About this role

What you’ll do

  • Design interactive data visualizations for the corporate website, primarily using Highcharts.
  • Design custom scroll-based animations, including scrubbed, triggered, and pinned scroll behaviors, along with parallax effects and microinteractions.
  • Create production-ready Figma designs at the client’s responsive breakpoints (1440, 1200, 992, 768, and 375px), using the client’s design system.
  • Build functional, inspectable prototypes in HTML/CSS/JavaScript or in tools such as Figma Make, Framer, or Webflow that clearly show scroll behavior and the entry and exit states for each scene.
  • Write clear animation specifications for engineering, documenting the motion system, trigger points, scene-by-scene start and end states, durations, scroll distances, and easing.
  • Partner with the client’s internal engineering team through handoff and implementation.
  • Help estimate project timelines and level of effort as the work takes shape.

What you bring

  • 5+ years of experience in interactive, motion, or web design, with a portfolio of live scroll-driven and interactive web experiences.
  • Strong front-end prototyping skills in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
  • Hands-on experience with web animation libraries such as GSAP/ScrollTrigger, or similar.
  • Experience designing interactive data visualizations or charts for the web.
  • Expert-level Figma skills and experience working within an established design system.
  • A solid understanding of performance-conscious and accessible animation, including reduced-motion preferences, frame rate, and layout stability.
  • Experience handing off motion work to engineering teams with clear, detailed documentation.
  • Comfort working independently and remotely on a flexible, project-based schedule.

Nice to have

  • Hands-on Highcharts experience or experience with other charting libraries (D3.js, Chart.js).
  • Experience with Lottie, Rive, or other web animation formats.
  • Experience with financial services, corporate, or investor-facing websites.
  • Experience prototyping in Figma Make, Framer, or Webflow interactions.
