Proven ability to lead experience strategy and execution for a product or platform area with minimal supervision.
Strong systems thinking skills, with experience designing shared frameworks, workflows, or patterns that scale across teams or products.
Experience working within, or for, content management or authoring experiences that have relational databases, dashboards, and complex information architecture.
Craft & Execution
High bar for interaction design, information hierarchy, and usability.
Comfortable designing detailed flows, states, and edge cases for real‑world use.
Strong proficiency with modern design tools (e.g., Figma) and design documentation practices.
Collaboration & Communication
Demonstrated ability to partner deeply with Product and Engineering.
Clear communicator who can explain design rationale and tradeoffs to technical and non‑technical audiences.

Responsibilities Experience Strategy & Problem Framing
Support and lead UX design for Portal Core, including navigation, discovery, onboarding, and shared workflow patterns that span Byte portal products.
Define and drive end‑to‑end UX across multiple concurrent workstreams, from early problem framing through delivery and iteration.
Partner with Product to shape requirements, challenge assumptions, and identify gaps or risks early.
Translate business and operational goals into coherent experience direction without over‑indexing on feature‑level design.
Design Execution & Systems Thinking
Design scalable, high‑fidelity design for data‑rich, content authoring, and workflow‑driven systems used by multiple personas.
Own end‑to‑end design across multiple Portal views and states, translating platform strategy and outcome‑driven goals into clear, scalable experience frameworks and interaction models.
Create interaction models, patterns, and frameworks that support consistency across the Portal experience.
Deliver production‑ready designs, specs, and prototypes that engineers can implement with confidence.
Cross‑Functional Collaboration
Act as the primary design partner for Portal Core Product and Engineering leads.
Facilitate design critiques, working sessions, and reviews to align across disciplines.
Communicate tradeoffs clearly, balancing usability, technical feasibility, and delivery constraints.
Ensure design intent and quality are preserved through implementation.
Quality, Accessibility, & Reliability
Design for operational environments where speed, legibility, and error recovery are critical.
Incorporate accessibility and usability best practices appropriate for shared, on‑premise systems.
Anticipate failure modes and “unhappy paths,” ensuring the system remains usable under stress or degraded conditions.
Identify experience gaps, fragmentation, or inconsistencies across the Portal and proactively drive convergence through reusable patterns and guidance.
