Senior Web Designer in Liferay Latin America

Liferay, Inc. is a uniquely profitable B2B enterprise software company with 1,000 fiery-eyed employees all across Europe, the Americas, Middle East, and Asia. Our flagship product is the Liferay Digital Experience Platform, which companies like HP, Domino’s, and Airbus use to build customized experiences for their customers and employees. But we don’t just make awesome software, we are also fueled by a greater-than-profit vision. By building a vibrant business, making technology useful, and investing in communities, we make it possible for people to reach their full potential to serve others.
Establishing a strong design practice across Latin America is a high priority for our business. We’re looking for a Senior Web Designer with experience as a first-hire that can serve our customers and partners while simultaneously working with our existing teams based in the US and Brazil to continue cultivating a strong design culture there and beyond.

The Marketing team has plans to do an overhaul of liferay.com this year — you’ll make a serious impact at the company right off the bat! You’ll also be supporting all of our regional marketers as we continue to increase the level of self-service using the site-building features in our core product — Liferay DXP. This includes helping us take style.liferay.design to the next level! Those things should keep you pretty busy — but you don’t have to worry about getting bored, there’s always something to design for the web.

In addition to a solid foundation in design (typography, color, layout, etc) here is what you’ll need to succeed here:

1. Communication skills
   Arguably one of the most important skills a designer can have — excellent communication skills now more than ever, are a must. We work closely with multiple teams (marketers, developers, designers) in different locations around the world.
2. Eagerness to work with others
   You’re going to work with a lot of different business units — marketing, sales, support, human resources, customer success, and probably more. The ability to empathize, connect, and succeed with people who are different than you is critical.
3. Lead by serving
   This job will require working with multiple teams, competency in our products, and empowering others to create effective web experiences. While we don’t expect all of this on day one, we’d like to see that you’ve done something similar!

What will set you apart:

• Experience writing and maintaining brand guidelines for web
• A strong portfolio that demonstrates brand cohesively tied across pages & sites
• Yes, designers should code — if they want to
• Experience working with Marketing teams in large organizations
