• Execute all stages of visual design, from initial concept to final assets, ensuring designs are translated accurately for engineering implementation.
• Transform written and verbal requirements into visually compelling design examples.
• Generate original design concepts that simplify complex tasks and enhance user-friendliness.
• Create wireframes, storyboards, user flows, process flows, and site maps to effectively communicate design and interaction ideas.
• Present and defend design concepts and milestone deliverables to peers and executive-level stakeholders.
• Conduct user research and evaluate user feedback to inform and refine design decisions.
• Adhere to style standards for typography and graphic design, while also developing and promoting design guidelines, best practices, and standards to maintain brand continuity.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Interaction Design, Human-Computer Interaction, or a related field; or equivalent combination of education and experience. At least 2 years of relevant experience is preferred.
• Demonstrated UI design skills with a strong portfolio showcasing relevant work.
• Experience in UI/UX design for SaaS and/or PaaS products.
• Solid proficiency in creating wireframes, storyboards, user flows, process flows, and site maps.
• Ability to balance product, development, and user-centered goals to contribute to overall product strategy.
• Capability to manage time effectively, producing deliverables in a fast-paced, multi-project environment.
• Excellent communication skills (oral and written) for effectively presenting design concepts to stakeholders.
• Proficiency in design tools such as Photoshop, Illustrator, Figma, and/or other visual design and wireframing tools.
• A critical eye for detail and a strong commitment to visual design excellence.
