Associate UX Designer

About the Team

Morningstar's Corporate Digital Web Team powers our global public web presence, partnering with marketing, product, design, and technology to create user-centered, high-performing digital experiences for investors and clients.

We're looking for a Digital UX Specialist who's excited to experiment, learn, and shape better website experiences – using real user data to test ideas, refine page patterns, and help bring intuitive, modern digital journeys to life.

This position is based in our Chicago office. We follow a hybrid policy of at least 4 days onsite.

• Support the design and setup of A/B and multivariate tests on key page types, from hypothesis through to results and recommendations.
• Review and align existing pages to new templates and components as part of system and CMS migrations, flagging UX and content issues.
• Create simple wireframes or prototypes for page layouts and flows that follow our design system and accessibility standards.
• Partner with UX, analytics, marketing, and engineering to interpret data, share insights, and continuously improve the user experience.

• 1-3 years of experience in UX, product design, web design, or a related digital role.
• Foundational UX skills: understanding of user journeys, information architecture, and usability best practices.
• Some exposure to website experimentation and/or web analytics (e.g., A/B testing concepts, engagement or conversion metrics).
• Ability to create clear, simple wireframes using tools like Figma or Sketch.
• A self-starter with a genuine curiosity about emerging technologies – especially AI.
• Strong communication skills, a collaborative mindset, and a willingness to learn in a fast-moving, experiment-driven environment.

• Experience with experimentation tools (e.g., Optimizely, Google Optimize, Adobe Target) or CMS-driven websites.
• Familiarity with accessibility (WCAG), responsive design, and basic HTML/CSS.
