Description
Senior UX Designer, Experience Design Fundamentals
Logitech Software
Primary Location: Ireland - Cork or Remote/Hybrid
The Role
Logitech is looking for a Senior UX Designer to join our Experience Design Standards (EDS) team. You will lead on projects related to our consumer software platforms. The role is based in Ireland, reports to the Head of Global UX, and works closely with the Head of UX, Consumer Software and other stakeholders.
EDS for consumer software focuses on the definition and maintenance of design systems, incorporating components, patterns, and style guides, in the context of hardware and software which often have complex relationships.
At a higher level, it also addresses questions of information architecture, brand experience for diverse audiences, language localisation, knowledge support for the organisation, as well as research, both evaluative and generative.
You will also work closely with software engineers. As such, current knowledge of technical architectures, technologies and practices, e.g. agile development, would be an advantage.
To be successful in this role, applicants must have mastery of interaction design fundamentals
- e.g. information architecture; understanding which interaction elements, patterns, and paradigms to choose as required; adaptation to new technologies and paradigms; orchestration of cross-channel experiences - and an obsessive eye for detail. A strong understanding of practical methodology for research and insight development, and an ability to advocate for these in a fast-paced environment where strong opinions may be held will be key. You must be able to articulate and advocate for your design choices, and have the soft skills necessary to bring others along, and grow your influence. A portfolio to evidence this experience will be required.
We value individuals who can lead with vision, while being adaptable and empathetic, and are energised by supporting the needs of a large, fast-paced, global organisation.

Design Systems: Lead the definition, refinement and implementation of design systems for our consumer facing software platforms. Working with the Head of UX, Consumer Software, you will build coherent systems, appropriate to the needs of the organisation with strong attention to detail.
