Senior Ux/Ui Designer

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). - Visual Excellence & Conversion: Create a portfolio of visually diverse, industry-leading themes that are modern, professional, and tailored to our clients' industries. 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. Must-Haves: - 7+ years of professional UX/UI design experience, with a heavy focus on web design (not just mobile/app design). - 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. - Expert-level proficiency in Figma, - Deep understanding of WordPress architecture, page builders (e.G., Gutenberg/Block Editor), and the technical constraints of a CMS. - Mastery of user-centered design (UCD), responsive design, typography, and color theory. - Pragmatic understanding of front-end technologies (HTML, CSS) and how they influence design. You don't need to be a developer, but you must know how to design for one. - Exceptional communication skills. 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. Bonus Points (Nice-to-Haves): - Experience designing for small businesses or "blue-collar" service industries (plumbers, electricians, contractors, etc.). - Experience with heatmap and user session recording tools.
