Your passion for user-centric design pushes you to create intuitive, efficient, and visually appealing mobile experiences for our automotive client.

          Mobile-First Design & Execution:

• Lead the end-to-end UX and UI design process for features and functionalities within the client's mobile applications (iOS and Android).
• Develop detailed user flows, interaction models, information architecture, wireframes, and interactive prototypes specifically tailored for mobile platforms.
• Create pixel-perfect, high-fidelity UI designs, incorporating the client's brand guidelines, design system, and best practices for mobile usability and aesthetics.
• Focus on micro-interactions, gestural controls, haptic feedback, notification systems, and responsive layouts for various mobile device sizes and orientations.
• Ensure all designs are technically feasible and collaborate closely with developers during implementation, providing detailed specifications and reviewing UI for fidelity.
  
  User Research & Testing (Mobile Context):
  
  
• Conduct and participate in user research sessions (e.g., usability testing on mobile devices, remote ethnography, A/B testing within apps) to gather insights specific to mobile user behaviour and preferences.
• Analyze app analytics, user feedback, and market trends to identify pain points and opportunities for mobile app experience improvements.
• Translate research findings into actionable design recommendations and iterate on designs based on user feedback and performance data.
• Collaboration & Advocacy:
• Work closely with the UX Lead, App Operations team, product managers, developers, and other designers to ensure a cohesive product strategy and design execution across all mobile initiatives.
• Contribute to and advocate for the adoption of mobile-first design best practices, accessibility standards, and consistent design patterns within the App Operations team.
• Present design concepts, rationale, and user insights clearly and persuasively to stakeholders, fostering a shared understanding and buy-in for mobile experience enhancements.

What we want from you:

• Mobile UX/UI Specialization (Essential): Proven track record as a Senior UX/UI Designer with a specialized, hands-on focus on mobile application design (iOS and Android), demonstrating exceptional craft and attention to detail.
• Automotive Context: Experience designing for the automotive sector or other highly regulated/complex industries with a strong digital product presence is highly desirable.
• Exceptional Portfolio: A must-have portfolio demonstrating end-to-end UX/UI design for mobile apps, showcasing your process from research and wireframing through to polished UI and implemented solutions.
• Mastery of Mobile Design Principles: Deep understanding and practical application of mobile-first design principles, platform-specific guidelines (e.g., Apple Human Interface Guidelines, Google Material Design), and responsive design.
• Figma & Prototyping Proficiency: High proficiency in modern design tools, especially Figma, with the ability to create scalable, well-structured design files, interactive mobile prototypes, and high-fidelity UI.
• User Research & Testing: Strong experience in conducting and participating in mobile-specific user research (qualitative and quantitative), including usability testing on devices, A/B testing, and synthesizing results into design solutions.
• Technical Understanding: Familiarity with mobile app development processes, limitations, and platform capabilities to ensure designs are technically feasible and optimized for performance.
• Collaboration & Communication: Excellent communication and collaboration skills, able to present and articulate design decisions and rationale clearly to developers, product managers, and other stakeholders.
• Problem-Solving & Autonomy: A proactive, problem-solving mindset, capable of working autonomously to manage design tasks and priorities within a fast-paced, cross-functional App Operations team.
• Design System Contribution: Experience working with and contributing to comprehensive design systems, ensuring consistency and scalability of mobile components.
• Accessibility & Performance: Solid understanding of mobile accessibility standards and performance considerations to ensure inclusive and efficient app experiences.
