Both the Senior and Mid-level UX UI Designers play critical hands-on roles and are responsible not only for the user experience behind our digital solutions but also for contributing to the strategic thinking and processes that underpin them. Given the long-term commitment our projects or products require with clients, Designers are frequently tasked with leading specific parts of a work stream.
This necessitates the Senior UX UI Designer to possess fundamental skills to manage both themselves and their projects effectively — leading others and delivering compelling work from inception to completion throughout the process.
The Mid-level Designer should manage their projects effectively while adhering to the strategic direction from project leads.
Moreover, excellent interpersonal skills are essential for building and maintaining relationships with our clientele for both roles.
Additionally, the Senior UX UI Designer should be able to frequently travel to meet with key stakeholders, facilitate work sessions, establish rapport with internal client organization team members and technology team.
The Mid-level Designer should also be able to travel to facilitate work sessions and establish rapport with internal client organization team members and technology team.
Both roles ensure design standards remain consistently high, including a focus on delivering a good user experience across the digital ecosystem.
