Senior Shopify UI Designer wanted to join our dynamic Customer Experience team.

The opportunity:

We are looking for a highly experienced Senior UI Designer with strong Shopify expertise to support a fast-paced eCommerce replatform project. This role is focused on delivering high-quality, production-ready UI that aligns to Shopify capabilities, accelerates delivery, and ensures a seamless transition from the existing platform.

You will play a key role in translating approved UX and business requirements into scalable, conversion-focused UI, working across Shopify’s modular architecture while maintaining a high bar for design quality. This is a hands- on role requiring both speed and precision, with a strong understanding of how design decisions impact build, performance, and commercial outcomes.

Please bear in mind that this is a 4 week remote contract.

What you’ll be doing:

Lead the UI design workstream for a Shopify replatform, translating UX outputs and requirements into high-quality, production-ready designs
Apply meticulous attention to detail across all UI deliverables, ensuring consistency in layout, spacing, typography, interaction states, and responsive behaviour
Design and refine key eCommerce templates and experiences, including homepage, PLP, PDP, cart, and checkout, with a strong focus on usability, merchandising, and conversion
Work closely with developers to ensure designs are feasible within Shopify (Liquid, themes, sections/blocks, and app integrations) and optimised for efficient implementation
Adapt and evolve design systems to align with Shopify’s modular architecture (templates, sections, and blocks), ensuring components are reusable, scalable, and intuitive to manage within the theme editor
Design with both end users and internal merchant teams in mind, balancing flexibility and control to ensure the site is not only visually strong, but also usable and maintainable post-launch
Confidently flex between rapid iteration and high-fidelity execution, delivering polished UI at pace without compromising quality
Produce clear, structured design documentation and handover assets, including component behaviour, states, and responsive logic, to enable efficient development and reduce ambiguity
Collaborate with cross-functional teams and stakeholders, aligning on UI direction, managing feedback, and ensuring delivery against tight timelines
Create supporting visual assets and prototypes (e.g. stakeholder presentations, research artefacts, release visuals) to aid alignment, communication, and validation
