What You’ll Need:

• Strong experience in UX research and design, applying a wide range of techniques to define and solve complex design problems

• Solid user-centred design methodology and practice and strong critical thinking skills to understand user needs vs user wants
• Experience in designing complex enterprise applications collaboratively across multiple R&D teams
