Senior UX Designer

Senior UX Designer

The Senior UX Designer (UX Focus) is a user-centered practitioner responsible for user research, experience definition, and interaction design across client engagements. You help teams understand users, define the right experience, and turn that direction into artifacts engineers can build. At this level, you translate user insights into clear UX direction and buildable artifacts that help delivery teams ship intuitive, scalable solutions. You keep UX work connected to delivery by aligning with team cadence, surfacing risks early, and validating designs through feedback and testing.
