Freelance AWS UX/UI Consultant Job at The Motley Fool
The Motley Fool is looking for a highly skilled, senior level UX/UI consultant with AWS experience to consult with our team on an independent contract basis, 20-40 hours per week for approximately 6 months. This is a senior-level, consulting position that is very flexible and 100% remote. However,
candidates must be located in the United States for consideration.
Who are we?
We are The Motley Fool, a purpose-driven financial information and services firm with nearly 30 years of experience focused on making the world smarter, happier, and richer. But what does that even mean?! It means we’re helping Fools (always with a capital “F”) demystify the world of finance, beat the stock market, and achieve personal wealth and happiness through our products and services.
The Motley Fool is firmly committed to diversity, inclusion, and equity. We are a motley group of overachievers that have built a culture of trust founded on Foolishness, fun, and a commitment to making the world smarter, happier and richer. However you identify or whatever winding road has led you to us, please don't hesitate to apply if the description above leaves you thinking, "Hey! I could do that!"
What does this team do?
We are assembling a team of AWS-experienced developers, product managers, designers and more to help us migrate to a cloud-first environment.

What would you do in this role?
You’ll be consulting cross-functionally across tech and design teams at The Motley Fool as we push full-steam ahead toward our migration to the cloud (and AWS specifically). You’ve preferably worked for a cloud-based company in the past and can bring your unique perspective (framed by your expert-level UX/UI chops) to the table. You’ll partner with our prototyping team and help to showcase new ways The Motley Fool can approach UX and UI design, and share feedback and potential enhancements to our current design framework.
