We are looking for an experienced visual designer to join our UX practice within our Markets Execution Group. The Markets Execution Group provides Product Management and Product Design leadership for our most critical client-facing applications that provide users with the capabilities to evaluate, trade, and keep track of any of our equity or fixed income investment vehicles. We are looking for excited individuals to help create products that can improve peoples’ lives (at work) and achieve clear business goals. Our users have complex, fast-paced, informationally overloaded jobs (within an already complex industry) and so their tools must provide benefits without adding to that complexity. As a UX team, we delve into the problem-space by leveraging any one of the various techniques designers have for finding insights that others can’t. And with those insights, we also guide the products’ evolution. To that end, our designers must be part inventor, part craftsman but most of all, makers.

Operating similar to an internal agency, we’ll take on a good variety of business-critical projects where design is a necessary part of the solution. In the Markets Execution Group, our role is to drive an agenda of innovation by helping identify and evolve the best ideas and then partnering up with our skilled team of data scientists, engineers, and investment experts to figure out the best path to success.

Role Description:
The Visual Designer (VD) role is an integral part of the team. Our VDs are co-owners of the design and identity of our next-generation, bespoke, multi-channel applications. VDs develop the design effort for applications that are dynamic, information and data rich, highly specialized, and built within the scope of the latest technological trends (e.g. data science, block chain, and new application frameworks). Other responsibilities of VDs include the following:

• Create and evolve the visual design language for the products we work on while maintaining awareness of the larger ecosystem of product and design standards
• Help establish a culture of design within the group and among our stakeholders
• Collaborate with our cross disciplinary teams to transform requirements into compelling designs that fulfill on the promise of the product
• Ensure your proposed designs are specified with the required level of detail (in the form of red-lines and assets) to guide the process of design and development
• Take an active role in the quality assurance throughout development and deployment
• Actively support efforts to codify preferred and industry-appropriate design standards
