Through UX research and design, we accelerate our clients’ access to data and insights and develop advanced user workflows. We bring deep experience in creating innovative solutions across multiple channels - desktop, web, and mobile. We continually enhance and evolve the company’s pioneering software solution – the Bloomberg Terminal. In addition to the Terminal, we support other tools like premium desktop, web, mobile products and internal productivity tools. We are a team of researchers, interaction designers, visual designers, prototypers, and technical writers who partner with product and technology to turn our design vision into reality!

We are looking for an experienced Interaction Designer with a passion for making complex systems useful, usable, and delightful.

• Lead all aspects of the design process from customer research using qualitative and quantitative methods, conceptualizing, storyboarding, detailed design and working with engineering teams on implementing designs
• Collaborate with business teams to adopt a user centered process and ground design decisions in a detailed understanding of the customer’s workflow and needs. This could include conducting workshops with business and engineering stakeholders, subject matter experts, etc. Additionally, you will collaborate with engineers to support the development of products as per design specifications

• Project management skills to see projects through the design lifecycle from start to release. This includes the ability to proactively engage with business and engineering stakeholders as part of a cross-functional team
