Senior User Experience Designer

OAL is responsible for designing, implementing, running, and improving nearly all of Oracle’s Enterprise Applications, including CRM, HCM, ERP/Financials, to name a few.  We use Oracle's own real-life business requirements as a "test bed" for innovation. We often race out ahead of standard product and build extensions or custom applications to meet the needs of Oracle employees. Once proven, our ideas and innovations may find their way back into core product. We also ensure that Oracle is always Oracle’s best reference for our enterprise applications.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Responsibilities:</strong></p> <p>The Designer will work closely with OAL UX, Global Engineering and Business teams to define, design, and deliver elegant solutions to business problems.
