About Us Olly Olly is a leader in digital marketing, specializing in local SEO and Google Business Profile (GBP) optimization. We empower small businesses, often in service-based and home service industries, to dominate their local markets. Alongside our bespoke marketing services, we offer a powerful SaaS platform that helps clients manage their social media, protect their online presence, and gain deep insights through reports and heatmaps. We are a high-growth, high-volume company with an obsession for quality. Our internal teams are built for rapid, high-quality production, consistently launching new, fully-optimized client websites at a pace that sets us apart. We're hiring a top-tier designer to revolutionize the visual and functional foundation of this critical product. A quick note: This role is not on our SaaS product team. This is a high-impact creative role focused on our client-facing web experiences and our main corporate brand. The Mission We're not looking for just any designer. We're looking for a UX/UI visionary to spearhead the design and define the standard of excellence for our client web division. Your primary responsibility will be to design and conceptualize a new portfolio of "jaw-dropping," industry-leading web experiences. These designs will set the creative benchmark for all our client projects, ensuring they are not only visually stunning but are also powerful, high-converting tools. You will be the lead architect of our client-facing web experience, directly influencing the conversion rates and brand perception of thousands of small businesses, as well as maintaining the polished look of our own corporate site. Key Responsibilities Scalable Theme Architecture: Spearhead the end-to-end design of a modular, scalable, and highly customizable website theme system (primarily for WordPress).

Every design choice must be purposeful, driving visitors toward conversion. SEO & Performance by Design: Integrate SEO best practices, site speed principles, and accessibility (ADA) standards into the core of the theme system. Production-First Thinking: Design themes that are intuitive for our internal teams through a flexible and powerful system of modular blocks and layout options. Your system must make their processes seamless, efficient, and error-proof. Company Website Ownership: Maintain and elevate our main corporate website. Design and implement new features, high-impact landing pages, and improvements that reinforce our position as an industry leader. Iteration & Improvement: Use data, competitor analysis, and design trends to continuously iterate and improve our themes' effectiveness, aesthetics, and usability. What Makes You the Right Fit? This is a senior role, and we have high expectations. The ideal candidate will live at the intersection of breathtaking visual design and rigorous systems-level thinking.

A world-class portfolio that must demonstrate: Experience building scalable design systems (component libraries, style guides). Evidence of multi-site, multi-brand, or theme-based web design. A strong foundation in conversion-centered design (CRO) and data-driven decisions.

You can articulate and defend design decisions to leadership and provide crystal-clear documentation for production teams. A pixel-perfect, meticulous attention to detail. A foundational understanding of on-page SEO principles.
