Restraint, taste, and a stubborn refusal to ship anything mediocre: that's the trifecta VMware wants in its next UI Designer. This contract job at VMware delivers $75,000 - $108,000, hands-on ownership, and a clear ladder for creative professionals.
Key Responsibilities
- Audit existing creative for the fast-growing inconsistencies nobody flagged sooner
- Trace every Adobe Photoshop asset back to the brief so revisions stay honest
- Localize creative for the Vallejo, CA market while preserving brand consistency
- Balance creative ambition with budget, timeline, and technical constraints
- Curate the reference wall that keeps a 3-person studio pointed the same way
- Write microcopy that does the heavy lifting buttons usually get blamed for
- Recast dry compliance copy as something a human might willingly read
- Build the steady-handed pitch deck that wins the $75,000 - $108,000 account in the room
What You'll Bring
- Equal parts Presentation Skills depth and Visual Design curiosity
- Hands-on proficiency with Principle, ideally paired with Visual Design
- The humility to revise strong opinions when the data argues back
- Comfort presenting to a CA-wide audience without a script
- Professionalism, integrity, and discretion with sensitive information
- Calm under the playfully-serious chaos a mid-level role tends to generate
- The diplomacy to align stakeholders who don't agree yet
VMware was founded on a hunch that creative could be far less awful, and Vallejo turned out to be the perfect place to prove it. Curiosity outranks credentials on this creative team, so bring questions, not just answers.
What sits behind the $75,000 - $108,000 offer is a VMware culture built on real mentorship, generous benefits, and schedules that bend toward family.
The posting clock reset today, so the UI Designer window is wide open.
