Staff UX Designer, Digital Innovation (DI) 6Month Contract Preference for Hybrid in Winston Salem, NC Job Summary The Staff UX Designer is a highleverage individual contributor including new business opportunities. The role focuses on translating futurestate intent into actionable experience patterns, prototypes, and pilotready designs. The team this person will support will be accountable for derisking decisions, not just driving revenue through netnew innovation. The team supports clarity in defining business direction, so the right things are built, at the right level of fidelity, before major investment. This is not a visual or creative production role. It is a strategic, systemsminded product and UX role focused on innovation that can be adopted and scaled. The role works in close partnership with Experience Design (XD), Adoption Experience (AX), Trade Experience Realization (TxR). Contract duration: 6 months Principal Duties and Responsibilities 1. Innovation and Pattern Extraction * Translate findings into reusable experience patterns. * Identify where current experiences limit performance, compliance, or adoption and propose feasible stepchange alternatives. 2. FutureState Experience Design (Grounded, Not Theoretical) * Create futurestate journeys, service blueprints, and interaction models that enable competitive advantage through digital experience. * Maintain a pragmatic link between future vision and nearterm pilots, avoiding "deckonly" innovation. 3. Prototyping and Pilot Enablement * Build low to highfidelity prototypes to validate concepts quickly with users and stakeholders. * Produce pilotready artifacts that can transition into TxR delivery with XD standards applied. 4. CrossDisciplinary Alignment and Storytelling * Facilitate clarity sessions with business partners and crossfunctional teams to align on outcomes, hypotheses, and tradeoffs. * Translate complex problems into simple, decisionready narratives for leadership and delivery teams. 5. Standards Alignment with XD and Adoption Readiness with AX * Align innovation work to XD design systems and reusable component patterns, even in prototype form. * Engage AX early to ensure concepts are positioned for confidence, readiness, and adoption from day one. Job Requirements Education * Bachelor's degree in HumanComputer Interaction, Interaction Design, Psychology, Computer Science, Industrial Design, or equivalent practical experience. Experience * 8 to 12+ years of experience in UX or product design, including ownership of complex workflows and crossfunctional influence. * Demonstrated experience translating ambiguous problems into clear experience intent, prototypes, and pilotready designs. * Experience operating in enterprise or regulated environments, or similarly constrained domains, is preferred. Required Skills (MustHaves) * Strategic UX and product thinking, including strong problem framing, hypothesis definition, and connection to business outcomes. * Workflow and decision experience design, with deep skill designing task and rolebased workflows that reduce friction and cognitive load. * Rapid prototyping with expert ability to iterate quickly and validate concepts. * Systems mindset with the ability to create reusable patterns and avoid oneoff designs, including understanding of design systems and component reuse. * Crossfunctional influence, including leading working and designthinking sessions and driving decisions without formal authority. * Expert Figma proficiency for prototyping and collaboration. * Strong documentation discipline, including documenting intent and decisions in tools such as Confluence and coordinating work in agile tooling such as Jira. * Clear, executiveready communication and storytelling, including presenting options, tradeoffs, and recommendations succinctly. Preferred Skills (NicetoHaves) * Experience with Salesforce or field enablement systems. * Familiarity with research practices and partnering with UX Research (UXR). * Exposure to AEP, DAM, Workfront, or related experience ecosystems. Physical Requirements * N/A (standard office or remote work) What Success Looks Like After 6 Months * Solutioning that produces a small set of reusable innovation patterns and prototypes aligned to real delivery constraints. * One to two concepts are matured to pilotready status with clear outcomes, assumptions, and measurement approaches. * Decisionmakers report increased clarity and reduced risk due, making business direction, tradeoffs, and assumptions explicit. * DI work transitions cleanly into delivery using XD standards, with AX engaged early for adoption readiness. * Stakeholders view Digital Innovation as an accelerant to outcomes, not a distraction from delivery.
