Sr. UX/UI Designer – Enterprise & Data Applications

Responsibilities:

• Own Design End-to-End: Lead UX/UI design for enterprise class applications independently from discovery through delivery — conducting research, producing user flows, wireframes, interactive prototypes, and pixel-precise high-fidelity mockups in Figma with minimal supervision.
• Drive Clarity from Ambiguity: When requirements are vague, competing, or incomplete — step in to facilitate, ask the sharpest questions, and define a path forward. Translate fuzzy business needs into crisp design briefs by showing stakeholders options, not asking open- ended questions.
• Design for Complex Data: Craft clear, scannable, high-performance interfaces for dashboards, data tables, reports, analytics views, and multi-entity workflows. Design for large datasets — pagination, filtering, sorting, drill-down, bulk actions — with the same care given to visual polish.
• Prototype Fast, Learn Faster: Build quick, functional prototypes in Figma — and with AI tools where appropriate — to put ideas in front of real users early, before engineering cycles are committed. Treat prototyping as your primary thinking tool.
• Master the Details: Go deep on every state: loading, empty, error, overflow, edge case. Produce Figma files precise enough to hand off without a single ambiguous pixel.
• Build and Own the Design System: Architect and maintain a comprehensive enterprise design system in Figma — component libraries, design tokens, variables, auto-layout patterns, and thorough documentation — that scales reliably across multiple applications and development teams.
• Leverage AI in Your Workflow: Actively use AI design and prototyping tools to accelerate output, explore interaction patterns, and design intuitive interfaces for AI-native features such as natural language dashboards, intelligent query tools, and automated reporting surfaces.
• User Research & Validation: Plan and conduct user interviews, usability tests, and contextual inquiry with internal stakeholders. Synthesize findings quickly and translate insights into concrete design decisions.
• Stay Embedded with Engineering: Participate in development handoff, review implementations against your specs, flag design drift early, and hold a high bar for what ships. Your job isn't done at handoff.
• Accessibility Without Compromise: Design to WCAG 2.1 AA standards as a baseline — embedding inclusive design principles throughout, not bolting them on at the end.
• Travel: Willingness to travel occasionally as needed to meet with stakeholders, conduct user research sessions, or support key project milestones.

Qualifications & Requirements:

• 5+ years of UX/UI design experience with a strong portfolio demonstrating mastery of complex, data-dense enterprise applications. Experience in fintech, investment management, or professional data tools strongly preferred.
• High agency.
• Expert-level Figma proficiency — component libraries, design tokens, variables, auto-layout, advanced prototyping, and Dev Mode handoff.
• Deep specialization in data-heavy interface design: tables, dashboards, analytics views, filtering systems, multi step workflows, and reporting interfaces for large, complex, multi-variable datasets.
• Demonstrated ability to thrive in fast-paced, ambiguous environments — comfortable starting from incomplete information, making well-reasoned assumptions, and iterating quickly as clarity emerges.
• Proven track record of driving clarity: shaping underspecified requirements into actionable design briefs, facilitating alignment across stakeholders, and moving work forward when others stall.
• High agency and self-starter mentality — you set your own direction, manage your own workload, and deliver without needing constant oversight.
• Strong track record of rapid prototyping using Figma, AI tools, or lightweight code to validate ideas before full engineering investment.
• Active, curious user of AI design and productivity tools — and a genuine commitment to staying current as the tooling evolves.
• Meticulous attention to detail: complete, precise specs that account for every edge case, error state, and real-world data condition.
• Working knowledge of front-end technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) sufficient to have credible conversations with engineers about feasibility and constraints.
• Solid understanding of information architecture — able to design navigation systems and content hierarchies for multi-role, multi-entity platforms where IA errors have real workflow consequences.
• Deep understanding of WCAG 2.1/2.2 accessibility standards and inclusive design principles.
• Excellent communication skills — able to present design rationale clearly and defend decisions with evidence to product, engineering, and executive audiences.
• Willingness to travel occasionally as needed to support stakeholder engagement or user research.
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Interaction Design, Human-Computer Interaction, Graphic Design, or equivalent demonstrated experience.

Ideal Candidate Profile:

• Self-directed and high-agency — identifies what needs to be done, creates a plan, and executes without waiting to be asked.
• Doesn't freeze in ambiguity — asks the sharpest question in the room, makes a call, and moves. Ambiguity is fuel, not friction.
• Prototypes to think, not just to present — rough ideas in front of real users, early and often.
• Actively using AI and experimenting with new tools, treating them as a competitive advantage.
• Obsesses over the details — precision in design translates directly to clarity for users navigating systems with thousands of data points.
• Finds deep satisfaction in making complexity feel simple — turning dense, multi-entity data into interfaces that feel obvious in hindsight.
• Holds a high bar for what ships and follows work into production.
• Thrives in a fast-moving environment — adapts quickly, reprioritizes without friction, keeps momentum even when the ground shifts.
