Responsibilities
- End-to-End Product Design: Lead the design stream on client engagements—from early discovery and UX architecture (wireframes, user flows) to high fidelity UI design, interactive prototyping, and design system creation
- Integrate Insights into Design: Conduct lightweight user research, usability testing, and evaluative synthesis, or partner closely with research teams to translate insights into actionable design solutions and product roadmaps
- Client Consultation & Facilitation: Act as a trusted advisor to client stakeholders. Lead co-creation sessions, design sprints, and alignment workshops to build consensus and drive design-led business outcomes
- Agile Integration: Drive the design process throughout discovery and delivery, ensuring seamless collaboration with Product Managers, Business Analysts, and US/offshore engineering teams in agile workflows
- Pre-Sales & Strategy: Partner with presales and account teams to shape design scopes, pitch product visions, and estimate design efforts for prospective client engagements
- Practice Growth: Contribute to the internal design practice—mentoring junior team members, refining internal design guidelines, and evolving our product design methodologies
Skills
- 6+ years of hands-on product design experience (UX/UI) within a agency, consultancy, or fast-paced digital product environment
- Dual UX/UI Mastery: Strong portfolio demonstrating the full product design lifecycle—user flows, information architecture, wireframing, polished visual UI, interaction design, and design systems
- Consulting & Stakeholder Presence: Exceptional communication, storytelling, and client-facing skills. Proven ability to articulate design rationale, manage stakeholder expectations, and negotiate priorities
- Facilitation Expertise: Experienced in leading workshops, design sprints, and discovery sessions that spark alignment and creative problem-solving
- Research-Informed Mindset: Comfortable conducting lightweight qualitative research, running usability tests (e.g., via Maze, Figma), and leveraging analytics to validate concepts rather than relying on guesswork
- Tooling Proficiency: Deep expertise in industry-standard tools (Figma, modern prototyping tools, token-driven design systems, and tools like Dovetail or Miro)
- Self-Directed Ownership: Thrives in autonomous, ambiguous consulting environments; capable of driving the design agenda forward on client accounts with minimal direction
- Developer Hand-Off: Strong track record collaborating with front-end engineers, delivering clean specs, component libraries, and maintaining QA integrity during build phases
- Experience in Healthcare, Fintech / Banking, or highly regulated industries
- Familiarity with design tokens, component-driven development, or basic front-end constraints (HTML/CSS/JS/React)
- Experience designing AI-integrated interfaces or workflows
- Background participating in client pitches, scoping proposals, and pre-sales activities
Benefits
- Strong community: Work alongside top professionals in a friendly, open-door environment
- Growth focus: Take on large-scale projects with a global impact and expand your expertise
