  • Experience using web design and development tools such as Dreamweaver and Adobe Photoshop.
