Staff Web Designer
About the role
The opportunity
Help us define what AI-era marketing sites look like.
At Acquia, we power the digital experiences of the world's most ambitious brands through Drupal and our suite of digital experience products. Our own site, Acquia.com, is where that story lives — and it's about to change in a big way. AI is rewriting how people discover, explore, and decide on B2B software, and we want a designer who is excited to shape what that looks like in the open.
This is not a "make the page pretty" role. It's a craft-led, system-minded, build-it-yourself role for a senior designer who wants real ownership of a flagship B2B web property and a real seat at the table as we redesign the site for an AI-first audience.
What you'll own
Acquia.com — craft, brand, and creative range
You'll set the visual and experiential bar for Acquia.com. We want bolder, more playful, more confident work than a typical B2B site. You'll translate brand and product positioning into web experiences that make Acquia feel as ambitious as the brands we serve, and partner closely with our Brand & Creative team to keep identity tight while pushing the web expression forward.
A modern, component-based design system
You'll co-own our web design system alongside Brand & Creative. We're moving toward a Tailwind + React component foundation built on top of Drupal. You'll define and document the components, patterns, and tokens, hold the line on consistency and accessibility, and make the system something Brand, Marketing, and Dev all want to build with.
AI-era web design
Roughly 40% of this role is forward-looking AI design work. You'll lead how Acquia.com adopts AI-generated and AI-assisted surfaces — personalized hero treatments, dynamic copy patterns, content generated against guardrails — and define the design language for what is generated, how it's signaled to the visitor, and how we keep quality high. You'll also lead the team's adoption of AI-assisted design and build tools (Figma AI, v0, Cursor, Claude, Lovable, and what comes next), turning them into a real velocity advantage instead of a novelty.
Design and build
You'll design and ship. We want a designer who can take a concept from sketch to live page without long handoff loops — Tailwind and React fluency, fluent in modern CMS authoring, able to reach into custom HTML/CSS and lightweight JS where the system falls short. You won't be the only person who can ship code, but you'll be the designer who can.
End-to-end ownership
You'll own the full arc — the brief, the concept, the system implications, the build, the measurement, and the iteration. We're looking for someone who comes with a point of view about where the site should go and the credibility to argue for it.
