UI/UX Designer (U.S. Only)

Job Posting Summary:

Providing a remarkable experience for our customers is the seed from which our company has grown. As a result, design has been at the center of the problem we are trying to solve in small commercial insurance. For decades, small business owners have had to rely on paper-based processes and clunky mid-90s systems to acquire legally mandated commercial insurance. In other words, it’s been a chore. We are trying to make it easy, and pleasant. You would help our Director of Design & UX in continuing to provide a B2C like experience for our small business (aka B2B) users.

Job Description:

We’re growing fast, with new partnerships announced nearly every week, but with those partnerships come design obligations. You will collaborate with (and report to) our Director of Design & UX across the spectrum of UI/UX disciplines to design your own slate of products and platforms. Some of these products will be externally facing B2B2C others will be internal B2B SaaS platforms, all will be design-forward. As such, we need you to flex your UI/UX generalist skills to create intuitive designs that make insurance one of the easiest things a business ever has to purchase. This position is 100% remote. And though all applicants will require submitting a design portfolio, an obsession with pixel perfect UI or visual design minutiae isn’t necessary.

Requirements:

• You have 3-5 years of work experience focused on unified UI and UX design for web and mobile, including responsive design.

• You can present and articulate the vision in a purposeful and thoughtful way, have an eye for detail, an excellent sense of aesthetics and functionality.

• You bring a B2C sensibility to B2B products and platforms.

• Experience building or working with Design Systems and translating branding guidelines into scalable and repeatable components.

• You are highly skilled in creating sketches, wireframes, high fidelity comps, prototypes, and written documentation, using modern design and prototyping tools.

• You possess extensive expertise in a broad range of UX skills, including interaction design, visual design, UX research, and more.

• Expertise in UX software such as Sketch, InVision, Axure, or equivalent is a must.

• Fluency with the Adobe Creative Suite.

• Sensitivity to user journey details: information architecture, screen flow and feature discoverability.

• Strong portfolio of product and/or interface design work is required and pivotal (samples of academic or personal projects are acceptable – show us what drives you!).

• You are flexible and comfortable with ambiguity and change during a project.

• A desire to grow and expand your skills.

Bonus Skills/Experience: 

• Basic HTML, CSS, and JavaScript skills are a plus.

• Interest or passion for data visualization, grid/layout systems, and infographics.

• Fluency with After Effects.

• Direct experience building SaaS products.

• Familiar with agile product and design cycles.

Our Interview Process:

Our hiring process generally consists of 3 phases.

• Phase 1: Qualified candidates will first meet with HR for a phone interview.  This discussion is a high-level conversation to understand more about your background and interests and for us to share more about Coterie and the position.

• Phase 2: Selected candidates will then meet our Hiring Manager for the 2nd interview via Teams video. This interview is designed to be more detail oriented and allows you to learn more about the role

• Phase 3: Top candidates will receive an invite for our final interview series via Teams video. This series will include an experimental exercise project (provided in advance), 1:1 interviews with selected team members and a culture focused interview. The final series is roughly 1.5-3 hours in total but can be scheduled over a few days for flexibility.
