Job description

Senior Interaction Designer - UX Team

Location: New York

Business Area: Engineering and CTO

Reference #: 10050726

Description & Requirements

The UX team is responsible for uncovering insights about our users’ needs and goals. We translate these insights into valuable and highly usable software solutions across a wide range of products. Through UX research and design, we accelerate our clients’ access to data and insights and develop advanced user workflows. We bring deep experience in creating innovative solutions across multiple channels—desktop, web, and mobile. We continually enhance and evolve the company’s pioneering software solution— the Bloomberg Terminal. In addition to the Terminal, we support other tools like premium desktop, web, mobile products and internal productivity tools. We are a team of researchers, interaction designers, visual designers, prototypers, and technical writers who partner with product and technology to turn our design vision into reality!

We are looking for an experienced Interaction Designer with a passion for making complex systems useful, usable, and delightful. As a member of the team you will closely partner with end users and subject matter experts and take ownership of a domain to envision and craft conceptual solutions, interaction design, and the overall user experience of our products.

We’ll trust you to:

• Use your analytical and conceptual thinking to translate user needs, business objectives and technology capabilities into innovative design solutions
• Lead all aspects of the design process from customer research using qualitative and quantitative methods, conceptualizing, storyboarding, detailed design and working with engineering teams on implementing designs
• Collaborate with business teams to adopt a user centered process and ground design decisions in a detailed understanding of the customer’s workflow and needs. This could include conducting workshops with business and engineering stakeholders, subject matter experts, etc. Additionally, you will collaborate with engineers to support the development of products as per design specifications

You’ll need to have:

• 4+ years of experience as a UX or Product designer
• A Graduate Degree in HCI, Interaction Design, Information Architecture, Visual Communication, or any design-related field
• A track record of applying common User-Centered Design practices, including conducting user research & usability research/analysis to tackle challenging design problems
• Experience with designing complex user workflows, decision-support systems, or enterprise software, and designing framework-level patterns, the information architecture, and/or large dataset visualizations
• Strong communication skills to advocate for the user’s needs throughout the process
• Project management skills to see projects through the design lifecycle from start to release. This includes the ability to proactively engage with business and engineering stakeholders as part of a cross-functional team
• Willingness to mentor design team members

We’d love to see:

• Domain and design experience in any of the following categories:
• Financial domain experience, especially in fixed income and/or private equity/private markets
• AI-powered systems
• Software development / engineering tools
• Platform/infrastructure-level design
• Experience engaging with highly complex domains

Portfolio:

We are interested in reviewing two of your design projects in detail for this position. We would like to see artifacts that help us understand your design process and thinking across the full project lifecycle. This may include, but should not be limited to: customer research, personas, sketches, user journeys, task flows, wireframes, storyboards, prototypes, success metrics, etc. We want to see how you designed from a deep understanding of user workflow and walk through your work step-by-step as your user would. We would like to see how your process informed your design choices.
