As a UI/UX Designer, you will be responsible for creating intuitive and visually stunning user interfaces while ensuring exceptional user experiences across our digital platforms. You will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams including product managers, developers, and other designers to deliver innovative solutions that meet user needs and business objectives. You will collaborate closely with stakeholders who depend on customer data, Customer Experience, Digital workplace and Infrastructure teams.

  • Ensure that UI/UX designs are accessible to users with disabilities and diverse needs. Follow accessibility standards such as WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) to design interfaces that are inclusive and usable by all users, regardless of their abilities or assistive technologies.
  • Design responsive and adaptive user interfaces that provide consistent experiences across different devices and screen sizes. Optimize designs for various platforms and browsers to ensure compatibility and performance.
  • Participate in design reviews, critiques, and iterations to refine design solutions based on feedback and user testing results. Iterate on design prototypes and implement changes based on usability testing findings to continuously improve the user experience.
  • Create design documentation, style guides, and design specifications to document design decisions and provide guidance for developers during implementation. Collaborate with developers to ensure that design assets are accurately translated into code and maintain design consistency across the product.
  • Stay informed about the latest trends, technologies, and best practices in UI/UX design. Attend conferences, workshops, and webinars to enhance your skills and knowledge and apply emerging trends and techniques to your design work.
