About The Position

UCCU is growing, and so is the software that supports our members and employees. This Product Designer (UX/UI) role will help us design and evolve digital experiences across the organization - starting with the corporate website and expanding to other products over time. This role sits close to delivery, so your designs will be implemented and shipped regularly. You’ll partner closely with Product Managers and Engineering to turn goals into clear, usable, accessible designs that are ready to build. Early on, a key deliverable is creating and maintaining a UCCU Design System in Figma (styles/tokens, components, and interaction states) that can be reused across products. This is a shared design role supporting multiple product areas. While the initial focus will be the website, priorities will shift over time based on roadmap needs. This role has no direct people management responsibilities.

Requirements

Bachelor’s Degree in Design, HCI, or related field, or equivalent experience.
This role requires strong product design fundamentals and practical capability across the areas below. Not every candidate will have experience with every tool or domain; the successful candidate will be able to learn quickly, collaborate closely with product and engineering partners, and deliver production-ready design work.
Ability to translate business goals into user-centered solutions using flows, wireframes, prototypes, and iterative testing/feedback.
Strong interaction design fundamentals (information architecture, navigation, usability patterns).
Ability to define and evaluate success criteria (outcomes and metrics) for design work.
Strong visual design skills (layout, typography, hierarchy, spacing, component consistency).
Experience creating or contributing to design systems/component libraries (tokens/styles, reusable components, states, documentation).
Comfort working in Figma (libraries, components/variants, styles/variables).
Ability to work effectively with Product Managers and Engineers: clarify requirements, manage tradeoffs, and keep work moving.
Strong communication skills (written and verbal) with the ability to explain design decisions and incorporate feedback.
Self-starter mindset: comfortable operating with ambiguity and building lightweight process where needed.
Working knowledge of web UX constraints and patterns (responsive design, content structure, basic HTML/CSS concepts).
Awareness of accessibility best practices and how to incorporate them into designs and acceptance criteria.
5+ years of professional product design / UX/UI experience (or equivalent portfolio demonstrating high-level ownership).
Experience designing modern web experiences end-to-end (discovery → design → implementation support → iteration).
Portfolio demonstrating strength in interaction design, visual UI, and pragmatic problem-solving (shipping work, not just concepts).
Experimentation, A/B design testing using analytics-informed design.

Nice To Haves

Accessibility training/certification, design systems coursework.
Experience in regulated industries (financial services)

Responsibilities

Own the end-to-end design process for assigned initiatives: discovery, ideation, user flows, wireframes, prototypes, visual UI, and design QA through release.
Partner with Product Managers to clarify problems, define outcomes and success metrics, and turn ideas into a prioritized design plan.
Collaborate with Engineering to produce implementation-ready designs, identify constraints early, and iterate quickly during delivery.
Build and maintain the UCCU Design System (Figma library) including tokens/styles (color, typography, spacing), components (buttons, inputs, navigation, etc.), and documented states (hover, focus, disabled, error, selected).
Improve usability and effectiveness of existing experiences through iterative enhancements informed by analytics, stakeholder input, and user feedback.
Apply accessibility best practices (e.g., contrast, focus states, keyboard navigation patterns) and promote inclusive design in workflows and acceptance criteria.
Contribute to website optimization initiatives including clarity, conversion, content structure, and performance-sensitive design decisions.
Participate in user research activities as needed (usability tests, interviews, competitive analysis) and translate findings into actionable design decisions.
Support multiple product areas as a shared resource; communicate tradeoffs and capacity constraints clearly when priorities compete.
Use AI-assisted workflows responsibly to accelerate discovery, ideation, prototyping, and research synthesis when appropriate.
Produce clear design documentation and handoff artifacts (annotations, component usage guidance, interaction notes) so Engineering can build confidently.
Maintain high collaboration standards: participate in reviews/critiques, accept feedback constructively, and help raise the design bar across products.
Works a regular and predictable schedule.
Must be sufficiently fluent in English to process work and business transactions.
