Senior UX Manager leading the UX function and strategic design at an InsurTech company, focusing on user experience and team development.
Responsibilities
Lead the UX function. Hire, mentor, and manage a small team of product designers and researchers. Set the bar for quality, process, and craft.
Define and evolve the long-term UX vision and experience strategy for key product areas, ensuring alignment with company goals and customer needs.
Lead strategic design initiatives that span multiple teams or product areas, ensuring consistency across the platform. Ensure design decisions reflect a coherent mental model and interaction patterns, creating intuitive and scalable experiences.
Define and prioritize UX work across customer acquisition, policy management, and internal tooling. Align design direction with product and engineering leadership.
Drive user research. Establish research practices that inform product decisions. Insurance is a domain where users need clarity and confidence — understand where they struggle and why.
Establish and champion UX principles and design frameworks that guide consistent decision-making across teams.
Evolve the design system. You'll work closely with frontend engineering to keep the design system coherent, accessible, and scalable.
Navigate complexity. Insurance products involve regulatory requirements, multi-step workflows, conditional logic, and domain-specific language. You'll need to make complicated things feel simple.
Collaborate across disciplines. Work daily with product managers, frontend and backend engineers, data teams, and business stakeholders. You'll need to understand how design work maps to team boundaries.
