Job Summary

The Sr. UX/UI Designer will work on the Experience Design (XD) team and is responsible for creating solutions that meet customer needs, align with business priorities, bring the brand to life in meaningful ways, and promotes digital and mobile adoption—all in a manner that is easy to use, and as efficient and simple as possible for our customers. You will work collaboratively with other teams taking a project from conception, through analysis, prototyping and testing, visual design, and finally to implementation ensuring the customers' view remains the focus.

Note: this is a product design position that requires actual experience designing real products. While graphic and brand design are complementary, they are different skill sets and have a significantly different workflow than product.

You will work with a number of products that have great volumes of data, frequent changes and require summarization and categorization with drill downs and expansions. The complexity and depth of the data require creative and innovative interactions for the users to understanding what they are viewing, analyzing and impacting. This multidiscipline position requires a systems-savvy person that is equal parts: experience architect and visual designer.

You will follow a customer-centered design process, understanding real customers—their goals, aptitudes, experiences, needs, motivations, and context. In this role you will approach design in a manner that finds the harmony between customer needs and desires, business goals and objectives, and technical capabilities. You will be working closely with product managers, their teams and software developers to determine necessary features and drive the design of products. You will play a key role in translating industry experts’ insights and customer needs into great design that addresses requirements and creates elegant solutions.
