Job description
Role Description
As a Senior UX/UI Designer at Ecova, you will specialize in conceptualizing and implementing game-changing software products aimed at helping to solve the global energy problem. You have a deep intuition for usability, but a willingness to let go of your instincts when proven incorrect (hopefully by data). You will be joining a company and Product Team that believes in the importance of UX and UI design and is excited to collaborate with a creative expert who can explore complex problems, listen to customers, and iterate until compelling solutions are found.
This role requires strong communication skills and experience with an iterative design process. You love receiving feedback, launching quickly and testing hypotheses on a regular basis. You will report to the VP of Products.
Responsibilities:
- Leading a user-centered research and design process that includes user research, personas, context scenarios, rapid prototyping, and user testing where appropriate
- Working closely with users, product management, marketing and the software team to make sure the best possible user experience is delivered to our users
- Verbally and graphically communicating designs, decisions and reasoning with clarity, data and confidence
- Developing and promoting UI design guidelines, style guides, best practices and standards
- Communicating your designs in terms of users and advocating your direction with the product and engineering teams
- Other duties as directed
Qualifications:
The Senior UX/UI Designer will have 3+ years of relevant experience designing complex web applications. As a champion for the user, you know that amazing designs start with a solid foundation on research, user journeys, and empathy for the user. You ask “why” and “how” before executing on a solution. We're innovating continuously on all levels and we will be looking for you to do the same, as we are on a mission to fundamentally change the world! Additional desired attributes include:
- Experience designing a B2B SaaS solution in a startup environment
- Expert knowledge of wireframing/prototyping tools such as Axure RP, Omnigraffle, Balsamiq, InVision, or others
- Experience in Photoshop, Illustrator, and/or Sketch
- Deep intuition for usability, but a willingness to conduct user interviews and usability studies and let go of your instincts when proven incorrect
- Ability to analyze product performance based on behavioral data from web analytics tools, e.g. Google Analytics, Omniture, etc.
- Desire to contribute to our team culture through your unique personality and hobbies (when applying, tell us the last thing you did for fun) Twitter | LinkedIn | Facebook | Blog | Videos | Webinars
