Nacelle
Who we are:
Nacelle is revolutionizing eCommerce by combining cutting-edge AI technologies with unparalleled data integration to deliver personalized experiences for merchants. Our flagship product, Genesis, pulls data from various sources—product catalogs, brand voice documents, customer feedback, and marketing transcripts—to create deep context for AI models, generating highly relevant, real-time outputs.
The role:
We are seeking a talented UI/UX Designer to lead the design efforts for our go-to-market (GTM) strategy at Nacelle. The ideal candidate has a strong foundation in design principles, a passion for creating clean, user-centric interfaces, and the ability to articulate and implement designs that align with our product's vision. This role will focus on enhancing the overall user experience of our marketing materials, landing pages, sales enablement content, and other GTM assets.
Key responsibilities:
- Design Development:
- Create user interfaces for GTM assets such as landing pages, demos, and marketing collateral that reflect best practices in typography, spacing, alignment, and other visual design fundamentals.
- Collaborate with marketing, product, and sales teams to understand GTM goals and translate them into effective UI/UX solutions.
- Develop and maintain consistent design language across all GTM assets to ensure a cohesive brand experience.
- Typography and Layout Mastery:
- Select appropriate typography that enhances readability and aligns with brand identity.
- Ensure proper sizing, weight, and spacing to create a visually appealing and accessible design.
- Prototyping and Iteration:
- Create low- and high-fidelity prototypes to quickly communicate ideas and test design concepts.
- Iterate on designs based on feedback and data-driven insights to improve usability and engagement.
- User Experience Optimization:
- Ensure a seamless user experience by maintaining balance in spacing, alignment, and hierarchical structure of content.
- Utilize best practices in UI/UX to design layouts that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
- Collaboration and Communication:
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure that design concepts align with business goals and user needs.
- Effectively communicate design decisions and processes to non-design stakeholders, bridging the gap between design and business strategy.
Requirements:
- Proven experience (3-5 years) in UI/UX design, particularly in B2B SaaS platforms.
- Strong foundation in design fundamentals: typography, color theory, layout, grid systems, and visual hierarchy.
- Proficiency with design tools such as Figma, Sketch, Adobe XD, or similar software.
- Experience with creating responsive designs for web and mobile platforms.
- Familiarity with design systems and UI libraries to streamline processes and ensure consistency.
- Understanding of front-end development principles is a plus (HTML, CSS, JavaScript knowledge can be useful in communicating with developers).
- Strong attention to detail, especially in areas like spacing, alignment, and typography.
- Creative problem-solver who can translate business objectives into compelling user interfaces.
- Ability to work independently and take ownership of design projects from concept to completion.
Nice to have:
- Experience working in agile or fast-paced environments where design iteration is rapid.
- Knowledge of conversion optimization and how design impacts marketing and sales outcomes.
- Familiarity with A/B testing for UI components, using data to drive design decisions.
