·       Partner with product management, customers, and system analysts to gather requirements, articulate user needs, and translate those needs into innovative concepts and refined interface designs.

·       Understand and balance both the larger project goals and detailed design elements to ensure cohesive, goal-driven work.

·       Work creatively within constraints such as technical limitations, tight timelines, and customer feedback to deliver effective design solutions.

·       Define interaction models, user task flows, and detailed UI specifications that guide development teams.

·       Design application user interfaces, including information architecture and interaction design tailored for both desktop and mobile environments.

·       Communicate design scenarios, end-to-end user experiences, interaction models, and screen designs clearly to stakeholders at all levels.

·       Evaluate existing user experiences and identify opportunities for enhancement and optimization.

·       Participate in user testing sessions and conduct customer interviews to gather relevant feedback and insights.

·       Attend collaborative meetings and workshops bridging management, development teams, and external partners to ensure alignment and shared understanding.

·       Meet with business clients and developers to collect requirements and verify design feasibility and technical implementation.

·       Research cutting-edge UI design and development techniques to discover innovative and elegant solutions for complex interface challenges.

·       Mentor and guide other UX and graphic designers or contractors as appropriate to project needs to maintain design consistency and coherence across products.

·       Produce comprehensive design documentation to effectively communicate design rationale to clients and development teams.

·       Create UI resources such as user flows, wireframes, style guides, visual assets, audio/video elements, and supportive help documentation.

·       Test application UIs to ensure accurate implementation, identify and document bugs or discrepancies, and enter detailed bug reports into DevOps or the designated issue-tracking system for resolution.

·       Engage in software evaluation through data analytics by formulating insightful questions related to user behavior for monitoring and reporting.

·       Work as an integral member of Agile software development Product/Feature teams, actively participating in daily SCRUM meetings, sprint planning, sprint reviews, and retrospective sessions.

Desired Qualifications:

·       Bachelor’s in Human-Computer Interaction, Interaction Design, Graphic Design, Computer Science, or a related field is required.

·       Minimum Five years related experience.

·       Working knowledge of standard UX design and prototyping tools such as Figma, Adobe XD, Sketch, Axure, or similar platforms.

·       Experience with Digital Design.

·       Solid understanding of interaction design, wireframing, user flows, and information architecture
