Company mission
To empower Financial Services by delivering cutting-edge, AI-powered solutions that streamline operations and drive innovation.
Role
Who you are
- Mission-Driven Team Player: You are open to stakeholder feedback and willing to set your ego aside to build the best possible product solutions
- T-Shaped Designer: You can deliver on both extremes—developing high-level conceptual strategies as well as delivering neat, delightful, pixel-perfect designs ready for implementation
- Research-Minded: You believe that great design is founded on data and human insight, not just intuition
- Effective Communicator: You are a design evangelist fluent in English (written and spoken), eager to continue building the Design culture inside Unique. (Proficiency in German is a plus for client communication)
- Experience: 5+ years in UX/UI design with a strong portfolio. Experience designing for FinTech, Cyber Security, or complex enterprise-grade solutions is highly preferred over generic SaaS experience
- Education: Bachelor’s degree in Design, Human-Computer Interaction, Psychology, or a related field
- UXR Expertise: Proven experience planning and conducting user research. You should be comfortable writing discussion guides, facilitating user sessions, and presenting findings to stakeholders
- Tool Proficiency: Expert in Figma for high-fidelity designs and prototyping tools (e.g., Balsamiq, Figma prototypes) for wireframing
- Modular Thinking: Ability to design scalable components that fit into a modular system rather than just standalone pages
- Technical Understanding: Strong understanding of user-centered design principles and responsive/mobile design. Knowledge of HTML/CSS is a plus to bridge the gap with developers
- Agile Mindset: Ability to work in a fast-paced environment and manage multiple projects simultaneously
What the job involves
- We are seeking a Senior UX/UI Designer with a strong passion for building innovative product experiences that make people’s work easier and more efficient. By helping us design Unique AI, our modular, security-first AI solution for finance, you will help shape how Generative AI improves daily workflows in the Financial Service Industry
- You will play a pivotal role in helping financial professionals automate repetitive tasks and gain more time for value-generating activities. This role offers the opportunity to apply your design craft to an industry hungry for digital innovation, leveraging the most advanced technologies to create secure, scalable experiences
- Lead the design process from concept to final implementation, focusing on delivering modular solutions that drive efficiency while maintaining strict security standards
- Create wireframes, prototypes, and high-fidelity mockups to effectively communicate visions and help stakeholders align on complex product solutions
- Collaborate closely with customer success, product managers, and developers to ensure designs are feasible, secure, and aligned with business goals
- Expand our design systems and style guides to ensure consistency across the modular architecture of the Unique Brand
- Marketing Support: Occasionally support our Marketing and Sales team by providing key UI assets for product-marketing content
- Lead end-to-end user research: Define research goals, recruit participants from our client base, and select appropriate methods (interviews, usability testing, contextual inquiry, or surveys)
- Synthesize insights: Translate complex user feedback and behavioral data into actionable design improvements and strategic product recommendations
- Validate concepts: Conduct iterative testing on prototypes to validate the usability of new modules before development, ensuring they meet the specific needs of financial professionals
