In return, you'll have opportunities to work with and design for users across the globe as well as gain a deep understanding of the unique, scientific challenges of the Oil & Gas industry. Youll also be part of a highly-collaborative team of some of the most talented UX designers and researchers in the business making marked improvements on how our users/customers work. Job Responsibilities * Design innovative solutions which make users more productive so that they can focus on really tough challenges and not their tools. * Understand research findings and incorporate them into your designs. * Communicate designs through sketches, wireframes, and prototypes as needed. * Design elegant interfaces and processes which make the complex, simple. * Communicate, influence, and collaborate with other UX team members, stakeholders, and project teams. * Adapt and flex to dynamic project needs and priorities. * Collaborate with other designers to critique designs, build on standards, and contribute to the upstream technical design language. * Maintain project flexibility, nimbleness, and velocity to respond to dynamic business needs. * Educate and advocate for proper design principals and processes.
