Associate UI/UX Designer

We're seeking an Associate UI/UX Designer to support design across the Starweaver digital ecosystem, a suite that includes Boostr, DesignPilot, Journeybuilder, and Starweaver Analytics.

Working closely with our Senior UI/UX Designer and Product team, you'll contribute across the design lifecycle: user research, journey mapping, high-fidelity UI, and interactive prototypes. You'll help ensure our B2B and EdTech platforms are intuitive, accessible, and functional for global enterprise users.

Key Responsibilities:

1. UX Discovery & Research

• User Research: Support user interviews, surveys, and competitive analysis to help identify pain points and opportunities across our platforms.
• Experience Mapping: Translate business requirements into user flows, site maps, and wireframes, with guidance from the Senior UI/UX Designer.
• Usability Testing: Help create and run usability tests on low- and high-fidelity prototypes, and iterate based on real feedback.

2. High-Fidelity UI Design

• Visual Excellence: Apply Starweaver's brand standards through strong typography, color, and grid systems.
• Data Visualization: Design clear dashboards for Starweaver Analytics that make complex data easy to interpret for enterprise stakeholders.
• Responsive Execution: Deliver consistent experiences across desktop, tablet, and mobile, keeping technical feasibility in mind.

3. Design System Contribution

• Component Work: Contribute to and help maintain Starweaver's UI component library.
• Best Practices: Build components using Figma best practices, auto layout, variables, and properties to keep the product suite consistent.

4. Prototyping & Developer Collaboration

• Prototyping: Build interactive prototypes that demonstrate key transitions and micro-interactions.
• Handoff: Work with frontend developers for a smooth handoff, documenting states, edge cases, and interactions.
• Design QA: Review staging environments to check that the live product matches the design intent before release.

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

• Design Quality: Consistently delivers UI that meets Starweaver's design standards, requiring fewer craft revisions over time.
• Usability Contribution: Supports research and usability testing that lead to measurable improvements in task completion and reduced friction.
• System Consistency: Builds reusable, well-structured components that adhere to the design system and reduce rework for the team.
• Delivery Reliability: Delivers sprint-ready designs on time, with clear documentation that minimizes back-and-forth with engineering.

Qualifications

Experience

• 1 to 3 years of professional experience as a UI/UX Designer, ideally in a SaaS, B2B, or EdTech environment.
• A portfolio demonstrating both UX thinking (wireframes, user flows, research involvement) and high-fidelity UI execution (visual polish, dashboards or data-driven screens).

Technical Skills

• Figma: Strong working proficiency in Figma components, auto-layout, variables, and prototyping.
• Research Tools: Some exposure to tools like Hotjar, Maze, or similar for usability testing and heat-mapping.
• Visual Suite: Working knowledge of Adobe Creative Suite for asset creation when needed.
• Technical Literacy: A basic understanding of HTML/CSS constraints, enough to keep designs buildable.
• Bonus: Any experience with Figma Motion or Lottie for UI animation.

Core Competencies

• Analytical Thinking: Ability to break down data-heavy workflows into clean, understandable interfaces.
• Initiative: Comfortable taking a defined product requirement and moving it forward with some guidance from the Senior UI/UX Designer.
• Communication: Ability to explain the reasoning behind design decisions to Product Managers and engineers.
• Collaboration: Openness to feedback and a willingness to work closely with the wider design and product team.

Benefits

• Competitive salary and performance-based bonuses.
• Opportunity to work on high-impact platforms across the Starweaver ecosystem.
• Access to a global network of educators, designers, and technology experts.
• Hands-on mentorship and room to grow your design career.
