The Role

Primary Responsibilities

Execution-Focused Design Delivery

• Design end-to-end user experiences for assigned products-from discovery and research through to implementation and refinement

• Produce wireframes, prototypes, high-fidelity designs, and UI specifications that developers can implement with minimal clarification

• Conduct lean user research (interviews, usability testing, contextual inquiry) to validate design decisions efficiently

• Work directly with vendors to ensure design implementation fidelity

• Deploy to products based on organizational priorities-sometimes focusing on one major system, other times supporting 2-3 related initiatives

Cross-System Design Harmonization

• Identify shared patterns across systems within the same pillar (e.g., case management workflows, disbursement processes, registry interfaces)

• Design with awareness of related systems

• Build lightweight, pragmatic component libraries and design patterns that can be reused across similar applications

• Recommend design decisions that balance individual product needs with broader service coherence

• Share insights and patterns across product teams working on related systems

Embedded Team Collaboration

• Integrate into product teams alongside product leads and development teams

• Participate in agile ceremonies across assigned products while maintaining connection to related systems

• Translate business requirements and user needs into actionable design solutions

• Present design rationale to stakeholders-explaining both product-specific decisions and cross-system thinking

• Coordinate with product leads when design decisions affect multiple systems in the same pillar

Practical Design Improvement

• Champion accessibility and inclusive design pragmatically across all systems you touch

• Identify quick wins and incremental improvements based on user feedback and analytics

• Balance product delivery timelines with opportunities to improve broader design consistency

Who You Are

Experience & Expertise

• 6+ years of hands-on UX/UI design experience with demonstrated ability to deliver across diverse product types
• Portfolio showing end-to-end design execution across at least 5 different products or systems
• Evidence of creating design consistency across multiple related products or features within a product ecosystem
• Experience balancing individual product delivery with broader design system thinking
• Track record of effective collaboration with developers and successful design implementation

Technical Skills

• Expert-level proficiency in Figma (our primary design tool)
• Strong understanding of component-based design and creating reusable patterns
• Practical knowledge of responsive design, web accessibility (WCAG 2.1), and design systems
• Familiarity with HTML/CSS sufficient to communicate effectively with developers and assess implementation feasibility
• Experience conducting user research using standard methods (interviews, usability testing, surveys)

Working Style & Mindset

• Systems thinker who can zoom between detailed execution and broader pattern recognition
• Self-directed and able to work with ambiguity-you can identify what needs harmonizing without being told
• Pragmatic about design decisions-you know when consistency matters and when local optimization is acceptable
• Comfortable with fluidity-moving between products while maintaining design coherence across your work
• Strong communicator who can explain both product-specific rationale and cross-system implications
• Collaborative team player who builds relationships across multiple product teams
