UX Design Lead

Can you bring creative human-centred ideas to life and make great things happen beyond what meets the eye? 

We believe in teamwork, fun, complex projects, and simple solutions. How about you? We’re looking for a talent and likeminded UX Design Lead with the experience, passion, and skills to help us rid the world of crappy design – one project at a time.

Would you like to…?

• Streamline flows, reduce cognitive load, and improve data consumption for end users.
• Leverage the mature design system without reinventing the wheel
• Work systematically with complex business processes and align them with strategic direction, user insights and opportunity spaces, and transform these into powerful concepts and designs ready for implementation
• Produce storyboards, scenarios, user flows, wireframes, design prototypes and UI specifications
• Clearly communicate and present the work and run workshops with clients
• Collaborate with other Designits, clients, and third parties to ensure design intent throughout the development
• Manage client relationship, support sales activities and identify user-focused business opportunities
• Manage,mentor, support and inspire other designers, some of whom will report to you. Share your knowledge on UX/UI methods, tools and trends with the rest of your colleagues in the BLR studio and around the world, and help others grow
• Scope, plan, and lead UX activities from initial requirements to concept, interaction design and development 

We would like you to have...

• At least 8 years of relevant experience with expertise in Interaction Design, Information Architecture, and analytical thinking.
• A Bachelor's or Master's degree in design from design Institutes like NID, MIT, Pearl, Srishti, Pearl, Symbiosis, NIFT, etc
• Experience scoping, planning, and leading UX activities from initial requirements to the concept, interaction design and development
• Experience creating user journeys, prototypes and detailed wireframes, with a keen eye for user experience. 
• Experience in increasing design creation and delivery responsibility, a diverse portfolio, top-notch team/collaboration skills, excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Quick learning abilities with a unique perspective.
• Not solely focused on visuals (though that’s a plus)
• Banking/financial services domain experience would be an add-on
• Experience conducting existing software UX evaluation and developing improved designs through rapid prototyping, iterations, and user validation.
• Hands-on capability to create dynamic wireframes, mockups, and prototypes that illustrate site layout, navigation, controls, and content prioritization
• Deep understanding of a multi-device world with demonstrable experience creating and delivering for mobile, responsive design, tab, and surface formats that aligns with user friendly experience and design principles. 
• Toolkit proficiency: Expert level with tools such as Figma, Photoshop, Illustrator, Sketch, Axure, and other prototyping tools.
• A ‘here to help’ attitude, who absolutely, fundamentally believes that we’re better together
• Comfortable working with colleagues from other disciplines like service design, business design or design research.
