• Translate UX strategy, wireframes, and journey maps from the UX Architect into detailed, high-fidelity, production-ready designs in Figma
• Design intuitive screens and interaction flows for complex onboarding journeys, operational dashboards, and data-heavy experiences
• Conduct design reviews, usability walkthroughs, and iterate based on stakeholder feedback and user testing inputs
• Ensure all design outputs adhere to WCAG accessibility standards, usability heuristics, and the established design system
• Collaborate with product owners and business analysts to refine requirements and resolve design ambiguities during execution

Required Experience & Skills:

• 6-7+ years of hands-on UX/UI design experience, with a strong portfolio of shipped enterprise or B2B products
• Demonstrated experience leading design delivery for complex, data-heavy digital platforms
• Expert-level proficiency in Figma - components, auto-layout, variants, design tokens, prototyping, and library management
• Strong UI craft - typography, layout, visual hierarchy, interaction patterns, and motion
• Proven ability to design intuitive screens for complex workflows — onboarding flows, form-heavy experiences, and dashboards with dense data
• Experience working within and contributing to design systems at scale
• Solid understanding of responsive and adaptive design principles across web and tablet form factors
• Strong working knowledge of accessibility standards (WCAG), usability heuristics, and inclusive design practices
• Experience collaborating with developers and managing design handoff, QA, and post-release iteration
• Ability to lead and mentor a small design pod while remaining hands‑on in execution

Nice to Have:

• Exposure to logistics, transportation, rail, or supply‑chain platforms

• Strong eye for detail with a high bar for craft and consistency

• Clear communicator who can articulate design decisions to peers, engineers, and product stakeholders
• Comfortable operating in a fast‑paced, onsite client environment
