• Collaborate closely with design leads and cross-functional partners to solve complex UX challenges, develop interface architectures, and deliver polished visual experiences.
• Maintain consistency across navigation and search surfaces, ensuring cohesive interactions and visual patterns throughout primary user journeys.
• Partner with design-system teams to contribute reusable components, UI patterns, interaction models, and documentation for navigation and search experiences.
• Rapidly absorb existing research, product context, technical constraints, and user requirements when transitioning into new workstreams.
• Identify common patterns and opportunities across different surfaces and apply systemic thinking to create scalable solutions.
• Balance detailed visual execution with broader UX considerations, ensuring designs are both intuitive and technically feasible.
• Communicate design rationale and decisions clearly to product stakeholders, engineering leaders, business partners, and other non-design audiences.
• Contribute to a collaborative, contribution-based design culture through knowledge sharing, feedback, and cross-functional partnership.

Requirements

• 3-6+ years of professional digital product design experience, particularly across enterprise products, complex web applications, or large-scale digital ecosystems.
• Bachelor’s degree in Design, Human-Computer Interaction, Interaction Design, Fine Arts, or a comparable discipline, or equivalent practical experience.
• A comprehensive portfolio demonstrating strong visual and UI craft alongside end-to-end UX problem-solving and design processes.
• Proven ability to work effectively in ambiguous environments with changing priorities and multiple concurrent workstreams.

• Strong proficiency with modern design and prototyping tools such as Figma.
• Experience working within collaborative, component-based design systems and contributing directly to shared pattern libraries.
• Strong systemic-thinking skills, with the ability to recognize recurring patterns and translate them into scalable design solutions.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to explain complex design decisions to executives, engineers, product teams, and business stakeholders.
• Professional fluency in written and spoken English.
• Experience working in embedded agency, consulting, or similarly dynamic environments where priorities can shift rapidly is advantageous.
• Experience designing enterprise search, discovery experiences, global navigation, headers, or footers at scale is a plus.
• Familiarity with healthcare, life sciences, or other highly regulated enterprise environments is beneficial.
• Understanding of accessibility standards, including WCAG 2.1 AA, is preferred.
• Familiarity with modular content structures is an advantage.
• A curious, adaptable, detail-oriented mindset and willingness to collaborate, receive feedback, and continuously improve.
