A User Interface or User Experience (UI / UX) Designer assists with technology design to make products easier for people to use. Determines user preferences and assesses the process that users follow to access product functions; develops and tests new design models, and incorporates findings in to improved product design. Researches the behavior of internet users and consumers, compiles information about the target audience for a site, and develops website layout, design and technology features that improve accessibility and value for users.
The UI/UX Designer is responsible for creating intuitive, visually appealing, and functional digital products by bridging user needs with NGA system goals. This role will be heavily involved in the end-to-end design process, from initial research and concept development to final implementation, ensuring a seamless and engaging user experience across digital products within PEO-GG.
Key responsibilities include:
In-depth user research and strategic analysis to investigate user needs, conduct usability testing, and analyze market competition, translating these findings into clear user personas and design requirements. The designer will craft interaction flows, storyboards, wireframes, and sitemaps to establish logical and intuitive navigation. Furthermore, they will be responsible for visual design, developing high-fidelity mockups, user interfaces, navigation menus, and widgets using industry-standard tools like Figma or Adobe Creative Suite, and building interactive prototypes for testing and iteration based on user feedback. Collaboration and design in conjunction with the Mission Advocacy Team is considered a best practice to ensure consistency of design and feel across PEO-GG products. Finally, this role entails close collaboration with engineering teams to ensure design feasibility and seamless implementation, contributing to the creation and maintenance of robust design systems, and conducting final UI reviews to guarantee quality and adherence to design specifications. The ability to effectively communicate design decisions and adapt to technical constraints is crucial for success.
