UI/UX Designer Full-Time | Hybrid-Remote
UI/UX Designer Full-Time | Hybrid-Remote About Alternative Balance Alternative Balance is a professional membership organization supporting wellness, beauty, fitness, and alternative health professionals nationwide.

We're a values-driven, women & family-owned company that believes excellent service comes from clarity, integrity, and people who genuinely care. Our team is collaborative, detail-oriented, and deeply invested in delivering a 5-star member experience. Job Details We are looking for a UX/UI designer to join our team and elevate our design to the next level. The person who steps into this role will work closely with the technology manager to bring our design up to the same high standards as our technology. This will entail evolving our design systems, building out a design library, and participating in our development process to ensure our easy-to-use application stays that way as the complexity of our offerings grow. This role will both shape and execute design projects, which means pitching design decisions, documenting our designs, and collaborating with developers to help achieve our technology objectives. Therefore, the ideal candidate will need to be able to communicate "why" design choices are made, evaluate existing designs, and identify areas for improvement in addition to completing design assignments.

• Clean design removes more than it adds
• Effective design guides users so they "don't need to think"
• Design is an integral part of the development process
• Establishing a design system makes it easier to create great designs
• Design is iterative and strengthened by feedback

• A firm grasp of design tools (e.g., Figma, Penpot, Sketch)
• Experience conducting user interviews or surveys
• A basic understanding of HTML and CSS, or a willingness to learn
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Bonus points if you have experience within the health, beauty, and wellness industry, or have worked in insurance
Why You'll Like Working Here:
• Supportive, friendly, and collaborative team
• Clear expectations and well-defined processes
• Meaningful work helping small business owners feel protected and supported
• Opportunities to build insurance and professional service expertise
Compensation:
• $36-$48/hr depending on experience
Schedule & Benefits:
