Overview

Plaid needs a designer who can carry a website from first wireframe to live launch without handing the build to someone else. The contract centers on Effects 2027, Plaid's flagship annual event for leaders in finance, where the site has to serve registration, speaker and agenda pages, live event coverage, and an on-demand content library once the doors close. You work in Figma and ship the front end yourself in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, with tools like Framer or Webflow in the mix. Marketing, events, and engineering partners sit close by, so expect steady tradeoffs between what looks ambitious and what the platform can support.

What You'll Do7

Own the Effects 2027 web experience from the first registration page through the live event and the on-demand library that follows
Design and build responsive pages that pair strong visual craft with clear user journeys and deliberate interactions
Rework the site across each launch phase: speaker reveals, agenda changes, live coverage, and post-event content
Produce supporting assets such as site banners, promotional landing pages, and smaller event pages
Turn requests from Marketing, Events, and engineering into experiences the platform can actually support
Recommend tools and technical approaches that hold up on performance and stay maintainable
Build reusable components and patterns so visual consistency survives frequent updates

Requirements7

Five or more years in web, digital, or interactive design, backed by a portfolio of shipped sites that shows real visual craft
Track record designing responsive marketing sites, landing pages, and interactive digital experiences
Ability to build and launch production-ready websites on your own
Working knowledge of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, plus tools such as Framer, Webflow, or modern front-end frameworks
Deep Figma skills: components, prototyping, and design files built for implementation
Grounding in interaction design, usability, accessibility, and web standards
Comfort juggling several deadlines and shifting requirements across cross-functional teams with minimal oversight

Preferred Qualifications4

Experience with AI-assisted development tools and workflows
Integrations with CMS platforms, registration systems, analytics, or third-party services
Websites for large-scale events, conferences, or multi-phase campaigns
Custom interactions, animations, or other expressive web work

Who Should Apply

A senior web designer who codes: five or more years of shipped work, a sharp eye for visual detail, and the front-end skills to launch a site alone. If you have run a multi-phase event site in Figma, Framer, or Webflow and stay steady when requirements shift, this fits.

Salary Insight

The contract pays $90 to $130 per hour. Plaid sets the range wide enough to cover a designer with five or more years of experience who also writes front-end code, so where you land likely depends on how strong your build portfolio runs.
