UX/UI Designer

JENNY BIRD is a leading jewelry and lifestyle brand, on a mission to uplift and inspire through lightweight statement designs and our 1% giveback pledge. As a fast moving business with direct-to-consumer, wholesale and major department store channels, our cross-functional team embodies dynamic creativity and is ever-evolving. With everything we do, we keep our customer at the core. We value our partnerships, developing and strengthening our relationships with accounts.

The Opportunity

We are looking for a Junior UX/UI Designer to own the design and experience of our e-commerce site and app. This is a high-impact role at the intersection of creative design and digital strategy — the person in this seat is responsible for how our customers experience our brand online, from the moment they land on the homepage to the moment they check out.

You are a thoughtful, detail-oriented designer who thrives on solving user experience problems while maintaining a refined, on-brand aesthetic. You bring structure to ambiguity, move seamlessly between wireframes and production-ready files, and collaborate easily across teams. You take pride in designing experiences that are not just beautiful, but intuitive and conversion-driven.

This role reports directly to the Senior Digital Designer. You will work closely with them on design direction, creative reviews, and ensuring visual and experiential consistency across all digital touchpoints. The Senior Digital Designer will be your primary collaborator for feedback, mentorship, and escalation on complex design decisions.

Responsibilities

• Create engaging and effective homepage and collection layouts to support the marketing calendar and e-commerce KPIs (owning BAU content across site and app)
• Design and build wireframes, iterations, and prototypes of new site and app features
• Coordinate with E-commerce, Marketing, Creative, and Copy teams to ensure brand consistency across all channels
• Present site and app user experience to the broader marketing team during final asset reviews
• Collaborate with the developer to export site and app-friendly assets, ensure accurate design implementation, and QA projects from start to finish
• Communicate with tech partners to troubleshoot and resolve design-related issues and bugs
• Support in building, maintaining, and updating UI components in the site and app design system
• Regularly QA and update content on secondary webpages to deliver a holistic brand experience 

Qualifications

• 2 years of experience in UX/UI design, web design, or product design within a jewelry/fashion DTC brand or agency
• Proficiency in Figma—your files are clean, organized, and built for handoff
• Hands-on experience working within a CMS editor (Shopify preferred); you understand how design decisions translate to the platform
• Proficiency in Adobe Creative Cloud (familiarity with Illustrator and Photoshop is considered a strong asset)
• Comfort using AI generation tools to support and accelerate design workflows
• A strong understanding of UX principles, conversion-oriented design, and ecommerce best practices
• Experience designing within or contributing to a component-based design system
• Excellent communication and presentation skills—you can articulate design decisions clearly to cross-functional stakeholders
• Meticulous attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously without compromising quality
• Must be eligible to work in Canada

What Makes You Stand Out

• Experience at a DTC e-commerce brand: you understand how site design directly impacts revenue and retention
• You have a sharp eye for elevated, editorial aesthetics and understand the nuance of jewelry or fashion brand identity
• You work efficiently—your Figma files are structured, your exports are accurate the first time, and your QA is thorough
• You are proactive: you spot UX opportunities before they are raised and bring forward solutions, not just problems

Team Member Expectations

We are looking for a compassionate and reliable individual who will lead with empathy, inspire their teammates with a strong work ethic, and support the growth of their peers through establishing relationships built on trust and respect.

As a brand, we have seen incredible growth and success through our team’s proactiveness, curiosity, and desire to learn while building. We look for team members who embody these traits and have the confidence and comfortability to collaborate laterally, communicate ideas effectively, and support the company’s goals.
