About the role
- Our client is a Tech/Family Office company serving the investments, foundations, and activities of a prominent family.
- With a broad mandate, the organization oversees diverse assets and programs, including multiple foundations and institutes.
- This is not a role for someone who needs every requirement handed to them.
Responsibilities
- Own Design End-to-End: Lead UX/UI design for enterprise class applications independently from discovery through delivery - conducting research, producing user flows, wireframes, interactive prototypes, and pixel-precise high-fidelity mockups in Figma with minimal supervision.
- Drive Clarity from Ambiguity: When requirements are vague, competing, or incomplete - step in to facilitate, ask the sharpest questions, and define a path forward.
- Translate fuzzy business needs into crisp design briefs by showing stakeholders options, not asking open- ended questions.
- Design for Complex Data: Craft clear, scannable, high-performance interfaces for dashboards, data tables, reports, analytics views, and multi-entity workflows.
- Design for large datasets - pagination, filtering, sorting, drill-down, bulk actions - with the same care given to visual polish.
- Prototype Fast, Learn Faster: Build quick, functional prototypes in Figma - and with AI tools where appropriate - to put ideas in front of real users early, before engineering cycles are committed. Treat prototyping as your primary thinking tool.
- Build and Own the Design System: Architect and maintain a comprehensive enterprise design system in Figma - component libraries, design tokens, variables, auto-layout patterns, and thorough documentation - that scales reliably across multiple applications and development teams.
- Leverage AI in Your Workflow: Actively use AI design and prototyping tools to accelerate output, explore interaction patterns, and design intuitive interfaces for AI-native features such as natural language dashboards, intelligent query tools, and automated reporting surfaces.
- User Research & Validation: Plan and conduct user interviews, usability tests, and contextual inquiry with internal stakeholders. Synthesize findings quickly and translate insights into concrete design decisions.
- Stay Embedded with Engineering: Participate in development handoff, review implementations against your specs, flag design drift early, and hold a high bar for what ships. Your job isn't done at handoff.
Requirements
- Expert-level Figma proficiency - component libraries, design tokens, variables, auto-layout, advanced prototyping, and Dev Mode handoff.
- Demonstrated ability to thrive in fast-paced, ambiguous environments - comfortable starting from incomplete information, making well-reasoned assumptions, and iterating quickly as clarity emerges.
- Working knowledge of front-end technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) sufficient to have credible conversations with engineers about feasibility and constraints.
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Interaction Design, Human-Computer Interaction, Graphic Design, or equivalent demonstrated experience.
- Ideal Candidate Profile:
Nice to have
- Doesn't freeze in ambiguity - asks the sharpest question in the room, makes a call, and moves.
- Ambiguity is fuel, not friction.
- Prototypes to think, not just to present - rough ideas in front of real users, early and often.
- Actively using AI and experimenting with new tools, treating them as a competitive advantage.
- Finds deep satisfaction in making complexity feel simple - turning dense, multi-entity data into interfaces that feel obvious in hindsight.
- Holds a high bar for what ships and follows work into production.
- Thrives in a fast-moving environment - adapts quickly, reprioritizes without friction, keeps momentum even when the ground shifts.
- 5+ years of UX/UI design experience with a strong portfolio demonstrating mastery of complex, data-dense enterprise applications.
Skills
- Treat prototyping as your primary thinking tool.
Compensation
- Across its entities, it manages hundreds of employees and oversees significant annual expenditures, ranging from grants and gifts to private investments and operational costs.
Benefits
- Compensation includes a strong base + bonus (no equity, as they're private).Compensation includes a strong base + bonus (no equity, as they're private).
