Responsibilities

Partner with stakeholders and end users to identify workflow problems, clarify requirements, and define the desired outcomes of design work.
Conduct user interviews, usability tests, and A/B testing; use Fullstory to analyze user behavior, identify usability issues, and prioritize design improvements.
Map user journeys, task flows, and information architecture for processes such as applications, credential lookup, and account management.
Create wireframes, polished interface designs, and interactive prototypes in Figma for responsive web and mobile experiences.
Design navigation, forms, and interface states, including validation, errors, loading, and empty states, to support confident task completion.
Apply accessibility practices to layouts and interactions; document keyboard behavior, focus order, contrast, and screen reader considerations.
Support Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT) assessments by gathering test evidence, documenting accessibility gaps, and contributing to Accessibility Conformance Reports (ACRs) with engineers and accessibility specialists.
Assist with Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessibility requests for digital products by clarifying barriers, recommending accessible solutions, and coordinating remediation and follow-up with support, engineering, and the designated compliance contact.
Create and maintain a design system and reusable component library in Figma using Untitled UI; collaborate with engineers to align React components with design standards, accessibility requirements, and NCCER’s brand.
Present design options and explain decisions using research, user needs, and technical constraints, while incorporating stakeholder feedback.
Collaborate with engineers and external vendors on specifications, assets, and acceptance criteria; review implemented features and resolve design discrepancies.
Use Jira to document design requirements, track usability and accessibility issues, and coordinate priorities and acceptance criteria during Agile planning.
Other duties as assigned, as this job description does not include a comprehensive list of required activities, duties, or responsibilities.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in design, human-computer interaction, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience, with at least three (3) years of UI/UX or digital product design experience.
Portfolio demonstrating shipped digital products and the ability to explain the problem, personal contribution, design iterations, and resulting outcomes.
Experience supporting accessibility assessments and VPAT/ACR documentation, including collaboration to resolve user accessibility or accommodation requests.
Figma skills, including reusable components, auto layout, variants, and interactive prototyping.
Ability to apply visual hierarchy, typography, spacing, and interaction patterns for responsive interfaces.
Experience conducting user interviews and usability testing, and translating research findings into design decisions.
Ability to create user flows, wireframes, and detailed design specifications for multi-step workflows.
Working knowledge of WCAG, including manual testing such as keyboard navigation and screen reader checks, supported by automated testing tools.
Working knowledge of design systems and component libraries, with familiarity with Untitled UI or experience adapting a comparable library.
Working knowledge of React component concepts, as well as HTML and CSS sufficient to design feasible interfaces and collaborate with front-end engineers.
Working knowledge of Jira and Agile workflows for documenting requirements, tracking defects, and coordinating delivery.
Strong written, verbal, and visual communication skills, including the ability to explain design tradeoffs to technical and nontechnical audiences.
Attention to detail, sound judgment, and the ability to manage multiple priorities, work independently, and follow through on commitments.
Collaborative approach, including receiving feedback, adapting designs, and balancing user needs with delivery constraints.
