The Technical Product Designer is responsible for translating technical product strategy and user needs into intuitive, effective digital experiences, by designing end-to-end user experiences that align to technical product roadmaps, ensure usability, and drive adoption. Technical Product Designers bridge the gap between an initial idea and the final market launch by building early mock-ups and interactive prototypes to test functionality and gather feedback, prior to technical product teams engaging.

• Experience building or configuring web experiences in Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) or a comparable enterprise content management or digital experience platform, including content authoring, templates, components, and workflow management.
• Strong understanding of platform capabilities and constraints, with the ability to determine when business needs can be met through existing functionality versus requiring new components or technical enhancements.
• Demonstrated experience developing and maintaining design systems, component libraries, and UX standards to ensure scalable and consistent user experiences.
• Strong knowledge of user-centered design, accessibility, usability testing, and data-informed design practices, with excellent collaboration, communication, and problem-solving skills across cross-functional teams.
