Requirements

Experience designing for data-heavy, workflow-driven, or B2B/enterprise software — insurance, financial services, or other similar industries a strong plus
A portfolio demonstrating strong UI craft alongside clear UX thinking, especially for dashboards, tables, or analytical interfaces
Comfort working directly with non-design stakeholders (e.g., Business Product Owners, subject matter experts) to gather and interpret requirements
Ability to manage design work across multiple products or workstreams at once
Strong prototyping skills (Figma or equivalent) and familiarity with contributing to or working within a design system
A collaborative approach to working with product managers and engineers throughout the development lifecycle
Clear communication and product driven skills — able to explain design decisions and trade-offs to both design and non-design audiences

Responsibilities

Design end-to-end UI/UX for multiple analytical products, from early concept through polished, production-ready interfaces
Partner closely with Business Product Owners to envision initial idea mapping, refine varying needs across multiple stakeholders through reviews and craft out intuitive, well-structured designs
Create wireframes, prototypes, and high-fidelity mockups that make complex data — tables, charts, risk scores, and multi-variable comparisons — easy to scan, interpret, and act on
Establish and maintain design consistency across a portfolio of products through shared patterns, components, and a scalable design system
Conduct or participate in user research and usability testing with agency, marketing, underwriting and other insurance professionals to validate design decisions
Collaborate with engineering to ensure designs are technically feasible and implemented with fidelity
Use both qualitative feedback and quantitative product data to inform design rationale and prioritize improvements
Present design work and rationale clearly to cross-functional stakeholders, including non-design partners in the business
