There is also potential for contract renewal for 2 - 3 months in the first half of 2026.

Reporting to the Head of Product Design & Customer Experience, you’ll bring high design craft, generalist skills across UX, UI, UXR, and content design, product thinking, and the ability to navigate a multi-stakeholder environment with minimal oversight. We need someone who can quickly understand context, make decisions, facilitate rapid experimentation and iteration cycles, and keep work moving toward outcomes.

This role could be a fit if you’re:

• A seasoned freelancer looking to add a new client
• Interested in mission aligned climate and social impact work with schedule flexibility
• Seeking a project with portfolio worthy UX strategy and complexity
  

What You’ll Do

• Synthesize qualitative and quantitative insights and turn business and user needs into high-craft design solutions.
• Partner closely with product, engineering, and research to test and iterate quickly.
• Handle stakeholder conversations and keep work moving without heavy oversight.
• Prepare production-ready design files, specs, and assets for development handoff.
• Document design decisions and outcomes and maintain a clear trail of work for continuity after the contract period.

Who You Are

• Senior or lead level product designer who can drop into ambiguity and deliver fast.
• Equally comfortable zooming out on problem statements and dropping into interface details.
• Strong communicator who keeps stakeholders aligned without slowing the work.
• Pragmatic, outcome-oriented, and able to balance user, tech, and business needs.
  

Core Qualifications

• 7+ years of experience in product design, including significant time in senior/lead-level roles.
• Portfolio showing complex product work and strategic design thinking.
• Ability to flex across UX, UI, content design, and UX research, and produce integrated solutions.
• Expertise facilitating collaborative design processes and managing stakeholder communication and alignment.
• Ability to self-manage a part-time schedule while working in tight collaboration with product and engineering partners. 
• Ability to work part-time (20–25 hours/week) within a flexible 9am - 5pm PST schedule.
• Must be located within the United States or Canada.

Preferred Qualifications

• Background working in 0 to 1, early-stage product development environments.
• Skilled with content design and web landing page design.
• Experience working with funnel conversion and split testing.
• Experience designing for behavior change and crafting high trust journeys that build confidence toward considered purchases or decisions.
• Experience working with distributed teams and async collaboration.
