JOB DESCRIPTION

Bring your expertise to JPMorgan Chase. As part of Risk Management and Compliance (RM&C), you are at the center of keeping JPMorgan Chase strong and resilient.

You will lead initial UX research and early discovery - planning and facilitating sessions to validate problem statements, uncover user needs, and inform experience direction. You will bring strong proficiency in Figma and a deep understanding of every stage of the design process - from research and synthesis through interaction design, visual polish, and final delivery - grounding decisions in user needs and information hierarchy to ensure experiences are intuitive, efficient, and outcomes-driven.

Job Responsibilities

• Drive a user-centric design approach for complex, highly functional business solutions through rapid testing, iterative prototyping, and continuous refinement.
• Lead initial UX research and early discovery by planning and facilitating sessions to validate problem statements, uncover user needs, and inform experience direction.
• Lead cross-functional design thinking workshops that enable human-centered problem solving and align teams on outcomes.
• Design, brand, and build intuitive, polished user interfaces in partnership with product owners, developers, and business stakeholders.
• Build strong stakeholder relationships through direct communication - clarifying vision and direction, and presenting design concepts, rationale, and trade-offs.
• Foster a collaborative design process with product owners, developers, and business stakeholders.
• Set design direction grounded in user research and insights, translating needs into clear information hierarchy and interaction patterns.
• Contribute to and help evolve the design system and component library to drive consistency, scalability, and quality.
• Own your solution through delivery by providing clear specifications, supporting QA, and maintaining status and transparency with partners.
• Provide day-to-day direction and leadership to a junior designer, including work planning, design feedback, and coaching to support growth and delivery quality.

Required qualifications, capabilities, and skills

• 5+ years of experience in UX/product design, interaction design, or a related field delivering user-centered digital products and complex workflows.
• Expert proficiency in Figma (Figma Design, Figma Slides, FigJam, and Figma Make).
• Portfolio available for review.
• Growth mindset with a strong problem-solving orientation and desire to continuously learn and develop.
• Proven track record leading UX to deliver user-centered products, including facilitation of collaborative working sessions, mentoring junior designers, and strong presentation and visual communication skills.
• Knowledge of service design, design systems, and agile methodologies.

Preferred qualifications, capabilities, and skills

• Familiarity with intelligent solution technologies (e.g., Tableau, Pega, Microsoft Power, Sigma, Databricks).
• Ability to leverage "vibe coding" (LLM-assisted rapid prototyping) to quickly generate UI concepts, interaction patterns, and lightweight prototypes that accelerate design exploration and iteration.
• Illustration, animation/motion, and photo-realistic image editing skills.
• Ability to design effectively with financial data and market information.
• Mobile experience (responsive and/or native).
