We’re looking for a Senior UX Designer who excels at translating complex systems into intuitive, elegant user experiences.

• Design End-to-End Experiences: Lead the UX and UI design of web-based tools across Higharc’s platform.
• Simplify the Complex: Translate detailed workflows into clear, human-centered experiences.
• Collaborate Cross-Functionally: Work closely with product managers and engineers to ensure cohesive product thinking. Partner closely with homebuilders, suppliers, contractors, and buyers to understand their needs and pain points.
• Own Design Process: Develop user flows, journey maps, wireframes, prototypes, and high-fidelity visuals to articulate design intent.
• Influence Product Strategy: Bring a strong, user-focused design perspective to product decisions.
• Validate with Data: Leverage both qualitative and quantitative user insights to inform and iterate on designs.
• Champion Design Systems: Contribute to and evolve our design system to ensure consistency and scalability.
