Junior UI/UX Designer [Remote]

Ledgebrook is an InsurTech MGA on a mission to bring Specialty insurance into the modern era. Burdened with legacy technology and processes, the industry has not kept pace with the speed of innovation seen in other sectors. Positioned at the cutting edge of the next generation of InsurTech, Ledgebrook offers the best of both worlds: innovative world-class technology deployed by a leadership team armed with over 100 years of insurance expertise. 

Our long-term vision is to become a diversified full stack Specialty re/insurer competing with legacy carriers in product lines & markets across the globe. To get there, Ledgebrook will build our premium base by rolling out a new Specialty product every ~6 months until we prove enough traction to raise a balance sheet, become a full stack carrier and eventually compete in the reinsurance markets. Our initial product will be domestic primary and excess GL E&S policies sourced via wholesale brokers. 

At Ledgebrook, everything we do is driven by our culture: Care, Strive, Thrive Together. To succeed in modernizing the industry, we must first succeed in changing the way we do business. Talent density is our north star—fewer, better people working together as one. To that end we’ve replaced all individual incentives with generous equity packages—we play as a team, we win as a team. Everyone benefits handsomely from Ledgebrook’s success. 

Ledgebrook is a fully-remote US based company backed by top venture investors including Brand Foundry & American Family Ventures. 

We’re looking for a talented junior designer that is excited to bring fresh perspectives and energy to an industry that is historically behind the times. You get the best of both worlds in having a Senior Designer to help mentor and foster your skills while also getting a long runway to bring new ideas and designs to the table to improve Ledgebrook’s whole software portfolio. You’ll partner closely with both product and users to best understand the challenges facing the insurance industry and draft creative designs to solve those challenges.

What you'll do:

• Design UI components, screens & flows in Figma
• Translate wireframes and specs into high-fidelity mockups
• Collaborate closely with frontend engineers during handoff
• Conduct usability reviews with stakeholders/subject matter experts and iterate on feedback
• Keep work organized, versioned, and documented in shared libraries
• Interview users to understand how the design of the application can better fit their needs

You combine structured product thinking with a design mindset. You can bridge user needs with a design focus, turning complex scenarios into easy to understand UI that users love to use. You’re organized, collaborative, and thrive on making teams more effective. You have demonstrated a user centric approach to decision-making and a commitment to delivering high-quality products that meet customer needs.

Must have:

• 1-2 years of UI/UX design experience of a strong portfolio from coursework
• Proficiency in Figma
• Solid understanding of visual design fundamentals
• Familiarity with designing web applications for both desktop and mobile use
• Ability to communicate design decisions and rationale clearly

Nice to have:

• Basic understanding of HTML/CSS
• Prior experience in a startup environment
• Experience contributing to a design system or component library
