Mid-Sr Designer, Global Navigation

Role overview This mid-to-senior level design role focuses on global navigation and search experiences within a large-scale digital ecosystem. The position operates as a flexible individual contributor who shifts dynamically between navigation and search initiatives based on evolving business priorities, balancing high-fidelity visual execution with strategic UX problem-solving. The designer maintains connective cohesion across primary user journeys and contributes reusable patterns back into a shared design system.

Responsibilities - Deliver end-to-end user experience and visual design solutions for global navigation and search surfaces, guided by portfolio leadership priorities. - Transition fluidly between navigation and search workstreams as team capacity and business needs shift, rather than owning a single fixed property. - Collaborate with surface design leads on complex UX challenges, interface architecture, and visual craft decisions. - Maintain cross-surface visual and interaction consistency between navigation and search components, preserving their shared connective role across user journeys. - Partner with the design system team in a contribution-based model, feeding navigation- and search-specific UI patterns, components, and documentation back into the system. - Ramp up rapidly on existing research, technical constraints, and domain context when shifting between workstreams.

Requirements - 3–6+ years of digital product design experience (UI/UX) across enterprise, complex web applications, or large-scale digital ecosystems. - Bachelor's degree in Design, Human-Computer Interaction, Interaction Design, Fine Arts, or equivalent practical design experience. - Comprehensive digital design portfolio demonstrating solid visual craft alongside end-to-end UX problem-solving processes. - High comfort with ambiguity, shifting team priorities, and rapid context-switching. - Proficiency with modern design and prototyping tools such as Figma. - Professional verbal and written English communication skills with the ability to articulate complex design decisions to non-design executives, engineering leads, and business stakeholders.

Nice to have - Proven experience working within context-shifting or embedded consulting models where priorities evolve rapidly. - Demonstrated experience contributing directly to component-based design systems and shared pattern libraries. - Prior experience designing enterprise search interfaces, discovery experiences, or global header and footer navigation structures at scale. - Familiarity with complex digital ecosystems in healthcare, life sciences, or regulated enterprise environments. - Understanding of accessibility standards such as WCAG 2.1 AA and modular content structures.

Benefits and work setup - Remote work environment with standard Monday through Friday business hours. - Occasional travel expected for conferences, workshops, or company headquarters gatherings. - Prolonged computer use required; reasonable accommodations available for candidates with disabilities.
