Job leads — 2026-07-03
Filter: designer/PM · remote · part-time/fractional/contract · direct with company (no agencies/staffing) · no motion.
Honest read: moderate day. fractionaljobs.io and Go Fractional’s product page were pure repeats (everything strong is already in the seen log). The genuinely NEW, well-matched finds came off Go Fractional’s design page — three clean part-time/contract product-design roles at direct companies, plus one marketplace research contract as a stretch. The UX Jobs Board added nothing new that fits (top additions were agencies, onsite, or full-time — see skipped). web3 boards had no design/PM contract roles. 4 new leads below; not padded.
Strong fit (new)
Freelance Senior SaaS Web Designer — PaceMate · gofractional.com · Freelance · Remote · $115–165/hr · 10–30 hrs/wk
- Healthcare-SaaS (cardiac data) product company, direct. “SaaS Web Designer” = product UI + web build — right in your design→code lane, and the part-time hours (10–30) fit a fractional load.
- Angle: lead with /pm-adjacent SaaS UI work + a design-system case study; emphasize you ship the frontend, not just handoff (Samsung eShop / Sancta Domenica). https://www.gofractional.com/job/pacemate-freelance-senior-saas-web-designer-fully-remote
Fractional UX/UI Designer — inquirED · gofractional.com · Fractional · Remote (United States) · $90–135/hr · 10–30 hrs/wk
- Edtech product company (K-12 social-studies curriculum), direct. Genuine fractional (10–30 hrs), full-scope UX/UI — a clean bullseye for the part-time design filter with US-hours overlap.
- Angle: full-scope product design + design systems; frame edtech as complex multi-user product UX. https://www.gofractional.com/job/inquired-ux-ui-design-contractor
Good fit (new)
Mobile UX Designer — Firstup · gofractional.com · Contract-to-Hire · Remote (US + UK) · $50–80/hr · 20–40 hrs/wk
- Firstup = employee-comms SaaS platform, direct company. Mobile UX (not motion), remote US+UK so timezone-friendly. Contract-to-hire, so verify they’re open to keeping it fractional long-term.
- Angle: mobile/product UI craft + design-system; mention you can implement in the build. https://www.gofractional.com/job/lever-firstup-mobile-ux-designer-lever
Stretch (new)
UX / Product Researcher — Bounce · gofractional.com · 6-month contract · Remote (US + Europe) · $145–195/hr · 30–40 hrs/wk
- Bounce is a luggage-storage marketplace (consumer, high-scale) — your marketplace lane, and clean EU/US timezone. Caveat: this is research-centric, not core product-design/PM, and 30–40 hrs is closer to full-load. Flagged as a stretch; lead with it only if you want to lean research.
- Angle: marketplace product understanding + discovery; pair research with your design output. https://www.gofractional.com/job/ashbyhq-ux-product-researcher-6-month-contract-bounce-jobs
