UX Designer lead

We are looking for a senior product design lead who can not only get hands on with business, analytics, UX and visual, but comes with great client handling, communication, team management and leadership skills.

Energetic, self-motivated, driven and ready to take on key responsibilities on the product and the business side.

Not a relaxed job. Will be hectic and would need someone who constantly has his/her eye on the ball.

Job includes directing a product, leading a design team and also owning parts of the UX design. Major role in visual design both on the product side and on the marketing and brand front.

How do you like the idea of owning a product? Do you feel confident partnering with the product team and being informed enough to call the shots? We’re happy to give you that chance.

We’re looking for a UI/UX Designer with 4–5 years of experience who can think beyond screens and push the product forward. You’ll work closely with product managers, developers, and cross-functional teams to deliver exceptional, user-centric experiences.

Responsibilities:

• Partner closely with product managers and stakeholders to define product strategy, requirements, and user goals.
• Lead user research interviews, usability tests, and data interpretation, translating insights into actionable design decisions.
• Create high-fidelity wireframes, interactive prototypes, and visually polished interfaces across web and mobile platforms.
• Drive design direction while ensuring consistency with brand guidelines and design systems.
• Develop detailed user personas, journeys, flows, information architecture, and interaction models.
• Conduct end-to-end usability testing and iterate designs based on findings.
• Collaborate closely with development teams to ensure accurate design implementation and resolve UI/UX challenges.
• Stay up to date with industry trends, evolving UX patterns, and new tools and technologies, bringing fresh thinking to the team.
• Provide mentorship, design critiques, and guidance to junior designers to maintain overall design quality.
• Advocate for user-centered thinking across the organization and influence product decisions through design expertise.
• 
  

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Design, HCI, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience).
• 4–5 years of solid UI/UX design experience, with a strong and diverse portfolio demonstrating end-to-end product thinking.
• Expertise in modern design and prototyping tools such as Figma, Sketch, Adobe XD, or similar.
• Strong understanding of user-centered design principles, usability heuristics, and UX research methods.
• Excellent visual design sensibility with a strong grasp of layout, typography, color theory, and design systems.
• Proven ability to turn complex problems into simple, intuitive solutions.
• Strong communication and storytelling skills, with the ability to explain design decisions to both technical and non-technical teams.
• Ability to manage multiple projects, prioritize effectively, and meet deadlines.
• Experience designing for responsive, mobile-first environments; familiarity with accessibility standards is a plus.

Ungrammary is a leading UX/UI and product design agency based in Mumbai, India, working with global brands and ambitious companies to create meaningful digital products and experiences. Our work spans technology, fintech, healthcare, SaaS, retail, and consumer products, with products designed by our team already being used by millions of people. We work with brands including Adobe, Fossil Group, VMware, Kotak Mahindra Bank, and other leading organizations.

We're looking for a Senior UX Designer who can take ownership of complex design problems from ambiguity to execution. Someone who can move comfortably between UX strategy, interaction design, visual design, and product thinking — while bringing clarity to both the team and the client.

You should be comfortable challenging assumptions, asking the right questions, articulating your decisions, and taking a product from an early problem space to a thoughtful, polished experience.

What You'll Do

• Own UX design across projects, from understanding the problem and defining user needs to delivering polished digital experiences.
• Translate complex business and user problems into clear product and design directions.
• Lead user flows, information architecture, interaction models, wireframes, prototypes, and high-fidelity UI design.
• Make thoughtful design decisions and clearly communicate the reasoning behind them to clients, stakeholders, and internal teams.
• Work closely with founders, clients, product managers, developers, researchers, and other designers to shape product experiences.
• Take ownership of design quality across projects and ensure that the final experience is both strategically sound and exceptionally crafted.
• Create scalable design systems, components, and patterns that enable consistency across products.
• Think deeply about interaction design, user behaviour, edge cases, and the details that make an experience feel intuitive.
• Identify gaps in a product or design direction and proactively propose better solutions rather than simply executing requirements.
• Present and defend design decisions with clarity, adapting your communication to different stakeholders.
• Contribute to product strategy, storytelling, workshops, and client conversations beyond the scope of UI/UX execution.
• Mentor and provide constructive feedback to junior and mid-level designers.
• Stay curious about emerging design tools, technologies, and AI workflows and continuously evolve how you work.

What We're Looking For

• 4–6 years of experience in UX/UI, product design, or a related field.
• Exceptional UI aesthetics and a high level of attention to detail.
• Strong understanding of information architecture, user flows, interaction design, prototyping, and usability.
• Ability to think beyond individual screens and understand the larger product ecosystem.
• Strong product thinking and the ability to balance user needs, business goals, and technical constraints.
• Ability to independently take ownership of a project or significant workstream.
• Strong communication and presentation skills, with the ability to articulate and defend design decisions.
• Proficiency in Figma and modern product design workflows.
• Experience working with design systems and scalable product interfaces.
• A portfolio demonstrating strong visual craft and thoughtful UX thinking.
• Curiosity and adaptability — you actively explore new tools and ways of working rather than relying on a fixed process.

Bonus Points

• Experience working on fintech or other complex digital products.
• Experience working directly with clients or cross-functional product teams.
• Experience leading design discussions, workshops, or design reviews.
• Experience mentoring junior designers or reviewing design work.
• Familiarity with AI-assisted design and prototyping workflows.
• Experience contributing to or building design systems.
• Experience working in an agency or consulting environment across multiple products and industries.
