• Build out and maintain a design system which ensures visual and functional consistency across the Green Project product suite. This includes defining UI components, interaction patterns, and documentation that supports scalable and cohesive product development.
• Plan and conduct usability testing sessions with both internal stakeholders and external users to inform design decisions and improve the user experience.
• Apply human-centered design principles to ensure that every product decision is rooted in empathy for the user. This includes conducting user research, synthesizing insights, and designing solutions that reflect a deep understanding of user goals, pain points, and contexts.

Requirements:

• 5+ years working experience as a UX Designer or similar role.
• Bachelor’s degree in Design, Human-Computer Interaction, UX-related field, or equivalent experience.
• You have experience using Figma, or a similar design tool, to deliver rapid, iterative prototypes used for facilitating discovery as well as high-fidelity designs based off product requirements for hand-off to engineering teams.
• You’ve led, or contributed to, setting up and managing a design system for SaaS and/or eCommerce products.
• You have experience with usability testing with both external customers and internal users. You know how to plan, conduct, and analyze user research to improve design effectiveness and user satisfaction.

• Experience in climate and/or sustainability spaces a plus.
• First-hand experience with technical implementations of UI/UX is a plus.
