What you’ll do

This UX Designer role will be focused on operationalizing TRANZACT's complex internal processes into robust and efficient software tools, reporting to the leader of UX for our internal products. A successful candidate will be someone who can operate with autonomy and lead the discovery, ideation, and design of new efforts. Strong UI skills are essential, but more emphasis will be on identifying and solving problems the business and its users face. This includes delivering iteratively with quick wins that drive value to the users and the company while aiming at an overall strategic product vision. UX is a growing discipline at TRANZACT, with a focus from the top-down on building an intuitive and powerful software suite that enables our internal teams to be outfitted with the best tools for the job. This position will be one of the early hires for the UX Team, giving it much influence on design systems, processes, and much more as we develop the UX practice at TRANZACT.

To be successful in this role, you must be comfortable working across globally distributed teams and domains to drive UX influence on projects. Be passionate about taking complex requirements and visualizing a simple and elegant user experience in our enterprise software tools. Collaborate with internal stakeholders and users to understand the needs and propose thoughtful approaches to addressing key challenges. UX and our developing Product Management Teamwork hand-in-hand, meaning that you are working early on to influence features and requirements rather than being handed instructions. Our team values inclusion, diversity, and collaboration and fosters ongoing personal and professional development. This role allows the ideal candidate to evolve their career and grow with TRANZACT.

• Developing and presenting UX deliverables, including sketches, wireframes, prototypes, and visual designs
• Using product requirements, technical limitations, and user knowledge to create thoughtful and practical designs.
• Working daily with globally distributed development teams to see the designs brought to life.
• Keeping up to date on new technologies and UX trends.
• Maintaining the highest level of ethics and empathy in your design work that promotes inclusion, diversity, and creativity
