Drive design from concept to execution, translating product requirements into compelling design ideas. Collaborate with various teams to create intuitive UI flows and visual patterns for legal professionals.
Responsibilities
- Drive design from concept to execution — translating abstract product requirements and user needs into clear, compelling design ideas and prototypes.
- Simplify complexity: Create designs that make interacting with dense, structured data feel natural and frictionless for legal professionals.
- Collaborate deeply with Product Management, Engineering, and Data teams to understand business goals, data architecture, and user context — then translate that understanding into intuitive UI flows and visual patterns.
- Invent and explore new design concepts that push the boundaries of how attorneys and legal professionals research, analyze, and manage legal information.
- Prototype and test ideas rapidly to validate hypotheses and gather insights from users and internal stakeholders.
- Maintain and evolve our design system, ensuring consistency, scalability, and alignment with our evolving product suite.
- Conduct user research and usability testing with attorneys, paralegals, and other legal professionals to inform product direction and improve usability.
- Champion the voice of the user, balancing design creativity with pragmatic understanding of legal workflows and cognitive load.
- Contribute to brand identity and product storytelling, ensuring that our visual language reinforces clarity, trust, and sophistication.
Requirements
- Minimum 7 years of design experience, ideally within data-rich or workflow-heavy SaaS products being used by legal professionals.
- A portfolio showcasing product designs that make advanced data research capabilities simple and approachable for non-technical users.
- Solid experience with the entire product design process, from research and problem discovery through to detailed interaction and visual design.
- Expertise with Figma, Miro and prototyping tools; experience with design systems and responsive web applications.
- Deep empathy for legal professional users (e.g., attorneys, analysts, or similar domains requiring precision and trust).
- Experience building AI or ML-based product workflows.
- Strong skills in concept generation — you’re not just refining ideas, you’re creating them.
- Excellent communication and storytelling skills, able to articulate design rationale to technical and non-technical audiences alike.
- Experience collaborating closely with product and engineering teams to ensure design intent carries through to implementation.
- Knowledge of accessibility standards and best practices for data visualization and interaction.
