- Analyze usage data and conduct testing to continuously improve the product experience, including data-heavy screens (charts, graphs, dashboards, and reporting workflows).
QUALIFICATIONS
- 7+ years of experience in UI/UX, product design, or similar roles.
- Strong portfolio showcasing user flows, wireframes, high-fidelity UI, and final products.
- B2B product experience designing workflow-driven applications where clarity, efficiency, and accuracy matter.
- Experience designing for both desktop and mobile applications, including experiences with complex integrations and multi-step processes.
- Proficient in Figma, including interactive prototyping, and comfortable using modern AI-enabled design tools to document, communicate, and iterate on designs and requirements.
- Experience working with design systems and component libraries.
- Strong problem-solving skills with demonstrated ability to simplify complex problems into usable, elegant experiences.
- Solid understanding of design principles, typography, color theory, data visualizations, and responsive design.
- Experience designing data-heavy UX (analytics, dashboards, charts/graphs, and calculation-driven interfaces) with strong attention to detail and QA-mindedness.
- Effective communication and collaboration skills.
Nice-to-Have:
- Familiarity with user research methodologies and usability testing.
