From our solar-powered headquarters in Sacramento, we manufacture premium equipment that helps people feel better and move more freely . We're growing our marketing team and looking for a creative, sharp, strategically-minded UI/UX Product Designer to help shape how people experience Balanced Body online.

A note on the role:

this is a design role first and foremost — not software development. You'll own the end-to-end visual and interactive design of our digital products, from user research and wireframing through high-fidelity prototypes. You'll also handle final front-end implementation and visual customization in our CMS platforms (WordPress and Shopify) — but you won't be writing backend code. You'll report to the Marketing Manager and partner closely with our web development team, serving as the crucial link that turns your designs into flawless, functioning reality. What You'll Do Design Execution — Craft polished, high-fidelity mockups and interactive prototypes in Figma with clean user flows, strong visual hierarchy, and refined aesthetics. Ecommerce Experience Design — Design and optimize PDPs, collection pages, navigation, merchandising, and conversion-focused landing pages, meeting

Design Implementation — Manage the look and feel of our web properties, customizing responsive layouts in WordPress and Shopify to match approved Figma prototypes and design systems. Continuous UX Research — Run ongoing user research, usability testing, and heuristic evaluations to keep our platforms grounded in UX best practice. Cross-Functional Balancing — Act as creative consultant across marketing, development, and SEO — making agile adjustments without compromising design integrity.
