About the Role

The Mid-Sr. Designer for Global Navigation and Search supports the Unified Experience (UE) Core portfolio. Operating as a flexible individual contributor, this role shifts dynamically between Global Navigation and Search initiatives based on evolving business priorities and product capacity. The position balances high-fidelity visual execution with strategic UX problem-solving, maintaining connective cohesion across primary user journeys and actively contributing reusable navigation and search patterns back into the global design system.

Responsibilities

• Deliver end-to-end user experience and visual design solutions for Global Navigation and Search surfaces based on priorities set by UE Core leadership.
• Transition fluidly between navigation and search workstreams as team capacity and business needs shift, rather than managing a single fixed digital property.
• Collaborate closely with respective surface design leads on complex UX challenges, interface architecture, and visual craft.
• Maintain cross-surface visual and interaction consistency between navigation and search components, preserving their shared connective role across the user journey.
• Partner with the design system team in a contribution-based model to feed search- and navigation-specific UI patterns, components, and documentation back into the design system.
• Ramp up rapidly on existing research, context, and technical constraints when shifting between workstreams.

Qualifications

Required Skills

• 3–6+ years of digital product design experience (UI/UX) across enterprise, complex web applications, or large-scale digital ecosystems.
• Proven experience working within context-shifting or embedded agency/consulting models where priorities evolve rapidly.
• Demonstrated experience contributing directly to component-based design systems and shared pattern libraries.
• Professional verbal and written English communication skills. Ability to articulate complex design decisions clearly to non-design executives, engineering leads, and business stakeholders.
• High comfort level with ambiguity, shifting team priorities, and rapid context-switching.
• Demonstrated capability to quickly absorb context, domain logic, and user requirements when entering new workstreams.
• Proficiency with modern design and prototyping tools (e.g., Figma).
• Experience operating within a collaborative, contribution-based design system workflow.

Preferred Skills

• Preferred: Prior experience designing enterprise search interfaces, discovery experiences, or global header/footer navigation structures at scale.
• Familiarity with complex digital ecosystem implementations within healthcare, life sciences, or regulated enterprise environments.
• Understanding of accessibility standards (WCAG 2.1 AA) and modular content structures.
