Job Summary

iF is looking for a Senior UX Designer with a hybrid interaction/visual design skillset. iF has a small team of graphic designers, but occasionally takes on more complex UX project work and needs a Senior Designer to help oversee those projects and create the necessary design assets. You will partner closely with our TPM and Design Director but also be expected to recommend project scopes & processes, as well as collaborate and present to clients as the design lead.
Our search is for a Designer who is able to create practical small-to-medium sized (in complexity) websites, and digital product concepts using screen comps, basic site/app architecture, light clickable prototypes, and UI component sets. While we may not need detailed production or development skills for our upcoming projects, the Designer should be able to partner with our TPM and with clients to ensure that design concepts are practical, buildable, and follow any technical or scope constraints the client may have.
Strong organizational, time management, and client collaboration skills are a requirement. Experience and comfort being client-facing with design projects as part of a studio, consultancy, or in-house team is also required. The ideal Designer will have a fluency in methodologies for user-centric processes. This position reports to the Design Director. We welcome non-traditional paths into your current career: iF is full of people with unique backgrounds and experiences.

Responsibilities and Duties

  • Define and communicate user needs through lightweight user research, storyboards, and user journeys
  • Create user experience guidelines and UI specification documentation based on user research or client requirements
  • Present design work to the product team, engineering team, executives, and external partners for review and feedback
  • Define products through diagrams, wireframes, user flows and visual screen comps
  • Build and test prototypes to demonstrate and improve interactive behavior
  • Function at both the strategic and tactical levels while working independently or with user researchers to turn observational and other data into creative solutions

Qualifications and Skills

  • 2-5 years professional experience as a UX designer (ideally with both interaction and visual design experience)
  • Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience in Product Design, Interaction/UX Design or related field
  • Ability to conceive of and envision UX concepts without tightly defined requirements or product definition/direction
  • Experience creating detailed concepts and interaction design specifications including visual screen mockups, wireframing and light prototypes
  • Proactive and strategic problem-solving skills with a meticulous attention to detail
  • Working proficiency with modern UX tools that cover concepting and interaction prototyping — Figma, Lottie, Webflow, Adobe Creative Suite, or similar
  • Working proficiency with modern communication and presentation tools such as Miro, FigJam, PPT, AirTable, Zoom/Slack/Teams.

All candidates will be asked to present a design portfolio demonstrating professional design project work, ideally as a design consultant to clients. Strong creative skills, the ability to generate compelling ideas, and a deep understanding of the design process are mandatory.

Imagination- We seek out new perspectives, creative approaches, and novel solutions.
