Our client operates in a dynamic, startup-like environment that emphasizes innovation, flexibility, agility, scalability, and customer-centricity. As a global team, we collaborate closely with both internal and external groups to develop enterprise solutions. The team is composed of individuals who are enthusiastic, friendly, and supportive, with a mix of experience levels and tenures. We are committed to fostering an environment that celebrates knowledge sharing, mentorship, and high-quality work. We are excited to build and launch new solutions from the ground up together as one unified team. Given our rapid growth, we are currently seeking a UX Designer to drive the vision, definition, and design of enterprise software and services across a variety of devices.

In this highly visible role, you will tackle some of the most challenging opportunities in the tech sector today.

Successful performance in this role may lead to an extension of the position and consideration for conversion to a full-time employee.

This role is both challenging and rewarding, providing significant impact on our business through the invention and delivery of customer-focused solutions at scale. You must be responsive, flexible, and capable of thriving in an open and collaborative environment. Leadership in projects and navigating complexity and ambiguity are critical aspects of this position.
