We are interested in every qualified candidate who is eligible to work in the United States. However, we are not able to sponsor visas or take over sponsorship at this time.
About the role:
Enova's UX team designs the experiences behind our financial products for business owners and consumers. As a Senior UX Designer, you'll combine strong research and design skills with strategic thinking to solve complex problems and deliver experiences that drive measurable results. You'll partner with Product, Engineering and Marketing to uncover opportunities, shape solutions and balance customer needs, business objectives and technical constraints. You'll also embrace AI to advance how we research, design and deliver work.
About you:
You believe great design starts long before the first wireframe. It starts with asking better questions, challenging assumptions and using data and insights to uncover opportunities others might overlook. Solving the problem in front of you isn't enough. You want to understand whether it's the
right problem to solve. Curiosity, conviction and craft drive your work. You perform and dig deep into research, find meaning in complexity and turn insights into experiences that feel remarkably simple. Confident enough to challenge conventional thinking and humble enough to recognize a better idea, you know how to bring others along. You're excited by how AI and emerging technologies are changing what's possible, but recognize that technology is only as valuable as the problems it solves. Above all, you love the craft of design as much as the strategy behind it, and you're driven to turn ambitious ideas into experiences that make a measurable difference.
Responsibilities:
- Lead research end to end: Independently frame research questions, select appropriate methods, conduct studies and synthesize qualitative and quantitative findings into actionable insights that inform design decisions and uncover opportunities across the customer journey.
- Turn insights into experiences: Translate complex customer needs, research findings and business requirements into elegant experiences, from initial concepts and wireframes through high-fidelity Figma prototypes. Apply strong information architecture, interaction and visual design skills.
- Apply AI across the UX process: Integrate AI into research, synthesis, ideation, prototyping and design to improve quality and efficiency. Proactively experiment with emerging tools, evaluate their impact and help evolve how the team works.
- Influence and collaborate: Build trusted relationships across Product, Engineering, Marketing and other teams. Communicate design decisions with confidence, use research and data to influence outcomes, and exercise sound judgment about when to advocate, adapt or compromise.
- Design within established systems and constraints: Apply and evolve the design system with sound judgment while meeting legal, compliance and accessibility requirements. Balance customer needs, business objectives and technical considerations to deliver effective, scalable and competitive solutions.
- Identify opportunities and measure impact: Look beyond immediate project requests to proactively identify customer and business opportunities. Partner with UX leadership and cross-functional stakeholders to help inform product priorities, define success metrics and use performance data to evaluate and continuously improve experiences.
- Drive work forward: Take ownership of complex UX challenges, navigate ambiguity and changing priorities, and partner with UX Writing, Product, Engineering and fellow designers to move solutions from problem definition through launch and iteration
Requirements:
- 6+ years of UX design experience, including work in financial services or another highly regulated industry, with a portfolio demonstrating strong research, design execution and measurable product impact.
- Advanced qualitative and quantitative research skills, with demonstrated experience independently planning and conducting studies, synthesizing findings and translating insights into actionable design decisions.
- Strong UX design craft, including information architecture, interaction design, prototyping and visual design, with advanced Figma proficiency and experience working within design systems.
- Demonstrated experience applying generative AI across UX research and design workflows to improve quality, accelerate execution or develop new approaches.
- Proven ability to influence cross-functional stakeholders, constructively challenge assumptions and balance competing business, technical and user needs.
- Strong business acumen and strategic thinking, with experience proactively identifying product opportunities and connecting customer insights to measurable business outcomes.
- Adaptability, sound judgment and demonstrated ability to independently navigate ambiguity, solve complex problems and deliver results.
- Experience with UX research and behavioral analytics tools such as Dscout, FullStory or similar platforms.
- Strong understanding of digital product development, technical constraints and agile workflows, with experience partnering closely with Engineering to bring designs to life.
- Familiarity with design-to-develop tools and workflows, including Storybook, Chromatic or similar technologies.

UX Product Design Jobs in Illinois: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a ux product design in Illinois?
UX product design in Illinois requires no state-issued license, so the path runs through education and portfolio rather than a licensing board. Most Illinois employers expect a bachelor's degree in interaction design, human-computer interaction, or a related field, or a completed UX bootcamp paired with a strong case-study portfolio. Chicago's dense tech and agency scene makes it practical to build experience through internships, freelance projects, or nonprofit design work before landing a full-time role.
Which companies hire ux product designs in Illinois?
Employers hiring ux product designs in Illinois right now include Google, Shure, and Rotary, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Illinois's mix of Fortune 500 headquarters, healthcare systems, and fintech companies means design roles appear across industries rather than concentrating in a single sector.
Which Illinois cities have the most ux product design jobs?
Chicago, Lisle, and Niles have the most ux product design openings in Illinois. Chicago drives the bulk of listings because of its concentration of technology firms, financial institutions, and large corporate headquarters, while suburban hubs like Deerfield and Schaumburg add volume through major employers such as Walgreens and Motorola Solutions that maintain sizable in-house design organizations.
Are there remote ux product design jobs in Illinois?
Yes, and more than most fields. About 100% of ux product design openings tied to Illinois are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting how naturally the work translates to distributed collaboration tools. Fully remote roles tend to concentrate in enterprise SaaS and platform product design, where design reviews and handoffs happen asynchronously in Figma and shared documentation rather than in person.
How can I get hired as a ux product design in Illinois with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is an associate or junior product designer role at a mid-size Chicago technology company or digital agency, where smaller teams give new designers broader exposure than large enterprise programs. Building two or three thorough case studies from bootcamp, internship, or volunteer projects with organizations like Chicago-area nonprofits or local civic tech groups creates a portfolio that offsets a thin resume. Adjacent roles such as UX researcher, UI designer, or product analyst at Illinois employers regularly serve as lateral moves into product design once candidates demonstrate design thinking skills on the job.
Where can I find and apply to ux product design jobs in Illinois?
You can find and apply to ux product design jobs in Illinois on Migrate Mate, which lists current Illinois openings. Find the roles that fit your experience and location preference and apply directly through each listing.
