Unicorn Marketing Co. is looking for a Junior UX/UI Designer to join our creative, women-led team! If you’re passionate about designing intuitive, high-performing websites while diving into the technical side of UX, security, and SEO, this role is for you.
📍 Location: Remote (BC-based preferred)
🕒 Position Type: Contract / Part-time / Full-time (Flexible)
💰 Compensation: $25.00 – $30.00 per hour, based on experience and skill level
This role is for you if…
💡 You get great design—not just visually, but in how people experience it. You obsess over intuitive UX, seamless interactions, and making websites feel just right.
🌎 You love the idea of working with creatives and brands across North America—from small businesses in Vancouver to digital-first brands pushing boundaries.
💻 You’re excited to dive into Showit, Squarespace, WordPress, and Shopify—not just using them, but figuring out which platform works best for a brand’s needs.
🎨 You believe in creativity with a strategy—and you’re not afraid to push the boundaries while keeping accessibility, user flow, and security in mind.
🚀 You thrive in a flexible, remote-first environment where we meet virtually once a month but also make time for IRL meetups (because Zoom just isn’t the same).
