Supervisory Responsibilities: • None. Duties/Responsibilities: • Collaborate with engineering and product teams to translate requirements and feedback — gathered and prioritized by the Product Owner from external users (scholars, partners) and internal stakeholders (leadership and cross-departmental teams) — into user-centered designs such as flows, wireframes, mockups, and prototypes. • Execute user experience design within the priorities set by product leadership, contributing UX insights to early-stage discussions while focusing on delivering production-ready designs. • Drive the design workflow in Figma, ensuring efficient collaboration, consistent interface patterns, and integration of the design system into the development process. • Work closely with engineering leads to align design decisions with technical realities and reduce rework. • Ensure IHS branding and tone are accurately reflected in ScholarsEdge and related digital products. • Explore novel interface solutions for complex, data-rich systems, such as interactive visualizations, advanced search tools, and multi-dimensional data exploration. • Support usability testing to validate design decisions and enhance the scholar and internal user experience. Required Skills/Qualifications: • 3+ years of UX/UI design experience in digital product or web application environments. • Bachelor’s degree in Human-Computer Interaction, Design, or related field preferred, though equivalent practical experience will be considered. • Proficiency in Figma, with experience using components, variants, auto layout, and prototyping. • Basic understanding of web technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) alongside a successful track record of collaborating with engineers. • Familiarity with design best practices, including accessibility. • Curiosity about emerging technologies, including the evolving role of AI in UX/UI workflows. • Experience designing data-heavy interfaces, AI-integrated tools, or interactive visualizations preferred. • Comfortable working in a collaborative environment where product strategy is set by leadership, with openness to expand into broader ownership of UX strategy as the platform grows. • Prior experience collaborating in Agile/Scrum environments is preferred. • Experience designing tools for research or academic communities is preferred. • Knowledge of and appreciation for classical-liberal values and the IHS mission.
