Title: User Experience Design Specialist
What you’ll build
We’re looking for a UX Designer with strong interaction design fundamentals, hands-on prototyping ability, and curiosity about emerging AI-assisted workflows. You’ll design polished end-to-end prototypes that help communicate product direction, validate ideas, and showcase enterprise experiences.
This role is primarily hands-on design and prototyping, with an additional emphasis on cross-functional coordination — facilitating reviews, maintaining alignment across teams, and ensuring decisions and action items move forward effectively.
Responsibilities include:
-
Design and build end-to-end prototypes for customer demos, from early concepts and flows to polished interactive experiences
-
Use modern AI-assisted prototyping tools — including Figma Make, Lovable, Claude Code, and Vercel v0 — to rapidly explore ideas and communicate solutions
-
Review product builds and collaborate with cross-functional partners throughout the product cycle to maintain quality and alignment
-
Facilitate UX review meetings, keeping discussions focused and outcomes documented
-
Act as a connector and liaison across internal and external teams, ensuring workstreams stay aligned
-
Own follow-through on action items, decisions, and resolutions across ongoing projects
What you bring
-
Bachelor's or Master's degree in Interaction Design, Product Design, UX, HCI, or a related field
-
2+ years of experience in UX, product design, or interaction design — B2B or enterprise experience preferred
-
A portfolio demonstrating end-to-end prototype and demo work that clearly communicates product value (link required)
-
Solid grounding in interaction design principles and user-centred thinking
-
Experience collaborating directly with engineering and product to bring concepts to life
-
Hands-on experience with Figma Make, Lovable, Claude Code, or Vercel v0 — or a track record of picking up new prototyping tools quickly
-
Strong communication and facilitation skills, including comfort running cross-functional meetings and coordinating across stakeholders
-
Organized and dependable in following up on decisions, tracking resolutions, and keeping workstreams aligned
-
A growth mindset: curious, adaptable, and genuinely interested in evolving your practice alongside emerging design and AI tooling
-
Familiarity with Agile or Lean UX methodologies is a plus
