Job description

• Actively participate in Design Sessions with business stakeholders, developers, and fellow UX professionals.
• Provide real-time guidance during collaborative design activities, helping participants focus their ideas and translate them into actionable design outputs. While design sprint facilitators handle session planning and problem framing, candidates play a key role in shaping how those sessions come to life - supporting activities, offering UX perspective, and ensuring ideas are effectively captured through sketches or low-Client wireframes.
• Translate group activities and session outcomes into wireframes and clickable prototypes.
• Support usability testing through prototype preparation, scenario development, and iteration.
• Collaborate with the UX team to provide design support across ongoing projects when not in design sessions.
• Conduct UX research activities as needed (e.g., stakeholder interviews, heuristic evaluations).
• Ensure all outputs align with our design system, accessibility standards, and brand guidelines.
• Present design decisions and concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.

Required Experience :

• 5+ years of UX experience, ideally in the financial or enterprise software sector.
• Expertise in wireframing and prototyping tools (Proficiency in Figma required).

Required Skills :

• Strong comfort level with facilitating and / or co-leading design workshops.
• Experience working with complex workflows and internal business tools.
• A collaborative, vocal, and inquisitive personality - someone who isn’t afraid to ask “why?”
• Proven ability to manage stakeholders and communicate confidently with non-design audience's.
• Ability to work with minimal supervision, prioritizing tasks and managing time independently.
• Familiarity with accessibility standards (WCAG 2.1+) and inclusive design practices.

Nice To Have :

• Experience designing within or contributing to a design system.
• Experience conducting UX research, synthesizing insights, or presenting findings.
