Senior UX Designer

BP3 seeks a Senior UX Designer to design enterprise business software applications that meet business owners’ and end-users’ needs.

In this role, you will be working with a team of Senior UX designers at one of BP3's clients. You should be an analytical and creative UX design leader who is able to grasp user needs and solve problems quickly based on concentrated information received in short durations such as 5-day Design Sprints or 2-day Innovation Sprints. You should possess the ability to gather and comprehend business requirements as well as technical limitations. You can effectively take data from user research and translate it into sitemaps, user flows, customer journey maps, wireframes, mockups and prototypes.

A deep understanding of contemporary user-centered design methodologies, enterprise software, and working with complex experiences is a requirement. Success in the role requires an innovative mind, good leadership skills, and a passion for creating exceptional user experience. Individuals in this role must be user-focused, analytical, highly creative, with strong verbal and written communication skills. A strong portfolio of successful UX Design projects is essential.

Being based in Austin, TX is a plus, but you are able to work remotely. Occasional travel to customers' sites may be required.
