  • Advocate for design thinking and push boundaries to create innovative, user-centric experiences.

Craft Exceptional User Experiences:

  • Lead UX research efforts including usability testing, contextual inquiries, and behavioral analytics to inform design decisions.
  • Turn research into actionable outputs — personas, journey maps, service blueprints, and more.
  • Design across platforms: from responsive web and mobile to complex enterprise systems.
  • Create everything from wireframes to polished high-fidelity UIs, ensuring accessibility, scalability, and WCAG compliance.
  • Contribute to and evolve design systems, maintaining visual consistency and interaction standards.
  • Facilitate testing sessions, synthesize findings, and iterate based on real user feedback.

  • Present design concepts with confidence, building trust and alignment with clients and stakeholders.
  • Foster a collaborative environment with engineering, QA, and business teams to ensure seamless handoffs and high-quality delivery.

  • Champion the value of design with clients and internal teams alike.

Support Business Growth:

  • Contribute to proposals and project scoping, bringing design expertise to early-stage client conversations.
  • Use case studies, metrics, and examples to demonstrate the business value of design.

  • Mastery of tools like Figma and Maze — from ideation to prototyping and testing.
  • Exceptional communication skills with the ability to influence and lead stakeholders at all levels.
  • Deep experience with DesignOps and cross-functional collaboration across design, product, and engineering.
  • Familiarity with HTML/CSS and JavaScript frameworks (React, Angular) preferred.
  • Familiarity w/ platforms like AEM, Drupal, SharePoint, Salesforce, or ServiceNow preferred.
