TECHEAD | 11334 | AS
UI Designer
Richmond, Virginia - Contract Role

TECHEAD is seeking a UI Designer to join our team. As a UI Designer your tasks will include but may not be limited to:

Responsibilities:
• Ideating and thinking critically about how users interact with conversational
messaging and voice-enabled user interfaces. From design sprints to team
exploration you'll be brainstorming, sketching, and wire-framing your ideas. You
will be contributing to positive change customers’ expectations on what their
bank can do for them.
• Iterating on your designs, informed by user research. You'll be learning about
people and how they interact with money, and designing products to meet those
needs. Design thinking isn't just a buzzword, it means placing customers first and
adapting as you learn.
• Analyzing customer data, and watching market trends for conversational
interfaces and Artificial Intelligence. We’re using data from our customers and
potential customers to define the future of our messaging products, from Alexa to
Cortana to bots and beyond. And you’ll use this data to inform how you design for
those products.
• Co-creating content with some of the best product managers, content strategists,
researchers, engineers, and other partners in the industry. Together, you’re
designing an entire ecosystem of messaging products and conversational
interfaces, so it’s super crucial you’re a collaborative, inclusive person.
• Designing more than just user interface layouts with visual polish. You'll be
creating user flows, customer journeys, and user interactions with one purpose
in mind: conversational interaction for both voice and screen. Tackling complex
problems will be a regular activity, designing intuitive user-centered experiences.
• Prototyping your ideas and product needs using whichever tool is most
expedient. In browser or out, you'll take care to provide highly accurate and
technically feasible prototypes that will be used and shared regularly. A prototype
is worth a thousand meetings, and yours will help expedite the design and product
development cycle.
• Shipping is a more than just agile development processes. All your work is
grounded in what we'll deliver to our customers, but you'll push product designs to
the farthest reaches of their potential. As part of a sprint team, you'll meet daily to
tackle user needs together and provide creative solutions while balancing
development best practices.
