Lead UX Designer - UI Lead Designer

We are seeking an experienced and creative UI Design Lead to join our multidisciplinary Web Experience team and take responsibility for developing, evolving and delivering best-in-class visual and interaction design across our ecosystem of websites. 

This role is part of our Global Marketing function within the global Customer organization of HERE Technologies. Based in Mumbai, India, you’ll become part of an international cross-functional group that strategically and operationally runs our ecosystem of websites, with HERE.com being the main hub for inspiring and educating audiences about our offering, generating buyer demand, and providing a self-serve entry into the HERE platform. 

You’ll work in a team of highly talented, creative professionals who are at the center of web experience for HERE, focusing on technology topics ranging from Automotive to Fleet Management and Supply Chains.

We’ll count on you to be the go-to expert for UI craft excellence, helping to establish and maintain design standards, reusable components and patterns, and clear definitions of quality to ensure our suite of websites deliver consistent, accessible and compelling user experiences. We’ll also expect you to be enthusiastic about being hands-on, using a sprint-based, agile approach, while providing guidance and mentorship to fellow designers without direct line management responsibility.

• Collaborate closely with subject matter experts to understand business goals and draw out strong customer-facing user experiences.
• Foster an integrated and collaborative approach to UI requirements before translating aspects of HERE into compelling, clear stories and offers.
• Contribute to the growth of design maturity across the organization by identifying gaps, improving ways of working and proactively driving quality improvements.
• Lead with excellent communication and storytelling skills, helping colleagues and stakeholders understand the why behind design decisions.
• Help ensure our website experiences are accessible, inclusive and aligned with HERE Design System principles, quality standards and Brand strategy.
