This squad builds and maintains strategic integrations and partnerships that extend the Risk Cloud ecosystem. You'll define how Risk Cloud connects with the tools our customers rely on, and how this ecosystem of data powers the next generation of AI capabilities across the platform.
We are looking for someone that has cross-functional collaboration built into their DNA. A person that knows partnering with all business units and functions is essential to generating the best work and product experience. Someone that believes user feedback is a core tenet of product design. Someone who is humble, but confident enough to lead an initiative from discovery to launch.
The ideal candidate is someone that gets excited by the prospect of solving new and difficult challenges, motivated by the prospect of taking a complex product and transforming it into a simple, trustworthy experience. You are a strong communicator and creative problem-solver that loves to iterate and try new approaches to meet your user's needs. You take pride in your craft and enjoy contributing. You are able to focus on the greater goal, but also pay attention to the details of your work. You thrive in an open, collaborative environment, valuing different perspectives from your teammates, in addition to cross-functional and external feedback.
You will not only have the opportunity to make a huge impact on the platform, but also in building the design function and work culture at LogicGate.
How you'll spend your time:
* Guiding features and initiatives across integrations and automation projects from kick-off to launch, defining what should be built, why, and how.
* Collaborating with designers, product managers, engineers, QA analysts, and integrations services to deliver quality software that enables our customers to seamlessly integrate their workflows and tools with our software and data management processes.
* Learning directly from and advocating for all users, acting as a champion for providing an optimal product experience.
* Conducting hands-on research, leveraging both qualitative and quantitative methodologies, synthesizing different inputs to inform solutions balanced with the needs of the business.
* Being an advocate for best practices around user experience (information hierarchy, accessibility, interactions, and visual design) and contributing to the team's practice/processes.
* Defining and refining solutions through a variety of methods: user flows, wireframes, high-fidelity mock-ups, prototypes (as needed).
* Being responsible for providing Engineers with any assets or resources needed during development, user acceptance testing, and launch.
* Contributing to our ever-evolving processes and principles. Everyone has a stake in the way we grow together.
We get excited about you if you have:
* Strong communication skills. You should be comfortable articulating your thoughts, opinions, and decisions around your work and how we work together.
* Have led or been a key Designer on a team, capable of establishing what success looks like for your initiatives.
* Have worked on products or product lines that serve a mix of external user types and internal users.
* Experience designing interfaces for complex systems and digital products.
* An understanding of how data flows enable AI and automation
* Comfortable taking considerations from fellow Designers and others cross-functionally.
* High attention to detail, including proven ability to manage multiple, competing priorities simultaneously.
* Familiarity with accessibility practices, and incorporate compliance to WCAG 2.2 standards in your work and priorities.
* Experience contributing to a maturing design system.
* Effective in a self-motivated environment to proactively ask or gather the information you need to complete your work efficiently.
* Very competent in Figma, or similar design tools.
* Very competent with a prototyping tool.
* Some experience running design-focused exercises and studies such as: usability studies, preference tests, tree tests, or card sorts.
* A minimum of 3 years experience designing usable experiences. Consumer-focused products are a nice-to-have, but past experience working on a complex or technical B2B product is essential. You preferably have been in-house at a high-growth startup, or on a squad with a single product or individual product line at a larger company.
* An online portfolio or case studies demonstrating your involvement crafting great user-centered design solutions from discovery to launch. This is required for consideration.
