From independent designers and creative agencies to Fortune 500 companies, millions worldwide use Webflow to be more nimble, creative, and collaborative. It’s the web, made better.

We’re looking for a Senior Designer, Community, who shares our passion for design and our mission to inspire and incentivize people to learn web design and development. As the Senior Designer, Community, you’ll be responsible for designing, scaling, and leading design systems that empower our internal team and external community leaders to produce recognizable and impactful content that drives adoption for Webflow.

We’re looking for a highly collaborative designer with a high degree of Webflow knowledge to drive work and advocate for excellent brand storytelling and design craft together with our design team. This role will report to the manager of the Education & Community design team and work directly with the Director of Community & Agency Marketing and their team. Webflow is all about giving development superpowers to everyone — and this role will work to craft creative activations that both show off what’s possible with Webflow and capture the spirit of our Webflow community and its members. This role will work alongside our community team to partner with our agency partners, community members, and brand studio teams to shape our community brand & deliver delightful experiences. We have a community of incredible designers, and you’ll be acting as a liaison between the team and community members to highlight their work while holding a high bar for leading the expansion and growth of the Webflow Community brand.

  • Reporting to the Manager, Community & Education Design

As a Senior Designer, Community, you’ll:

  • Own & Scale Webflow’s Community brand and recognition. You’ll own and deliver Web design experiences that push the community brand to the next level and deliver creative solutions to help improve activation of our users. Everything from creating innovative resources like The flexbox game and shareable cloneables, to owning design for community programs like Global Leaders . These areas include extending the community brand through Webflow development, static design, and more. Your work will extend the Webflow Community brand across integrated & brand campaigns, product launches, and content initiatives — both online and in-person.
  • Push Webflow Community’s web experience cross platforms. You’ll own the web experience for Webflow’s community pages and its programs. You'll partner directly with cross-functional teams (Product, Ecosystem, Video Production, Marketing, and others) and are proactive in recognizing areas of opportunity to enhance and expand the Webflow Community web user experience and drive in-app activation/feature adoption. You'll play a pivotal role in evolving and enriching the Webflow Community experience, ensuring that it thrives and expands across all platforms.
  • Develop and Design best-in-class websites and web layouts. You’ll push the boundaries of web design by creating designs and resources that can inspire millions of people to connect and learn together on the web. You’ll establish and manage a style guide that maintains our voice, tone, look, and feel while also pushing the bar to what's possible. 
  • Push the boundaries of what’s possible. Our team enjoys a ton of experimental freedom, and we’re always looking for ways to improve, even when the method isn’t 100% proven. If an idea gets our users excited about learning, we’re interested in trying it. We love bold, aspirational, and sophisticated designs. If it makes someone do a double-take, let’s build it. We use stills, illustrations, scripted videos, unscripted videos, music with video, and clear graphics (plus a billion other things that won't fit here) to reinforce teaching visually. 

In addition to the responsibilities outlined above, at Webflow we will support you in identifying where your interests and development opportunities lie and we'll help you incorporate them into your role.

You’ll thrive as a Senior Designer, Community, if you:

  • 5+ years of relevant industry experience.
  • Can provide a portfolio that demonstrates exceptional design skills, attention to detail, and the ability to solve complex problems through elegant solutions.
  • Are a self-motivated problem-solver who can manage to work on multiple projects at once.
  • Are an innovative creative thinker that likes to push what's possible with design.
  • Are an excellent communicator (both verbal and written) with an ability to present your work to peers and key stakeholders.
  • Are a Webflow Expert and are able to turn designs into web experiences with interactions and animations.
  • Have demonstrated experience creating and upholding brand guidelines.

  • Move with heartfelt urgency. We have a healthy relationship with impatience, channeling it thoughtfully to show up better and faster for our customers and for each other. Time is the most limited thing we have, and we make the most of every moment.
  • Say the hard thing with care. Our best work often comes from intelligent debate, critique, and even difficult conversations. We speak our minds and don’t sugarcoat things — and we do so with respect, maturity, and care.
  • Make your mark. We seek out new and unique ways to create meaningful impact, and we champion the same from our colleagues. We work as a team to get the job done, and we go out of our way to celebrate and reward those going above and beyond for our customers and our teammates.
