We are looking for a creative Shopify Designer / Implementation Specialist who can help design, customize, and launch beautiful, high-performing Shopify stores for our clients.
This role is ideal for someone who has a strong eye for design, understands e-commerce, and knows how to bring a brand to life inside Shopify. You should be comfortable working with Shopify themes, customizing layouts, installing and configuring apps, and turning ideas, brand guidelines, and client feedback into polished digital experiences.
You do not need to be a full-stack developer, but you should be comfortable making thoughtful design decisions, adjusting layouts, improving user experience, and ensuring every page looks clean, modern, and on-brand.
Responsibilities

- Make design-focused improvements around spacing, typography, imagery, color, hierarchy, and mobile responsiveness
- Customize Shopify themes using the theme editor and basic HTML, CSS, and Liquid when needed
- Install, configure, and style Shopify apps so they feel native to the brand experience
- Work with apps for reviews, email/SMS, subscriptions, loyalty, forms, upsells, search, filtering, shipping, and other e-commerce workflows
- Support Shopify store setup, including products, collections, menus, pages, metafields, and basic settings
- Help create landing pages and promotional pages for campaigns, launches, and seasonal moments
- Review sites across desktop and mobile to make sure the experience feels polished and consistent
- Troubleshoot theme, app, layout, and styling issues
- Collaborate with project managers, developers, and clients to bring creative ideas to life
- Document setup steps, app configurations, and client-facing instructions when needed
Requirements
- Hands-on experience working with Shopify stores
- Strong creative eye and understanding of modern e-commerce design
- Ability to make a site feel polished, premium, and on-brand
- Strong understanding of layout, typography, spacing, color, imagery, and responsive design
- Comfortable customizing Shopify themes and working inside the Shopify theme editor
- Experience building and updating Shopify pages, product pages, collection pages, and landing pages
- Comfortable making front-end updates using HTML, CSS, and basic Liquid
- Experience installing, configuring, and styling Shopify apps
- Ability to take a design, reference site, moodboard, or client request and implement it inside Shopify
- Strong attention to detail and ability to QA your own work
- Good communication skills and ability to explain design and implementation decisions
- Ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines
Nice to Have

- Experience working at an agency or with multiple Shopify clients
- Experience with Shopify POS
- Experience with Figma, Adobe Creative Suite, Canva, or similar design tools
- Experience creating wireframes, mockups, or landing page concepts

Ideal Candidate
The ideal candidate is creative, detail-oriented, and understands how design impacts the customer journey. You should be someone who can look at a Shopify store and know how to make it better — whether that means improving the layout, cleaning up the mobile experience, adjusting typography, styling an app, or creating a more elevated brand experience.
You should be comfortable taking direction, but also confident bringing your own ideas to the table. We are looking for someone who can think creatively, solve problems, and help turn client brands into beautiful, functional Shopify experiences.
