Job Description:
insightsoftware is seeking a User Interface Designer to join the newly established UX team within the Certent Equity Management (CEM) product organization. Reporting to the UX Manager, Equity, this role is responsible for designing intuitive, visually consistent, and production-ready interfaces across the CEM platform - translating complex equity compensation workflows into clean, usable experiences for plan administrators, finance teams, participants, and broker partners. The UI Designer will work closely with UX Researchers, Product Managers, and Engineering to ensure design decisions are grounded in user evidence, aligned with product requirements, and implemented with fidelity. This role is foundational - you will help establish the design system, component library, and visual language that will define the CEM platform experience across both the existing product and the next-generation architecture.
Key Responsibilities
Interface Design & Execution
- Design wireframes, high-fidelity mockups, interactive prototypes, and final UI specifications for features and enhancements across all CEM product domains - including equity plan administration, ESPP, batch processing, broker integrations, admin reporting, financial reporting, and participant experiences
- Translate PRDs, user stories, and functional requirements into thoughtful interface designs that account for the complexity of equity compensation workflows
- Design for the full spectrum of interaction patterns required in an equity management SaaS platform - data entry, inline editing, bulk operations, search and filtering, drill-down navigation, scheduled job monitoring, and export/print formatting
- Iterate rapidly on designs based on feedback from UX Researchers, Product Managers, Engineering, and customer input, maintaining a bias toward evidence-informed refinement over assumption
Design System & Component Library
- Partner with the UX Manager to create and maintain a unified design system and component library for the CEM platform, ensuring visual and interaction consistency across all modules and domains
- Design and document reusable UI components - including form controls, data tables, navigation patterns, status indicators, modal dialogs, notification systems, and reporting layouts - with clear usage guidelines, states, and accessibility annotations
- Define and evolve the visual language of the CEM platform - typography, color systems, spacing, iconography, and elevation - balancing brand alignment with the functional demands of a data-intensive financial application
- Maintain the design system as a living resource, updating components as new patterns emerge and ensuring consistency as the platform scales across existing workstreams
Research Collaboration & User-Centered Design
- Partner with UX Researchers to incorporate research findings, usability test results, and customer feedback directly into design decisions
- Participate in research sessions - usability tests, customer interviews, contextual inquiries - to build firsthand empathy for how equity administrators, finance teams, and participants interact with the platform
- Use research insights to inform design direction, validate design hypotheses, and refine interfaces through iterative testing cycles
- Apply domain knowledge of equity compensation workflows to anticipate user expectations and design for scenarios that generic usability principles alone would not surface
Product Collaboration & Engineering Handoff
- Partner with Product Managers across all CEM domains to understand feature requirements, business logic, and user workflows, translating complex specifications into clear, implementable interface designs
- Deliver detailed design specifications and annotated mockups that provide engineering with unambiguous guidance on layout, spacing, interaction behavior, component usage, states, error handling, and responsive breakpoints
- Collaborate with front-end engineering to ensure design intent is preserved through implementation, participating in sprint reviews, QA walkthroughs, and visual regression checks
- Support the platform modernization initiative by contributing interface designs and interaction patterns that establish the visual and experiential foundation for the next-generation architecture
Accessibility & Quality Standards
- Apply accessible design practices consistently - including color contrast, keyboard navigation, focus management, screen reader compatibility, and meaningful labeling - across all interface work
- Conduct design QA reviews of implemented features, identifying visual discrepancies, interaction inconsistencies, and accessibility gaps before release
- Establish and maintain design quality standards that reflect the expectations of a regulated financial services platform - where precision, clarity, and trust are essential to the user experience
Stakeholder Communication
- Present design work to product leadership, engineering teams, and cross-functional stakeholders, clearly articulating design rationale, trade-offs, and alignment with user research and product strategy
- Create and maintain design documentation that supports cross-functional understanding - including annotated flows, interaction specifications, and pattern usage guides
- Participate in customer advisory sessions and feedback reviews as needed, presenting design concepts and gathering direct input on interface direction
- Contribute to Product Marketing materials by providing visual assets, feature screenshots, and UI previews for release communications, sales enablement, and competitive positioning
Required Qualifications
Experience
- 3+ years of UI design experience, with a strong portfolio demonstrating end-to-end interface design work across complex, data-intensive enterprise applications
- 2+ years of experience designing for financial services, fintech, equity compensation, or similarly regulated, data-heavy B2B SaaS platforms
- Demonstrated experience creating and contributing to design systems and component libraries in production environments
- Proven ability to design for complex interaction patterns - dense data tables, multi-step workflows, form-heavy interfaces, role-based views, and reporting outputs - while maintaining usability and visual clarity
- Experience collaborating closely with UX researchers, incorporating research findings into design iterations, and participating in usability testing
- Strong experience working with engineering teams in Agile environments, including delivering detailed design specifications and conducting design QA
Technical & Domain Knowledge
- Expert-level proficiency in Figma, including component architecture, auto-layout, design tokens, prototyping, and design system management
- Strong understanding of interaction design principles for enterprise applications - including information hierarchy, progressive disclosure, error prevention, data visualization, and task flow optimization
- Solid understanding of equity compensation concepts - including stock options, RSUs, RSAs, ESPP, performance awards, vesting schedules, and participant transaction workflows - sufficient to design interfaces that reflect real-world equity administration tasks without requiring constant domain translation
- Working knowledge of front-end implementation considerations - HTML/CSS capabilities and constraints, responsive behavior, and component-based architecture - sufficient to design interfaces that are technically feasible and to communicate effectively with engineering
- Familiarity with accessibility standards (WCAG 2.1 AA) and inclusive design practices
- Understanding of data-dense UI patterns common in financial and enterprise applications - sortable/filterable tables, dashboard layouts, period-based navigation, and export/print formatting
Education
- Bachelor's degree in Visual Design, Interaction Design, Human-Computer Interaction, Graphic Design, or a related field required
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience designing for equity administration platforms such as Certent Equity Management
- Experience designing financial reporting interfaces, including disclosure outputs, expense schedules, and period-end processing workflows
- Experience contributing to or leading a design system buildout from scratch or near-scratch within an enterprise product organization
- Experience supporting platform migration or modernization efforts where UI redesign was a significant component of the initiative
- Experience in a high-growth, fast-paced SaaS company
