Senior UI/UX Designer

Render's singular focus is best summarised by our purpose; continuously innovate and evolve technology to build networks better and connect communities. Render's geospatial network construction platform enables telecommunication network operators and construction teams to digitize the construction workflow and cut the time and cost of large-scale fiber deployment.

With greater than $60B in annual US network infrastructure investment forecast to continue for the next decade, the need for technology-enabled efficiency and construction innovation is acute. Render's market-leading platform is experiencing rapid adoption, and in partnership with new majority partners IFM Investors, Render is perfectly positioned to build on existing momentum and realize significant incremental growth.

Our team all have a genuine passion for innovation and technology's role in enabling global communities to thrive. Beyond our work, our values shape everything that we do at Render and we can not overstate how central these statements are to our culture:

• Lead Boldly with Courageous Innovation
• Integrity and Accountability
• Put Customers at the Center

The Role You Will Play We are looking for a dynamic UI/UX designer who will own the complete user experience (UX) and user interface (UI) design of the overall Render system. This role will ensure that Render's solutions are intuitive, efficient, elegantly designed, and delivers measurable impact for customers building and managing large-scale network deployments. To be successful, the candidate must be highly motivated to become an expert on all of the Render technology stack, learning from internal resources and customers in order to act as the primary voice of design and experience across the company.

The successful candidate will have a passion for delivering world class customer experiences (CX) with adaptive and creative solutions to UI/UX design problems by staying up to date with best practices and emerging trends in user experience design and user interface technology. Because Render focuses on the use of geospatial technology in utility infrastructure workflows, this role must have deep experience delivering software solutions with a map-based spatial user interface on the desktop and in the field.

This role is highly customer-facing which includes continuous user research to gather insights into customer needs, behaviors, and pain points through surveys, interviews, and usability testing to inform design decisions. It is also a highly collaborative role, working closely with cross-functional teams at Render including product management, customer delivery, and pre-sales to ensure a cohesive and seamless customer experience. Across these responsibilities, the ideal allocation of time in this role is likely to be 50% of time researching and designing strategic user experiences across the combined platform, 30% of time on customer research and market research to build a competitive and seamless Render user experience, including component library, site map streamlining, and design architecture, etc., and 20% as the company resource for quick input or low fidelity wireframes for product enhancements.

• Monitor and evaluate the customer experience continuously, implementing improvements based on user feedback and evolving needs.

Who You Are:

• Bachelor's degree in Design, Human-Computer Interaction, or a related field.

• 6+ years of experience in customer experience design, user experience design, or a similar role.

• Strong portfolio showcasing experience in user research, journey mapping, and interaction design for both web and mobile platforms.
