UX Strategist, Anchour, ME, US

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 & Planning
  • 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.
• Collaboration & 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
• Messaging & Brand Voice
  • Translate brand strategy into clear, consistent messaging across product, service, and landing pages
  • Help establish or refine tone of voice and positioning based on client goals and audience expectations
• 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.
