II. Data visualisation and dashboard design (30%) * Design interactive and static data visualisations to communicate findings from datasets (on diverse topics such as Food, Land, Water, Mobility, Energy etc.). * Work with program teams to identify the right visual formats - charts, maps, infographics - for different audiences and platforms. * Ensure all data visuals are accurate, accessible, and aligned with WRI India's editorial and brand standards. * Support the design of reports, briefs, and presentations with data-driven visual storytelling. III. UX research and strategy (20%) * Conduct user research activities including interviews, surveys, usability tests, and journey mapping to inform design decisions. * Synthesise research insights and present recommendations to program teams and stakeholders. * Contribute to the development of design guidelines, accessibility standards, and UX documentation. * Track emerging UX trends, tools, and methodologies relevant to sustainability and civic-facing digital products. IV. Stakeholder engagement and collaboration (15%) * Work closely with program managers, researchers, and communications staff across WRI India to gather requirements and deliver design outputs. * Participate in workshops, design reviews, and feedback sessions with internal and external partners. * Support the development of pitch decks, stakeholder presentations, and workshop materials from a design perspective. ## Related Videos - [Bridging the Gap](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/794-bridging-the-gap) - [GraphQL + Apollo + Next.js: A Lovely Trio](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/311-graphql-apollo-next-js-a-lovely-trio) - [Boost Productivity with AI: Figma & Playwright MCP Workflows - Aris Markogiannakis](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1768-boost-productivity-with-ai-figma-playwright-mcp-workflows-aris-markogiannakis) - [ Secure Code Superstars: Empowering Developers and Surpassing Security Challenges Together](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/422-secure-code-superstars-empowering-developers-and-surpassing-security-challenges-together) - [Fireside Chat with Kris Rasmussen, CTO at Figma](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/982-fireside-chat-with-kris-rasmussen-cto-at-figma) - [Designing the Future of Human<>Agent Collaboration](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1447-designing-the-future-of-human-agent-collaboration) ## Related Articles - [16 Best Free React UI Libraries in 2025](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/148-16-best-free-react-ui-libraries-in-2025) - [The future is here: How artificial intelligence is influencing UX design](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/65-the-future-is-here-how-artificial-intelligence-is-influencing-ux-design) - [How Developers Can Focus on Maintaining Satisfaction With Accessibility](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/109-how-developers-can-focus-on-maintaining-satisfaction-with-accessibility) - [10 Essential Figma Plugins for Frontend Developers in 2023](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/262-10-essential-figma-plugins-for-frontend-developers-in-2023) - [Are design and development really just the same thing?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/520-are-design-and-development-really-just-the-same-thing) - [Dev Digest 133 - Back to Front](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/474-dev-digest-133-back-to-front)
