Freelance Web/UX Designer

We're looking for a reliable freelance Web/UX Designer to support our team on an as-needed basis. In this freelance role, you'll be called on to support specific client projects and to help absorb overflow work when our internal team's capacity is stretched, such as during high-volume news cycles, launches, or when multiple client deadlines land at once. We're looking for someone who can jump in quickly, deliver quality work with minimal ramp-up time, and scale their involvement up or down as our needs shift.

  • Support the management and maintenance of the client website environment, including website design, configuration, updates, control/access monitoring, and archiving functions. 
  • Develop and manage the processes for requesting, creating, editing, publishing, and archiving web and digital content. 
  • Design all digital products and interfaces to meet Section 508 compliance and other client accessibility standards
  • Ensure designs support plain language principles for federal communications
  • Design mobile-first responsive experiences optimized across all device sizes
  • Create wireframes, prototypes, and design mockups for client review and stakeholder feedback
  • Develop and document design systems and component libraries for consistency and maintainability

Requirements

  • Must have a Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field and at least 5 years of experience. Alternatively, must have a Master’s degree in a relevant field and 3 years of experience.
  • U.S. citizenship is required with verbal and written fluency in English
  • Must be able to receive and maintain a federal security clearance (public trust level)
  • Familiarity with responsible AI principles and practices.

Desired Qualifications

  • Based in Washington, D.C for occasional onsite support.
  • Prior federal contracting experience is preferred. 
  • Experience in the energy sector preferred.
