• Drive UX design quality across screen designs and interactive workflows in Figma, adhering to the client’s design system
• Oversee information architecture (IA) development and ensure alignment between IA, user flows, and Angular component structure
• Coordinate knowledge transfer and handoff documentation to the client IT development team upon project completion
• Manage SOW scope, budget tracking, and change management

• Serve as primary quality reviewer across all deliverables before client submission

Required Qualifications

• 6+ years of experience in UX program or project management, leading cross‑functional teams on enterprise digital engagements
• 6+ years of human‑centered design experience: IA, UX workflows, UI design, and interactive prototyping
• Demonstrated experience managing Agile Scrum teams (sprint ceremonies, backlog grooming, velocity tracking)
• Proficiency in Figma for design review, IA documentation, and prototype evaluation
• Experience with Atlassian JIRA and Confluence for backlog management and documentation
• Strong knowledge of WCAG 2.1 AA / Section 508 compliance requirements
• Proven ability to communicate at both executive and tactical levels; experienced in client‑facilitating facilitation

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience overseeing front‑end development (Angular, HTML/CSS) teams in an integrated design+dev engagement
• Familiarity with design system implementation (component libraries, token governance)
• PMP or PMI-ACP certification
• HFI or CUA certification
• Experience in professional consulting environments

Tools

Figma, FigJam, Miro, Atlassian JIRA, Atlassian Confluence, Microsoft 365
