Translate PRDs, user stories, and functional requirements into thoughtful interface designs that account for the complexity of equity compensation workflows

Design for the full spectrum of interaction patternsin an equitymanagementSaaS platform — data entry, inline editing, bulk operations, search and filtering, drill-down navigation, scheduled job monitoring, and export/print formatting

Iterate rapidly on designs based on feedback from UX Researchers, Product Managers, Engineering, and customer input,maintaininga bias toward evidence-informed refinement over assumption

Use research insights to inform design direction,validatedesign hypotheses, and refine interfaces through iterative testing cycles

Apply domain knowledge of equity compensation workflows toanticipateuser expectations and design for scenarios that generic usability principles alone would not surface

Product Collaboration & Engineering Handoff

Partner with Product Managers across all CEM domains to understand feature requirements, business logic, and user workflows, translating complex specifications into clear, implementable interface designs

Deliver detailed design specifications and annotated mockups that provide engineering with unambiguous guidance on layout, spacing, interaction behavior,componentusage, states, error handling, and responsive breakpoints

Collaborate with front-end engineering to ensure design intent is preserved through implementation,participatingin sprint reviews, QA walkthroughs, and visual regression checks

Support the platform modernization initiative by contributing interface designs and interaction patterns thatestablishthe visual and experiential foundation for the next-generation architecture
