The position establishes and advances UX/UI standards, accessible design practices, reusable design systems, and digital experience patterns across CRF Digital properties. The UX/UI Lead Designer partners closely with Digital Leads (Online News & Editorial, Business Development, Digital Development, Digital Marketing), AD of Creative Services & team, and other Marketing stakeholders across different CRF divisions to translate organizational objectives, audience needs, content requirements, and brand standards into high-quality digital solutions. 

The role leads design discovery, information architecture, interaction design, wireframing, prototyping, visual design, usability evaluation, and design quality assurance. The UX/UI Lead Designer is expected to provide strategic design direction, influence cross-functional decision-making, and ensure that accessibility is embedded throughout the design and delivery lifecycle.

ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Serve as the lead UX/UI design authority for CRF Digital, setting standards for user experience, interface design, interaction patterns, visual consistency, responsive design, and accessible digital experiences. 
  • Lead and champion digital accessibility across CRF Digital properties. Ensure that UX/UI designs, reusable components, web experiences, and email communications are designed to meet or exceed WCAG 2.1/2.2 Level AA requirements and applicable ADA-related digital accessibility standards. 
  • Establish, maintain, and evolve a scalable design system and component library, including design tokens, reusable components, interaction patterns, accessibility requirements, documentation, and governance processes. 
  • Embed accessibility requirements into design systems, design specifications, prototypes, acceptance criteria, and quality-assurance processes, including requirements for color contrast, typography, keyboard navigation, focus states, semantic structure, headings, form controls, error handling, alternative text, captions, and screen-reader usability. 
  • Provide strategic design direction and hands-on execution from discovery through launch, ensuring that digital solutions align with CRF brand standards, business objectives, user needs, and technical constraints. 
  • Lead or coordinate accessibility reviews, document findings and remediation recommendations, and partner with development teams to validate accessible implementation through automated tools, keyboard testing, browser accessibility inspectors, and assistive-technology testing. 
  • Lead the UX/UI design process for complex and high-priority initiatives, including stakeholder discovery, requirements definition, user flows, journey maps, information architecture, wireframes, interactive prototypes, high-fidelity visual design, and developer handoff. 
  • Serve as a resource to internal teams on accessibility standards, inclusive-design principles, and practical approaches for creating accessible digital content and experiences. 
  • Partner with AD of Creative Services to ensure consistent application and evolution of CRF brand standards across websites, digital products, email communications, campaigns, and other digital touchpoints. 
  • Define and promote effective design workflows, review processes, file-management standards, design documentation, and quality-control practices that improve consistency, scalability, efficiency, and on-time delivery. 
  • Provide design critique, constructive feedback, and subject-matter guidance to internal colleagues, contractors, agencies, and other project contributors. 
  • Collaborate with project stakeholders to identify design risks, define success criteria, prioritize work, manage competing project needs, and recommend practical solutions. 
  • Use qualitative and quantitative inputs—including user feedback, usability findings, web analytics, conversion data, and accessibility audits—to identify opportunities and lead iterative experience improvements. 
  • Champion inclusive and accessible design practices throughout planning, design, implementation, testing, and quality assurance. 
  • Attend CRF-sponsored and related conferences or meetings, where applicable. 
  • Additional duties as assigned. 

QUALIFICATIONS

  • Bachelor’s degree in UX/UI Design, Interaction Design, Human-Computer Interaction, Graphic Design, Digital Media, Web Design, Computer Science, or a related field; an equivalent combination of education, relevant professional experience, and demonstrated portfolio work may be considered.

  • Demonstrated experience leading end-to-end UX/UI design work for responsive websites, mobile experiences, landing pages, web applications, digital products, and/or HTML email campaigns. 
  • A current online portfolio is required with application submission. The portfolio must demonstrate a range of relevant UX/UI design work and clearly communicate the candidate’s individual role and contributions. Portfolio case studies should include examples of problem definition, user flows, information architecture, wireframes, prototypes, visual/interface design, responsive design, accessibility considerations, design-system or component-based work, and delivered or implemented experiences. 
  • Demonstrated professional expertise in digital accessibility, including the application of WCAG 2.1 or 2.2 Level AA standards, ADA-related digital accessibility practices, and inclusive-design principles. 
  • Experience establishing, contributing to, or governing a design system, component library, or reusable UI pattern library. 
  • Experience working in a collaborative, cross-functional environment with front-end and back-end developers, marketing and creative teams, editorial/content teams, project managers, business stakeholders, vendors, and/or external agencies.

Familiarity with JavaScript, front-end frameworks, and CMS platforms is preferred. 
  • Demonstrated ability to create clear developer-ready documentation, including design specifications, annotations, interaction details, responsive behavior, component states, assets, and accessibility acceptance criteria. 
  • Proven ability to establish design standards, manage multiple concurrent initiatives, facilitate design reviews, articulate design rationale, and influence stakeholders at varying levels of technical and design knowledge. 
  • Excellent written, verbal, visual, presentation, organization, and project-management skills, with strong attention to quality, consistency, brand stewardship, and detail.
