Senior UX Designer

At BI WORLDWIDE, we are committed to creating belongingness, where D&I is a priority. We invite you to join us as we continue to expand our culture of inclusivity, collaboration, and authenticity together.

We work a hybrid model (3 days in the office and 2 days work from home); this position is located in our Minneapolis Metro headquarters.

We're growing our UX practice by adding a Senior UX Designer to our Corporate Product Development team. This person will work alongside our current UX design lead (the primary/lead UX voice) partnering closely with product owners and application engineers to define and design features within our Figma design system. The role is senior enough to co-lead the practice and operate highly independently.

Responsibilities

• Partners with product owners early in the feature lifecycle to clarify problems, define scope, and shape solutions before they move into detailed design
• Designs engaging, intuitive, on-brand, functional user interfaces -- including flows, wireframes, and prototypes -- within the bounds of our Figma design system, which comprises three sub-design systems
• Bridges business concepts and technical feasibility with well-crafted designs, and guides developers to implement them faithfully
• Leads discussions between product owners, engineering, and other stakeholders to optimize usability, information architecture, and technical feasibility
• Helps the team get ahead on the backlog by proactively defining and de-risking upcoming features, rather than only reacting to what's next in the queue
• Writes and guides user stories and interprets them into designs
• Leads user testing sessions and grows our broader UX research practice
• Maintains, expands, and adapts our Figma design system and its sub-systems
• Champions accessibility and internationalization in every design
• Works in close partnership with our lead UX designer -- aligning to their vision and direction while co-leading initiatives and operating independently across your own areas of ownership
• Explains design solutions and rationale to a wide range of stakeholders

Knowledge, Skills and Abilities

Ensure an outstanding user experience, including reusability and consistency across products, while operating with a high degree of independence.

• Creative problem solver who can translate ambiguous business needs and product owner input into concrete, well-defined software interfaces
• Strong communication skills with business and technical partners -- listens well, grasps concepts at a fast pace, synthesizes business and technical input
• Comfortable co-leading design direction alongside another designer -- aligning to a shared vision while independently owning your own feature areas
• Working knowledge of UX research & testing methods (user interviews, usability testing, synthesis), with genuine interest in building out this practice (something we don't yet do)
• Fluent in Figma, with real experience designing within multi-part, component-based design systems
• Expertise in accessibility and internationalization best practices
• Avid adopter of new design tools and techniques, aware of industry trends
• Able to pivot based on feedback and changing business priorities

Education / Experience

• 6+ years' experience UX design experience, including senior level responsibility for defining and designing product features end-to-end
• Experience designing within a structured, component-based design system -- not just using one lightly
• Experience designing a modern, feature-rich SaaS or enterprise software product
• A portfolio that illustrates your approach to design, usability, and process -- not just final visuals

Base Salary Range: $115,000 to $135,000. The final salary and offer will be determined by the applicant's background, experience, and skills.
