UX Designer II

UX Designer II will effectively leverage the experience of senior team members and leaders to creatively design around perceived limitations and/or challenges imposed by the regulatory or technical environment.

UX Designer II sets direction for the design of web applications used by branch teams, clients, and home office associates, with guidance from senior team members and leaders. Recommendations impact the user’s experience, adoption of the firm’s technology, and the ability to meet the needs of the client.

The decisions of UX Designer II have a long-term impact on systems or processes that impact branch teams, clients, and home office associates, from several months to multiple years. UX Designer II will make decisions under the guidance of senior team members and leaders. Decisions will vary in complexity and often impact other areas. UX Designer II may occasionally mentor others but has no direct supervision responsibility.
