UX Designer (III)

UX Designer (III)

As a User Experience (UX) Designer, you own outcomes for one mature project, complex program, or emerging area. You accomplish this by navigating and defining a scalable and sustainable approach to solve difficult problems with limited precedent and/or by developing and evangelizing long-term user experience & product strategy for your team. You influence by guiding the momentum of multiple adjacent design efforts and/or by providing alternative perspectives for your team that challenge prevailing thinking against common objectives and/or by provoking greater divergence of thinking. You apply your expertise by serving as a subject-matter expert in UX design principles, user-centered product development methodologies, design systems, and research tools. You collaborate with others to deliver work such as: analyzing or anticipating user needs, resolving constraints, and mitigating potential risks, leading the implementation of a holistic design process, design system, or design language across teams or products, defining user experience / product strategy for your team, and exploring innovative solutions to new or existing problems that explicitly consider and mitigate unintentional harm. You have a proven ability to design products and deliver outputs including the product or platform, and possess the depth of knowledge, experience, and business acumen required to assess and communicate how well-considered the design work is for appropriateness, longevity, collaboration, scaling.

Responsibilities include:

• Collaborate with engineers to communicate, negotiate, and/or influence design intention. Guide design specifications (e.g., design spec s, mock-ups, or product models) for implementation.
• Use and propose new, key data and metrics to evaluate product impact, understand the product ecosystem, user trends, and industry (e.g., competitors) by collaborating across teams when developing design solutions.
• Drive improvements in design based on UX testing and stakeholder input and provide input and feedback to engage stakeholders on product design and achieve product goals.
• Build consensus across teams and gain support for design strategy across stakeholders. Communicate design approach to other designers or stakeholders (e.g., product manager), addressing and anticipating challenges and questions.

• Create design solutions based on user insights, business needs, and industry trends that further business objectives. Support stakeholders in achieving key performance indicators (KPIs).
• Create innovative design solutions to user, product, and business problems. Anticipate evolving design constraints and communicate rationale of choices related to design solutions.
• Drive a holistic design process, design system, or design language across teams or products. Perform design and testing processes and help develop and generate support for a design vision with partners.
• Guide UX designers in creating design concepts for product ideation and/or user research/testing or conduct research independently to inform design. Seek research insights to develop the appropriate design direction.
• Apply, adapt, and/or define UX design frameworks for user experiences, including principles, patterns, and systems. Leverage writing and design tools to visualize ideas or develop mock-ups or prototypes to drive the product vision forward. Tailor deliverables based on product or platform requirements independently. Identify and follow writing and design templates, style guides, and accessibility guidelines.
• Propose ideas to improve UX by analyzing or anticipating user needs through collaboration with others, and solve constraints in strategy, product, or technology.
