We are currently seeking a UX/UI Designer to further develop our Design System enabling product teams to adhere to it and enhance the usability of our diverse portfolio of applications.
Your responsibilities
- Develop and maintain UI design patterns, components and style guides required by our product teams (for example in the context of the on-going projects to rebuild APT, Public Outreach or EDH) and integrate them in the Design System.
- Collaborate with UX colleagues to propose the governance model of the Design System to be approved by BC Management.
- Support the adoption of the Design System across product teams.
- Design wireframes, prototypes, and user interfaces for web-based and mobile applications.
- Implement user-centred design principles to create intuitive and visually appealing interfaces.
- Conduct user research, usability testing, and gather feedback to iterate and improve designs.
- Work closely with developers to implement designs and ensure design integrity throughout the development process.
Your profile
- Experience in designing end-to-end user interfaces, from early concepts to validated designs.
- Experience in collaborating with cross-functional teams (Product Managers, Developers, Business Analysts).
- Experience in applying user research or usability testing methods to validate design decisions.
- Experience in agile frameworks by incorporating early feedback from users, stakeholders and developers in design deliverables.
- Experience with documenting and presenting design work to stakeholders.
