Remote Status: On-site

🚀 Role Summary

• This role is central to the User Experience (UX) strategy for a critical retail platform, focusing on enhancing usability for store employees with diverse digital proficiencies.

• You will lead UX initiatives within a cross-functional development team, ensuring a user-centric approach from problem identification to solution delivery.

• The position emphasizes a data-driven and AI-first mindset, integrating advanced tools and methodologies throughout the design process.

• This is an opportunity to influence product direction, refine design and development practices, and significantly improve user experiences in a high-tempo, complex digital environment.

📝 Enhancement Note: While the title is "Senior UX Designer," the responsibilities and requirements suggest a role that bridges individual contributor design work with strategic influence on design processes and adoption of new technologies like AI, positioning it within a growing "Design Operations" or "Product Operations" context for UX. The emphasis on internal tools and complex environments also points towards a B2B or internal product focus.

📈 Primary Responsibilities

• Drive the end-to-end UX process within an assigned development team, encompassing problem definition, user research, concept development, interaction design, and validation.

• Collaborate closely with Product Owners and developers to articulate user needs, support prioritization decisions, and champion the user perspective in team discussions.

• Plan and execute user research activities, including user interviews, in-store observations, and usability testing, translating insights into actionable design improvements.

• Develop high-quality user flows, interaction designs, wireframes, and clickable prototypes that directly address user needs and business objectives.

• Contribute to and leverage an established design system, creating new patterns as required to ensure a cohesive and consistent user experience across multiple product teams.

• Integrate AI tools into daily workflows to enhance efficiency, elevate design quality, and promote smarter working methodologies.

• Effectively communicate and advocate for design decisions, aligning developers, Product Owners, and business stakeholders on proposed solutions and their rationale.

📝 Enhancement Note: The responsibilities highlight a blend of tactical design execution and strategic process influence. The expectation to "drive UX-work" and "contribute to how design and development are conducted" indicates a senior-level expectation beyond just task completion, including mentorship and process improvement within the team.

🎓 Skills & Qualifications

Education: While no specific degree is mandated, a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Human-Computer Interaction, Design, Psychology, or a related field is often preferred for senior UX roles. Equivalent practical experience will also be considered.

Experience: Several years of dedicated experience as a UX Designer, demonstrating a proven track record of independently managing design responsibilities within development teams.

Required Skills:

• Extensive experience across the full UX lifecycle: problem understanding, user research, concept generation, interaction design, and validation.

• Proven ability to work effectively within cross-functional teams, collaborating closely with Product Owners and developers.

• Experience designing for complex digital products with numerous features and varied use cases, ideally internal tools or B2B applications.

• High proficiency in Figma, including practical experience with established design systems and creating prototypes for user testing.

• Hands-on experience with both qualitative and quantitative user research methodologies, including interviews, usability testing, and analyzing behavioral data from tools like Hotjar.

• Demonstrated ability to integrate and regularly utilize AI tools in daily design workflows to enhance productivity and outcomes.

• Exceptional communication skills, with the ability to clearly articulate and gain buy-in for design decisions from technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• Fluency in both written and spoken Swedish and English. Preferred Skills:

• Prior experience working directly in a retail store environment.

• Familiarity with the retail, logistics, or other mission-critical operational sectors.

• A strong technical understanding that enables informed discussions about the implementation implications of design choices.

• Experience managing design efforts for a platform shared across multiple teams, balancing individual team needs with overarching product consistency.

📝 Enhancement Note: The requirement for "several years of experience" and the emphasis on independent design ownership point to a mid-to-senior level, likely 5-10 years of professional UX design experience. The mention of complex digital products and internal tools suggests a need for resilience and strategic thinking in navigating intricate systems.
