About the Role
As Webflow Developer, you will work within Creative Services to help develop new digital brands.

Working in collaboration with your teammates in Creative Services, you will take each brand from the germ of an idea to a product ready for development.
Our ideal candidate has the ability to design exciting websites and email templates for a variety of audiences and can translate abstract concepts into clean and understandable experiences. They grasp both the opportunities and limitations email presents. They are well-versed in Figma, Webflow, and WordPress and they know how to create intuitive products with those tools.
This is a remote position, but we would prefer a candidate based near one of our team hubs in Southern California, Denver, or New York.
Accountabilities
- Website Development: This role will own both the rapid prototyping and the wireframing (both lo-fi and hi-fi) of brand websites, working closely with teammates in Creative Services to bring a visual identity and mission to life.

- Brand Ideation: All members of Creative Services play a role in the ideation process and are encouraged to seek out inspiration to help advance the types of brands we build
- Email Development: Email is key to all the brands we develop. This role will use the brand guidelines and visual assets produced along with a keen understanding of email development limitations to create attractive, engaging, and intuitive email newsletters for every brand.
