Job Title: Senior User Experience Designer

Years of Experience: 10 + Years

Job Summary

We are seeking a seasoned and highly strategic Senior User Experience Designer to join our dynamic team. In this senior role, you will be instrumental in shaping the user experience of complex, enterprise-grade digital products. The ideal candidate brings a masterful command of Figma, extensive experience managing large-scale, multi-platform design systems, and a proven track record of confidently presenting and securing design approvals directly from enterprise clients. You will collaborate closely with product management, engineering, and business leaders to translate intricate requirements into seamless, intuitive, and cohesive digital ecosystems.

Key Responsibilities

• Figma Ecosystem Management: Serve as the core expert in Figma, leveraging advanced features (variables, auto-layout, component properties, interactive prototyping) to build scalable, high-fidelity design solutions.
• Design System Orchestration: Own, govern, and scale large, complex design systems. Ensure cross-product UI consistency, accessibility compliance, and smooth handoff processes between design and engineering.
• Client Advocacy & Stakeholder Management: Confidently demonstrate, articulate, and defend design concepts, user journeys, and strategic design rationales directly to executive clients to secure alignment and formal approvals.
• User Research & Synthesis: Lead user research, heuristic evaluations, and usability testing to uncover deep user insights and transform them into actionable design strategies.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with product managers and technical architects to define product direction, balance user needs with technical feasibility, and ensure high-fidelity implementation in an Agile environment.
• Mentorship: Guide and mentor mid-level and junior designers, fostering a culture of design excellence, continuous learning, and process optimization.
  
  

Mandatory Skills

• Deep Figma Expertise: Exceptional proficiency in Figma is non-negotiable. You must have deep experience utilizing it for complex UI layouts, robust prototyping, and managing shared team libraries.
• Large-Scale Design Systems: Proven track record of architecting, maintaining, or heavily contributing to extensive, multi-brand, or enterprise-level design systems.
• Client-Facing Communication: Exceptional presentation, storytelling, and negotiation skills. The ability to manage client feedback loop effectively and manage expectations is crucial.
• Advanced UX/UI Architecture: Master-level capability in creating responsive web and mobile layouts, wireframes, detailed user flows, and high-fidelity micro-interactions.
• User-Centered Methodologies: Strong foundations in design thinking, cognitive walkthroughs, information architecture, and structured problem-solving.
  
  

Preferred Skills

• Design Thinking Frameworks: Certification or structured experience in driving Design Thinking workshops with clients and internal teams.
• Accessibility (a11y): Strong familiarity with WCAG 2.1/2.2 guidelines and designing for inclusive digital experiences.
• Agile Integration: Deep understanding of integrating design sprints seamlessly into technical Agile/Scrum development lifecycles.
• Development Literacy: A strong conceptual understanding of front-end technologies (component-driven development, CSS tokens) to bridge the gap between design and code.
  
  

Qualifications

• Experience: 10+ years of dedicated professional experience in UI/UX design, with a significant portion spent in senior or lead consultant-level capacities.
• Education: Bachelors or Master's degree in Design, Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Interaction Design, or an equivalent specialization. Professional certifications (e.g., HFI, UX-Master) are highly valued.
• Portfolio: A robust portfolio demonstrating end-to-end design frameworks for complex ecosystems, meticulous Figma organization, design system governance models, and real-world client success stories.
