ABOUT THE GIRLTREK MOVEMENT

GirlTrek is a grassroots, movement-building organization and is the largest and most inspiring non-profit organization for Black women’s health in the nation. With a membership of 1.2 million members, and counting, a viral podcast called Black History Bootcamp with close to 2M downloads and a volunteer infrastructure that directly serves thousands of the nation’s Blackest neighborhoods – GirlTrek’s influence is unmatched.

Overview: Our change theory is simple: we walk, talk, and solve problems together. This approach addresses the “Three Deadly Is” of inactivity, isolation, and injustice. On Juneteenth of this year, we launched GirlTREK Underground, our mobile app for members. It's been received extremely well and we have an ambitious roadmap. We're looking for a Part-Time UX/UI Designer to work closely with the product team to improve the app's user experience and design new features. The work will include creating wireframes, prototypes, and designs ready for implementation by our engineering team, all done iteratively in collaboration with multiple teammates. The commitment is approximately 10 hours per week, with work continuing at least through the end of 2024.

Key Responsibilities

• Translate concepts into user flows, wireframes, mockups and prototypes that lead to intuitive user experiences.
• Design and deliver wireframes, user stories, user journeys, and mockups optimized for mobile device interfaces.
• Identify design problems and devise elegant solutions.
• Make strategic design and user-experience decisions related to core, and new, functions and features.
• Take a user-centered design approach and rapidly test and iterate your designs.
• Collaborate with other GirlTREK team members to ensure cohesion between the app and GirlTREK’s engagement and organizing work.

Who You Are

Qualifications:

• Strong visual design skills, from sketches and wireframes to pixel-perfect production ready designs
• Ability to build functional prototypes in standard industry tools including Figma
• Deep background with user experience design, especially for mobile
• Comfort with conducting user experience research
• Outstanding communication skills to operate effectively in a multidisciplinary team environment, including colleagues in product management, engineering, content design, and marketing
