Job Description & How to Apply Below

The Senior User Experience (UX) Designer will help define the next generation of AI-powered legal technology used by lawyers and business professionals at one of the world's leading law firms. Working within the Data & AI Engineering group, this role partners closely with the UX Lead, product managers, and engineers to design and deliver intuitive, impactful AI-powered products and platforms. This is a hands-on, craft-focused role for a designer who combines strong product design skills with a forward-thinking, AI-first mindset.

Duties

And Responsibilities
  • Use AI-powered design and prototyping tools (e.g., Claude Code, Claude, and other code- and AI-based prototyping environments) as a core part of daily practice to rapidly explore concepts, build working prototypes, and deliver design solutions.
  • Translate the UX vision and strategy set by the UX Lead into well-crafted, consistent designs across multiple products and platforms.
  • Execute the end-to-end design process—user research, information architecture, wire framing, prototyping, and high-fidelity visual design with guidance from the UX Lead.
  • Support discovery and user research, including usability testing and other validation methods, to inform design decisions and feature prioritization.
  • Approach design with a product mindset, weighing user needs alongside business goals, use cases, and technical constraints and opportunities.
  • Collaborate closely with product managers, engineers, and other stakeholders to refine requirements and ensure designs are feasible and consistent.
  • Apply and help maintain UX design standards, guidelines, and patterns that support a cohesive, scalable design system.
  • Champion accessibility, usability, and inclusive design best practices throughout day-to-day design work.
  • Continuously experiment with new AI tools, workflows, and techniques, sharing what you learn to help the team work more effectively.
  • Contribute to collaborative design sessions, workshops, and design critiques, offering ideas and incorporating feedback.
  • Help track and interpret key UX metrics, using data and AI-assisted analysis to refine designs and inform future work.
  • Stay current on industry trends, emerging tools, and the fast-evolving intersection of UX, product, and AI.
  • Present design work clearly to the UX Lead, product team, and other stakeholders, articulating decisions and the rationale behind them.
Required

Education and/or Experience
  • Bachelor’s degree in Design, Human-Computer Interaction, Psychology, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.
  • Minimum of 3 years of experience as a product or UX designer, with a track record of delivering high-quality work.
  • Strong portfolio demonstrating skill in user research, UX/UI design, prototyping, and interaction design across web and/or mobile applications.
  • Demonstrated willingness and ability to use AI to produce design work—including hands-on experience with, or genuine eagerness to learn, AI- and code-based prototyping tools such as Claude Code, Claude, or similar.
  • A product-minded approach, with the ability to consider business needs, use cases, and technical constraints alongside user needs.
  • Proficiency with design and prototyping tools such as Figma.
  • Working familiarity with front-end technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) sufficient to collaborate effectively with engineers and to prototype using code-based tools.
  • Familiarity with accessibility standards (WCAG) and inclusive design principles.
  • Strong communication skills, with the ability to articulate design decisions to both design and non-design audiences.
  • Ability to manage multiple projects with competing deadlines and adapt to shifting priorities.
