As a Senior UX Designer at Litera, you will be part of a dynamic team that is passionate about driving innovation in the legal technology space. You will have the opportunity to work with cutting‑edge tools and collaborate with industry experts to deliver solutions that make a real difference in the legal profession.

• Proactively seek out the context you need to design well — talk to legal experts, customer‑facing teams, support, and anyone else who holds knowledge about the problem space rather than waiting to be briefed
• Know when a question needs formal research and when a quick conversation or existing data will get you the answer — we value resourcefulness and good judgment over rigid process
• Collaborate with our UX Researcher for larger studies, and be capable of running lightweight research activities yourself (surveys, interviews, usability tests) with their guidance
• Actively monitor product analytics in Pendo to identify patterns, validate assumptions, and use real usage data to drive your design decisions — we have a point person to help you get what you need, but you should be in there regularly
• Leverage the wealth of existing knowledge across the organization before starting from scratch — we have deep institutional expertise and we expect you to build on it
• Frame problems clearly before jumping to solutions — identify what you know, what you don't, and what you need to find out

• Own the design direction for your product area end to end — from early problem definition through to release — and be accountable for the quality of what ships
• Work with PM to define scope, shape the problem, and prioritize what gets built — you're not waiting for a brief, you're helping write it. Challenge assumptions, push back with design thinking, and bring clarity when requirements are ambiguous
• Navigate complex stakeholder environments — you'll work closely with your PM, Legal SME, and Engineering lead, and you need to be comfortable leading the room, aligning perspectives, and driving decisions forward
• Adapt your design output to what the project actually needs — sometimes that's a full end‑to‑end design, sometimes it's key screens and flows, sometimes it's jumping into Replit and collaborating on a prototype with the team
• Present your work with clear rationale grounded in research, UX principles, and real user scenarios — not just "here's what I made" but "here's why, based on what we know." Invite feedback, manage the discussion, and know how to harvest what matters into your next iteration
• Design across Microsoft add‑ins, web applications, and mobile — with a focus on supporting and enhancing legal workflows
• Ramp up quickly on the legal domain — you don't need a legal background, but you need…
