Job Opportunity: Interaction Designer (Web Designer)

The Office of Digital Communications is looking for a creative interaction designer or web designer to join our web team. We’re looking for someone who’s ready to help us elevate, maintain and improve the university's web template.

April 30, 2025 | By DigiComm Team

What you’ll be doing

You’ll work with our team of web professionals including developers and web content strategists to help shape experiences that are as strategic as they are beautiful, grounded in user needs and informed by the university’s brand identity.

You’ll collaborate, iterate and build solutions that feel intuitive on the front end while ensuring they integrate seamlessly with the systems running behind the scenes.

This is a hands-on design role. Your work will influence how users engage with FIU every day.

In this position, the interaction designer will:

💡 Research and develop thoughtful design solutions across mobile, web, desktop, and emerging platforms.

💬 Communicate research findings, conceptual ideas, technical concepts and design with clarity and coherence.

🧩 Prototype low and high-fidelity concepts, from paper-based to interactive.

📐 Develop UX deliverables such as user requirements specifications, personas, use cases, workflow diagrams, wireframes, storyboards, and prototypes.

🤝 Collaborate with developers, ensuring design specifications are implemented from prototypes through to final products

🖌️ Design websites, templates and other projects that explore the potential of new and emerging technologies.

What we’re looking for

While our minimum requirements for this position are a bachelor’s degree in design (or related field), and three years of design experience, we’re hoping our candidates will have:

  • 3-4 years of interaction, web or interface design experience
  • Solid knowledge of typography and grid systems
  • Experience working with and extending template systems and brand guides

Examples of our work

The Office of Digital Communications hosts more than 150 websites and microsites that use the Core template. In a typical year, we'll launch around 80 web projects—a combination of websites, microsites, marketing landing pages, and releases to our template system.
