About the Role
We're looking for a Senior UX Strategist to lead the re-architecture and consolidation of two existing websites into a single, scalable platform. This is a contract engagement focused on strategy, structure, and user experience — not visual design (we have a creative designer in-house). The right person will bring a strong point of view on how to organize content, build intuitive navigation systems, and set up an information architecture that can grow with the business.

What You'll Do

• Audit the content and structure across both existing websites
• Develop a unified site map and navigation architecture that merges both sites into one cohesive experience
• Define a scalable page hierarchy and content categorization framework
• Create wireframes for key page templates (homepage, landing pages, interior pages, etc.)
• Establish URL structure, internal linking strategy, and heading hierarchy optimized for SEO
• Advise on Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) best practices — structured data, content clarity, and formatting that performs well in AI-generated search results
• Collaborate with our in-house creative designer to hand off wireframes and structural direction
• Document the IA and UX rationale so it can guide future site growth

What We're Looking For

• 10+ years of experience in UX strategy, information architecture, or a related discipline
• Proven experience leading website redesigns, ideally projects involving site consolidation or migration
• Deep expertise in information architecture — site mapping, taxonomy, navigation design, and content modeling
• Experience with content migration planning and redirect mapping (301 strategy)
• Familiarity with CMS platforms and how IA decisions impact CMS setup
• Strong understanding of SEO fundamentals (URL structure, heading hierarchy, internal linking, content siloing)
• Familiarity with Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) and how AI-powered search tools surface and cite content
• Experience working alongside or handing off to visual/creative designers
• Strong communicator who can articulate the "why" behind structural decisions

Engagement Details
This is a contract engagement supporting a phased website redesign and migration. Phase 1 delivery is targeted for October 2026, with a final migration completion in June 2027. We anticipate this being a full-time commitment through Phase 1, with more flexibility during Phase 2, with the potential for work delivery prior to June 2027. The anticipated hourly rate is $75 - $125 for this position, with flexibility based on qualifications and experience.

We believe that our differences make us stronger, and we are committed to fostering a culture of respect, empathy, and understanding.

• We are a fully remote team operating across the United States, giving our employees the flexibility to work from wherever they choose.
