SUMMARY: The Mid-Sr. Designer for Global Navigation and Search supports the Unified Experience (UE) Core portfolio at Lilly. Operating as a flexible individual contributor, this role shifts dynamically between Global Navigation and Search initiatives based on evolving business priorities and product capacity. The position balances high-fidelity visual execution with strategic UX problem-solving, maintaining connective cohesion across primary user journeys and actively contributing reusable navigation and search patterns back into the global design system.
PRIMARY DUTIES:
- Deliver end-to-end user experience and visual design solutions for Global Navigation and Search surfaces based on priorities set by UE Core leadership.
- Transition fluidly between navigation and search workstreams as team capacity and business needs shift, rather than managing a single fixed digital property.
- Collaborate closely with respective surface design leads on complex UX challenges, interface architecture, and visual craft.
- Maintain cross-surface visual and interaction consistency between navigation and search components, preserving their shared connective role across the user journey.
- Partner with the design system team in a contribution-based model to feed search- and navigation-specific UI patterns, components, and documentation back into the design system.
- Ramp up rapidly on existing research, context, and technical constraints when shifting between workstreams.
COMPENTENCY:
- Context Fluidity & Adaptability: Thrives in ambiguous environments, quickly context-switching between different core surfaces without loss of quality or momentum.
- Design Craft & Execution: Demonstrates balance across visual UI detail, interaction design, and holistic UX problem-solving.
- Systemic Thinking: Identifies overlapping patterns across surfaces to drive consistency and scale solutions through system-level thinking.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partners seamlessly across design leads, product teams, engineering leads, and design system maintainers in a contribution-based model.
QUALIFICATIONS / REQUIRED EDUCATION:
- Bachelor’s degree in Design, Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Interaction Design, Fine Arts, or equivalent practical design experience.
Required:
- Comprehensive digital design portfolio demonstrating solid visual craft alongside end-to-end UX problem-solving processes.
- High comfort level with ambiguity, shifting team priorities, and rapid context-switching.
- Demonstrated capability to quickly absorb context, domain logic, and user requirements when entering new workstreams.
- Proficiency with modern design and prototyping tools (e.g., Figma).
- Experience operating within a collaborative, contribution-based design system workflow.
Preferred:
- Prior experience designing enterprise search interfaces, discovery experiences, or global header/footer navigation structures at scale.
- Familiarity with complex digital ecosystem implementations within healthcare, life sciences, or regulated enterprise environments.
- Understanding of accessibility standards (WCAG 2.1 AA) and modular content structures.
EXPERIENCE:
- 3–6+ years of digital product design experience (UI/UX) across enterprise, complex web applications, or large-scale digital ecosystems.
- Proven experience working within context-shifting or embedded agency/consulting models where priorities evolve rapidly.
- Demonstrated experience contributing directly to component-based design systems and shared pattern libraries.
LANGUAGE SKILLS: Professional verbal and written English communication skills. Ability to articulate complex design decisions clearly to non-design executives, engineering leads, and business stakeholders.
PHYSICAL DEMANDS: Remote. Regular use of hands and fingers to operate a computer, keyboard, mouse, and other office equipment, including repetitive motions such as typing, scrolling, and mouse use. Ability to communicate effectively and understand verbal communication in person, by telephone, and through video conferencing or other remote communication tools. Ability to view and read information on computer screens and printed materials, including the ability to adjust focus. The position requires prolonged periods of computer use and viewing a computer screen.
WORK ENVIRONMENT: Remote
EXPECTED HOURS OF WORK: Monday through Friday, normal business hours.
TRAVEL: Occasional travel to company headquarters for conference/workshops
