About The Position

Quility is seeking a lead UX/UI designer for a temporary, full-time assignment of approximately 12–16 weeks, described as a minimum of four months with the potential to extend. The designer will join a UX leader and another designer and take on active product work immediately. The role begins with UI and design-system work, then shifts toward leading user research and improving UX workflows with AI. The work supports rebuilding legacy insurance-agent tools as next-generation experiences within a consolidated product, involving complex workflows, dense data, and problems that may not yet be fully defined. The role combines delivery of high-fidelity designs, use and improvement of an existing design system, research, product strategy, engineering collaboration, and process improvement. The designer will use AI tools as part of research, synthesis, prototyping, and documentation while retaining responsibility for design judgment. They will also share techniques and document learnings so the team can continue using improvements after the assignment ends. The position works collaboratively with UX, product, engineering, and stakeholders. The team’s shared collaboration hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Eastern Time, Monday through Friday. The role operates in a professional office environment and routinely uses standard office equipment. It is largely sedentary, with access involving two sets of stairs and occasional lifting or moving of objects up to 30 pounds.
