UX Strategist Job at Awwwards in Boston

Overview

Anchour is hiring a UX Strategist to define and shape intuitive, content-first digital experiences for our website and retainer clients. This role focuses on user experience, structure, and functionality, rather than visual / UI design.

You’ll take the lead in wireframing and prototyping in Figma, ensuring our websites and platforms are clear, purposeful, and user-friendly. You’ll collaborate closely with designers, developers, and copywriters to translate business goals and audience needs into experiences that drive engagement and results.

This is a strategic, client-facing role for someone who thrives on systems thinking, problem solving, and prototyping—with the flexibility to also support content planning when needed.

What You’ll Do

UX Strategy

Translate business goals and audience insights into user journeys, flows, and page structures.

Build detailed, medium-fidelity wireframes in Figma that prioritize usability and content hierarchy.

Develop prototypes that demonstrate interaction models, page flows, and functional logic.

Conduct stakeholder interviews and workshops to uncover requirements and align on goals.

Wireframing & Prototyping

Lead the creation of wireframes and prototypes that show intent, hierarchy, and structure.

Collaborate with designers to ensure a smooth and intentional handoff from wireframe to UI design.

Ensure prototypes clearly communicate interactions, content placement, and functional requirements for development.

Planning & Wireframes

Support creation of sitemaps and content outlines for new websites.

Contribute to content priority guides and documentation that ensure UX and content are aligned.

Help identify gaps in content that may impact user flows or usability.

Deliver content-first wireframes or annotated wireframe inputs that show intentional structure, not placeholders.

Ensure that wireframe layouts and flows support the content narrative.

Collaboration & Leadership

Partner with design, development, and strategy teams to bring user-first solutions to life.

Confidently present wireframes, prototypes, and rationale to clients.

Communicate the value of UX decisions in terms of usability, ROI, and business impact.

What We’re Looking For

2–4 years of UX strategy or UX design experience in an agency or fast-paced environment.

Strong expertise in Figma for wireframing and prototyping.

Demonstrated ability to design flows, interactions, and structures—not just screens.

Familiarity with content planning and working alongside content strategy.

Excellent facilitation and communication skills—you can lead workshops and guide clients through UX decisions.

A systems thinker who can balance user needs, content requirements, and technical feasibility.
