We are looking for a Sr UX Designer to join our team. The ideal candidate will be strong in core, foundational design thinking and UX skills like user research, strategy, design & prototyping, developer handoff, and usability testing. As this role will lead design for one of our main product areas focused on data analytics and data visualizations, we are looking for someone with experience designing for data heavy tools. 

The ideal designer is someone with an experimental mindset who is adaptable and can quickly pivot based on user research, is comfortable context switching, can balance strategy with rapid execution, and thrives in ambiguity. This role will have the opportunity to build upon existing products, as well as lead design for 0-to-1 products and features. 

Responsibilities

• Partner with product and engineering to define requirements and new features, not just translate requirements into designs
• Work cross-functionally to deliver and refine clear storytelling around user needs and opportunities
• Contribute to overall strategy and decision-making about product direction
• Lead user interviews with new and existing customers, synthesizing takeaways so that the team can build/test/learn quickly and efficiently
• Obsess over our user's needs and current experience with the product by conducting frequent usability studies for existing and proposed solutions, and continual testing of the product yourself, to always strive for better experience for our users 
• Build wireframes and prototypes, partner with engineering to ensure shipped features meet our high quality bar 
• Act as an advocate for user-centered product design processes throughout the organization, leading workshops and sharing your perspective on user-centered design through articles, resources, etc.

Qualifications

• 5 years of experience in UX design, preferably at early stage companies or on 0-to-1 products 
• Strength in core, foundational design thinking and UX skills
• Experience designing for data visualization/analytic tools or similar data-heavy products
• Experience conducting user research and enjoys talking to users (e.g. leading interviews, writing surveys, conducting usability tests, and synthesizing feedback)
• Comfortable in a scrappy, self starter environment (this will be the second designer on a team of <20 product/eng/design folks)
• Adaptability and agility (e.g. can quickly pivot based on user research and feedback, comfortable context switching, balancing strategy with rapid execution, knows how to prioritize)
• Is curious, takes initiative, believes in “progress over perfection”, and is excited to shape ambiguous problem spaces into clear goals
• Experience working with design systems and collaborating with the team to define component specs, guidelines, and documentation
