Position summary

As a Senior Product Designer, designing beautiful experiences that meet the needs of real people will attract you to this role.  You'll work with a group of passionate, cross-functional people in a highly collaborative, fast paced environment. You'll play a key role in supporting the transformation of our digital experience, ensuring users seamlessly navigate through and interact with our digital ecosystem – which wraps around our in-product experience.

 

Human-centred-design will be the backbone of your expertise and you’ll be at ease designing simple and usable product solutions that solve complex customer problems. You will possess a unique blend of expertise across both UX and UI design, which means you will have a comprehensive understanding of user-centred design principles, coupled with a keen eye for crafting visually stunning interfaces – bringing a holistic approach to product design.   

 

 Responsibilities

• Advocate for Human-Centred Design, ensuring projects prioritise user needs and experiences.  

• Lead the end-to-end design process, from conceptualisation to delivery, ensuring a seamless and delightful user experience.  

• Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, including Product Managers, Engineers, other Designers, and subject-matter-experts to translate business goals into intuitive and visually appealing design solutions.  

• Use storytelling and communication for transparent collaboration through design processes.  

• Facilitate cross functional team workshops – bringing everyone together at key points in the process and around key decisions.  

• Stay updated on industry trends, emerging technologies, and design best practices, integrating them into our design processes.  

• Mentor and provide guidance to junior designers, fostering a collaborative and innovative design culture within the team.  

  

Discovery & problem definition  

• Engage in cross-functional discovery to understand customer needs and context to elevate the experience and differentiate our digital products.  

• Conduct user research, analyse feedback, and integrate insights to inform design decisions, ensuring products meet user needs and expectations.  

• Perform desk research including domain and competitor analysis, interaction/design trends and 'best of' examples.  

• Analyse relevant considerations such as research insights, product strategy and roadmaps, technical environment and constraints to ensure designs are business viable.  

• Own the creation of personas, journey maps, user flows, wireframes, and design specifications.  

• Take ideas and concepts and visualise them compellingly for various stakeholders.  

• Foster consensus among teams while identifying and addressing risks and roadblocks.  

• Contribute to the definition and articulation of ‘the problem’ – challenging assumptions and 'pre-set' thinking around solutions, agreeing the purpose, principles and vision.  

  

Develop & deliver user-centred solutions   

• Develop phased design solutions that bridge the gap between current patterns, Bentley's design systems and other relevant constraints and considerations.  

• Use customer insights to create innovative low-fidelity wireframes that lead to hi-fidelity interfaces, which articulate the components, journeys and elements requires to solve the customer challenge.  

• Collaborate with other designers, product teams and engineers to test ideas, share challenges, provide feedback and build quality in your practice.
