About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Own the Digital Experience End-to-End: Lead the full UX/UI process across all Niagen Bioscience web properties, from research and journey mapping through high-fidelity design, developer specs, QA, and post-launch iteration.
Optimize the User Journey: Analyze customer behavior to design frictionless, intuitive pathways across the site, focusing on product discovery, education, checkout flow, and subscription management.
Lead a CRO Program: Plan, design, and prioritize A/B tests across landing pages and key funnel steps. Analyze results across cohorts and turn learnings into a recurring optimization roadmap.
Elevate Brand Experience: Translate the Tru Niagen brand identity into a premium, cohesive digital experience. Ensure all web touchpoints visually communicate trust, science, and quality.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with e-commerce, growth marketing, and development teams to ensure designs are technically feasible, aligned with business goals, and optimized for conversion rate (CRO).
Graphic & Visual Design: Leverage your graphic design talents to create compelling digital assets, iconography, and visual elements that enhance the overall website aesthetic.
Collaborate with Creative to Produce Visual Assets: Working closely with the creative team to create digital assets, iconography, illustrations, and visual elements directly for the website.
Deep Knowledge with Shopify or Equivalent Ecommerce Platform: Design with a deep working knowledge of Shopify's architecture, theme system, and constraints. You should know what's achievable in-theme versus what requires custom development, and you should be comfortable making that tradeoff call.
