We are seeking an experienced Content Guest Experience UI Designer with a strong background in campaign design, headless CMS delivery, and AI-assisted building to turn marketing and commercial goals into digital experiences guests understand and act on. The successful candidate will work closely with cross-functional partners, including marketing, product, commercial, engineering, and analytics teams, to design, build, and ship landing pages, promotional and sales experiences, and reusable content modules across web, iOS, and Android.
This role is ideal for a hands-on, detail-oriented designer who doesn’t stop at mockups. You will take campaigns from concept through working delivery using Contentstack and a shared design system, and you will use AI tools as a core part of how you explore, build, and iterate, while staying accountable for inspecting, fixing, and validating everything they produce.
Contract Length: 12 Months
Pay: $49.50
- Partner with marketing, product, and commercial stakeholders to define the audience, the offer, and the action guests should take, and clarify gaps in the brief.
- Design compelling campaign experiences, including concepts, layouts, imagery, typography, and interactions that express each brand and drive action.
- Assemble pages and campaign variants in Contentstack using content models, reusable modules, references, and approved assets, accounting for content limits and responsive behavior.
- Apply shared components, semantic tokens, and brand themes from the design system, flagging gaps and contributing fixes rather than creating one-off styles.
- Use AI design and coding tools to create and iterate, supplying the right context and constraints, then inspecting, correcting, and validating the output.
- Develop and maintain versioned campaign specifications covering messaging, offer references, component mappings, channel differences, states, dates, and acceptance criteria.
- Design variations and states by audience, market, and promotional period, including default, unavailable, and expired states.
- Connect campaigns across the guest journey into booking, loyalty, account, and check-in, and validate presentation with web, iOS, and Android teams.
- Build in accessibility, covering structure, contrast, alt text, focus, text sizing, reflow, and motion, and test with appropriate tools.
- Validate what ships by reviewing real CMS previews and working prototypes, and partner with engineering through release, maintenance, and retirement.
- Work with analytics and experimentation partners to assess campaign performance and act on results.
- Contribute templates, patterns, specs, and AI instructions that others can use independently.
- Proven campaign and content design experience, turning briefs into polished digital experiences with strong visual storytelling, art direction, hierarchy, and typography.
- A portfolio of landing pages, promotions, or marketing experiences that explains design decisions, individual contribution, iteration, and measured outcomes. Product-only UX portfolios are not a strong fit.
- Hands-on experience shipping through a structured or headless CMS, preferably Contentstack (Contentful, Sanity, AEM, Sitecore, or Storyblok accepted), including content models, modular blocks, references, variants, and preview and publishing workflows. Candidates should be able to explain how a content model became a live page.
- Hands-on AI-assisted building experience: has built and modified a functioning interactive experience using tools such as Cursor, Claude, GitHub Copilot, v0, or Figma Make, and can explain the context supplied, how output was inspected, and what was fixed. Static AI-generated screens alone do not qualify.
- Practical design-system experience with component libraries, semantic and design tokens, multi-brand theming, and contribution processes (Storybook or similar documentation).
- Advanced proficiency in Figma, including components, variants, auto layout, variables, and prototyping.
- Working knowledge of HTML, CSS (responsive layout, flexbox, grid), JSON, and browser dev tools.
- Experience designing responsive, accessible experiences to WCAG 2.2 AA, including semantic structure, ARIA basics, and testing with axe, Lighthouse, and screen readers (VoiceOver, TalkBack).
- Awareness of Apple Human Interface Guidelines, Material Design, and platform-specific navigation and text sizing across web, native iOS, and native Android.
- Demonstrated use of research, analytics, or experimentation to improve a design and drive a business outcome.
- Excellent communication skills, including writing useful specs, explaining tradeoffs, taking critique well, and managing defined work independently.
Preferred
- Direct Contentstack experience, including structured authoring, reusable content types, and preview workflows.
- Campaign or promotional design experience in travel, e-commerce, marketplaces, or retail.
- Experience with multi-brand design systems, themes, audience variations, or campaign experimentation.
- Familiarity with Git and GitHub or GitLab pull request and review workflows.
- Familiarity with React or Next.js components, including reading and tweaking components.
- Experience with Adobe Analytics or Google Analytics, A/B testing tools (Optimizely, Adobe Target), and heatmap tools (Contentsquare, Hotjar).
- Experience with Jira, Confluence, Miro, or FigJam.

UI Designer Jobs in Washington: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a ui designer in Washington?
UI design in Washington has no state-issued license or registration requirement, so entry follows an experience and education path. Most Washington employers look for a degree in interaction design, visual communication, human-computer interaction, or a closely related field, though a strong portfolio can offset formal education. Seattle and Bellevue's dense tech sector means candidates who build experience with design systems and prototyping tools are consistently the strongest applicants.
How much do UI designers make in Washington?
UI designers in Washington earn a median of about $72,710 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $47,780 for the lowest 10% to over $115,210 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire ui designers in Washington?
Employers hiring ui designers in Washington right now include Amazon, Amazon Web Services, and Microsoft, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Washington's concentration of major technology headquarters and enterprise software companies makes it one of the most consistently active states for ui designer hiring year-round.
Which Washington cities have the most ui designer jobs?
The cities with the most ui designer openings in Washington are Seattle, Bellevue, and Redmond. Seattle dominates because of its headquarters-dense tech and e-commerce sector, while Bellevue and Redmond draw volume from large campuses like Microsoft and the broader Eastside corridor, making the greater Seattle metro the clear center of Washington's ui designer market.
Are there remote ui designer jobs in Washington?
Yes, and more than most fields. UI design is a desk-based, screen-driven discipline, so remote and hybrid arrangements are broadly compatible with the work. About 73% of ui designer openings tied to Washington are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting how normalized flexible work has become across Washington's technology sector. Research and stakeholder collaboration are the parts most likely to require some in-person presence.
How can I get hired as a ui designer in Washington with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is building a focused portfolio through personal projects, open-source contributions, or volunteer work with nonprofits before applying to associate or junior ui designer roles at Washington's mid-size product companies. Amazon and Microsoft both run university hire and rotational programs for early-career designers. Adjacent roles like UX researcher, visual designer, or marketing designer at Washington agencies are also common stepping stones, and completing a recognized interaction design certification strengthens any candidate without a traditional degree.
Where can I find and apply to ui designer jobs in Washington?
