UX/UI Designer – Consumer Media App Redesign

Location: Hybrid (Atlanta preferred, open to NYC or remote)
Contract Type: W2 Contract 
Duration: 6+ months, with potential to extend

About the Role

We’re partnering with a leading media company to embed a UX/UI Designer into their app team as they embark on a major consumer-facing app redesign. This is an opportunity to challenge the status quo, bring fresh design thinking, and shape the next generation of a high-visibility digital product.

The ideal candidate is visual-first, hands-on, and excited to rapidly explore, iterate, and present innovative design variations. You’ll work closely with cross-functional teams but will be trusted to drive your own creative ideas, not just follow the group consensus.

What You’ll Do

• Design consumer-facing digital experiences for a large-scale media app.

• Rapidly create multiple variations and prototypes to explore different approaches.

• Contribute to an existing design system, while challenging and pushing its boundaries when needed.

• Confidently present and articulate design decisions to stakeholders.

• Collaborate with product and engineering partners in a fast-moving, iterative environment.

• Focus primarily on visual design execution, rather than strategy or management.

What We’re Looking For

• 2–6 years of professional experience as a Product Designer, UX Designer, UI Designer, or Visual Designer.

• Proven experience designing for B2C / consumer-facing products, ideally in media, entertainment, streaming, or publishing.

• Strong visual design skills with a portfolio showcasing polished, production-ready work.

• Comfort working within a design system while questioning conventions to improve outcomes.

• Ability to thrive in an ambiguous, collaborative environment, producing results quickly.

• A self-starter with curiosity, adaptability, and hunger to learn and grow.

Nice-to-Haves

• Experience at media companies (broadcasting, streaming, digital publishing, entertainment, sports, news).

• Familiarity with app re-architecture or large-scale redesign projects.

• Experience collaborating with distributed or cross-location teams.

Why Join

This is a chance to make an immediate impact on a consumer-facing product seen by millions, while working in a culture that values experimentation and fresh perspectives. You’ll be embedded into a team that’s ready to rethink how a leading media brand engages its audience — and your work will be front and center.

The hourly pay range for this position (dependent on factors including but not limited to client requirements, experience, statutory considerations, and location) is $50.00 to $75.00hr.  Benefits available to full-time employees: medical, dental, vision, disability, life insurance, 401k and commuter benefits.
