What is an accessibility design?

An Accessibility Design job focuses on creating digital and physical experiences that are usable by people of all abilities, including those with disabilities. This role involves applying accessibility guidelines (such as WCAG) to ensure websites, apps, and products are inclusive. Accessibility designers collaborate with UX/UI teams, developers, and stakeholders to identify and remove barriers. They may conduct user testing with assistive technologies and advocate for accessibility best practices. The goal is to create equitable and usable designs for diverse audiences.

What are the daily responsibilities of an accessibility design professional?

Professionals in Accessibility Design typically spend their days auditing digital products for accessibility, designing or updating interfaces to meet accessibility standards, and collaborating with developers to implement inclusive solutions. They may also conduct user testing with people who have a range of abilities, provide training or guidance to team members on accessibility best practices, and stay current on evolving legal requirements and design trends. Regular communication with cross-functional teams, such as product managers and engineers, is essential to ensure accessibility considerations are integrated throughout the project lifecycle. This collaborative and proactive approach helps create experiences that are accessible to all users.

What skills and qualifications are needed for accessibility design?

To thrive in Accessibility Design, you need a thorough understanding of accessibility standards (such as WCAG), user-centered design principles, and best practices for inclusive digital experiences, often backed by a degree in design, human-computer interaction, or related fields. Familiarity with tools like screen readers, accessibility testing software, and platforms such as Adobe XD or Figma is critical, and certifications like CPACC or Web Accessibility Specialist are highly valued. Strong collaboration, problem-solving, and advocacy skills help you effectively communicate the importance of accessibility and work with cross-functional teams. These skills ensure that digital products are usable by everyone, including people with disabilities, and comply with legal and ethical standards.

Job description

The Opportunity
This is a rare and high-impact opportunity to be the sole product designer on our team. You will be the architectural voice for our user experience and the creative force behind our product's visual identity. You won't just be executing tasks; you will be building the design discipline, establishing processes, and creating a scalable design system that will serve as the foundation for our product for years to come. Your work will directly influence our success and, by extension, the success of the thousands of non-profits and conscious brands we serve.
Who You Are
You are a seasoned product designer who thrives on ownership and ambiguity. You are as passionate about building elegant, user-centered interfaces as you are about constructing robust, scalable design systems. You are a strategic partner to Product and Engineering, capable of translating complex problems into simple, effective solutions. You are a self-starter who is eager to make your mark on a product with a profound mission.
Key Responsibilities
  • End-to-End Product Design: Lead the design process for key product initiatives-from discovery, user research, and wireframing to high-fidelity mockups, prototyping, and detailed hand-off to engineers.
  • Design System Architecture: Create, document, and maintain a comprehensive design system (from foundational elements to complex components) that ensures consistency, speeds up development, and scales with our product and team.
  • User Advocacy: Conduct user research and usability testing to gather insights, validate concepts, and ensure our product effectively solves the real-world problems of our users in the social impact space.
  • Strategic Partnership: Collaborate closely with the Product team, CTO, CEO, and Engineering leads to define the product roadmap, contribute to product strategy, and advocate for the user experience.
  • Foundational Build-out: Establish design best practices, tools, and workflows within the product team. You will set the standard for quality and efficiency in product development.
  • Website & Brand Stewardship: Take ownership of our public-facing Beam Impact website, built on Framer. You will be responsible for maintaining, updating, and designing new pages to support marketing campaigns, product launches, and brand initiatives.
  • Team Leadership & Mentorship: Provide guidance and creative direction to a junior integrations designer, helping them grow their skills and ensuring the quality and consistency of their work on embedded components and integration touchpoints.
  • Brand Stewardship: Maintain and evolve the Beam Impact brand identity, ensuring visual and experiential consistency across all product and marketing touchpoints.
  • Marketing & Sales Design: Create compelling marketing assets to drive growth, including sales decks, emails templates, case studies, social media content, and marketing assets.

Qualifications & Must-Haves
  • 5+ years of experience in product design with a focus on UI/UX for web and mobile applications
  • Proven track record designing for SaaS products, ideally in fast-paced or high-growth environments
  • Portfolio showcasing elegant, data-driven solutions to complex design challenges
  • Proficiency with modern design and prototyping tools (e.g., Figma, Sketch, Adobe XD) and expertise across responsive web and mobile
  • Deep understanding of technical constraints and opportunities, enabling close collaboration with engineers
  • Hands-on experience building and maintaining design systems and pattern libraries
  • Strong analytical mindset and experience using sales, product, or client data to inform design decisions
  • Experience leading end-to-end design for products or major feature initiatives
  • Expert knowledge of UI/UX best practices, accessibility standards, and user-centered design principles
  • Proven experience in creating and maintaining a design system from the ground up. You have a deep understanding of component-based design, tokens, and documentation.
  • Proven ability to manage and mentor junior design talent, providing constructive feedback and elevating the team's overall output.
  • Excellent communication and presentation skills, with the ability to articulate design decisions clearly and persuasively to technical and non-technical audiences.

Bonus Points (Nice-to-Haves)
  • Previous experience in the e-commerce or Martech sectors.
  • Experience working in a Series A/B/C startup environment.
  • Experience working within multi-product eco-systems
  • Familiarity with ecommerce and AB testing within AB testing
  • Familiarity with the Shopify ecosystem
  • Familiarity with accessibility design
  • Experience building decks for executive stakeholders
  • Hands-on experience maintaining a marketing website, preferably built on Framer (or a similar tool like Webflow).

What We Offer
  • Massive Impact: Your work will be foundational and highly visible, directly shaping our product and company culture.
  • Equity Ownership: Share in the success you help create.
  • Competitive Compensation:** A competitive salary and benefits package (including health, dental, vision, and 401k).
  • Flexible Work: A remote-friendly culture with a focus on outcomes.
