User Experience Designer

Overview

Arke is seeking a User Experience Designer to join our growing team. This role plays a critical part in translating complex business challenges into intuitive, impactful digital experiences. You’ll design responsive websites, portals, kiosks, mobile apps, eCommerce journeys, and CM-driven experiences, grounding every solution in strong UX principles and collaborating closely with creative and development teams in an iterative, agile environment.

If you’re passionate about making digital experiences simpler, smarter, and more human—especially as they evolve with AI and new interaction models—we’d love to hear from you. Strong communication and collaboration skills are essential, along with the ability to take initiative and contribute meaningfully across both internal teams and client engagements.

While this is a remote position, we do expect some in-office days to connect and collaborate.

Primary Responsibilities

• Conduct research to understand user behaviors, needs, and motivations through methods such as journey mapping, persona development, heuristic evaluations, and usability testing
• Support or participate in stakeholder interviews, workshops, UX audits (including AI-readiness evaluations), user testing and research synthesis
• Contribute to information architecture, including content hierarchies, structured content planning, and navigation strategy
• Create key UX deliverables such as user flows, journey maps, wireframes, sitemaps, and low- to mid-fidelity prototypes
• Contribute to the design of AI-informed experiences, including prompt journeys, GPT discovery flows, and conversational interfaces
• Design conversion-focused experiences, including eCommerce flows, PLPs/PDPs, and filtering or cart functionality
• Apply accessibility, mobile-responsiveness, and usability best practices across all deliverables
• Collaborate closely with creative, technical, and engagement teams to ensure alignment across strategy, design, and implementation
• Participate in evolving Arke’s UX practice, including contributing to internal standards, processes, and innovation initiatives

Experience & Skills

• Bachelor’s degree preferred, or equivalent experience in digital-first environments
• 3-6 years of experience designing digital experiences across platforms and devices
• Strong experience in wireframing, journey mapping, user flows, and prototyping
• Ability to interpret research, user testing, and behavioral data into practical UX solutions
• Working knowledge of Figma, Miro, or similar prototyping and collaboration tools
• Familiarity with HTML/CSS and responsive frameworks; understanding how designs translate into front-end development
• Exposure to CMS-driven experiences and structured content models
• Interest in emerging technologies and interfaces, including AI-enhanced or conversational experiences
• Bonus: Understanding of visual design fundamentals (typography, hierarchy, layout, grid systems)
