Job description

We’re looking for a UI/UX Designer to design and optimize direct-to-consumer (D2C) online stores for some of the world’s leading artists and labels. You’ll help shape the way fans experience, interact and purchase from their favorite artists through beautifully crafted, high-performing e-commerce experiences.

You’ll be responsible for elevating the artists’ worlds, thinking like a superfan but with razor sharp digital design skills - translating music culture, brand identity, and merchandising into seamless, emotionally engaging online stores that drive sales and fan loyalty.

You’ll work closely with the wider design/motion teams to build out the ultimate fan experience and collaborate with store front developers and back end systems teams to push our sites and stores into better experience for our artist and consumers.

How you’ll CREATE:

  • Design and iterate on e-commerce experiences - from landing pages and product detail pages to checkout and campaign microsites - that bring artist brands to life.
  • Be able to present your ideas clearly and advocate for good interface and experience.
  • Create user flows, wireframes, prototypes, and high-fidelity designs that balance storytelling, usability, and conversion.
  • Collaborate with developers, merchandisers, and marketing teams to ensure pixel-perfect implementation and an exceptional end-to-end customer journey.
  • Use insights from analytics, A/B testing, and fan feedback to refine and optimize store performance.
  • Translate brand and album aesthetics into cohesive digital experiences aligned with campaign visuals and creative direction.
  • Advocate for best-in-class UX practices, accessibility, and responsive design across all digital touchpoints.
  • Work closely with developers to ensure the feasibility and implementation of design solutions.

Requirements

  • 3+ years of experience in UI/UX design, ideally in e-commerce, entertainment, or consumer brands.
  • Strong portfolio demonstrating responsive design, visual design systems, and UX problemsolving.
  • Excellent proficiency in Figma/prototyping tools and Adobe Creative Suite
  • Good working knowledge of Shopify and/or other D2C e-commerce platforms
  • Understanding of digital merchandising, conversion optimization, and checkout flow best practices.
  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced, campaign-driven environment with shifting priorities.
  • Experience designing for music artists, record labels, or fan-focused digital products.
  • Familiarity with HTML5, JS, CSS.
  • Passion for music, culture, and innovation., The actual base salary offered depends on a variety of factors, which may include, as applicable, the qualifications of the individual applicant for the position, years of relevant experience, specific and unique skills, level of education attained, certifications or other professional licenses held, and the location in which the applicant lives and/or from which they will be performing the job. All candidates are encouraged to apply. You must create an Indeed account before continuing to the company website to apply
