Senior UX Designer, Visual Emphasis, Experience Design Standards

Logitech Software 

Primary Location: Ireland - Cork or Remote/Hybrid

The Role

Logitech is looking for a Senior UX Designer with strong visual design skills to join our Experience Design Standards (EDS) team. You will work on projects related to our consumer software platforms. The role is based in Ireland, reports to the Head of Global UX, and works closely with the Head of UX, Consumer Software and other stakeholders. 

EDS for consumer software focuses on the definition and maintenance of design systems, incorporating components, patterns, and style guides, in the context of hardware and software which often have complex relationships. 

At a higher level, it also addresses questions of information architecture, brand experience for diverse audiences, language localisation, knowledge support for the organisation, as well as research, both evaluative and generative. 

You will also work closely with software engineers. As such, current knowledge of technical architectures, technologies and practices, e.g. agile development, would be an advantage. 

To be successful in this role, applicants must have strong visual design skills and expertise in  interaction design fundamentals - e.g. information architecture; understanding which interaction elements, patterns, and paradigms to choose as required; adaptation to new technologies and paradigms; orchestration of cross-channel experiences - and an obsessive eye for detail. A strong understanding of practical methodology for research and  insight development, and an ability to advocate for these in a fast-paced environment where strong opinions may be held will be key. You must be able to articulate and advocate for your design choices, and have the soft skills necessary to bring others along, and grow your influence. A portfolio to evidence this experience will be required. 

We value individuals who are creative, adaptable and empathetic, and are energised by supporting the needs of a large, fast-paced, global organisation.

• Execute visual designs to a high standard

• Design Systems: To build an effective system, you will require expertise in interaction design principles and practices, from fundamentals such as information architecture, to a knowledge of appropriate interaction choices, to the orchestration of complex cross-channel experiences.
