[Hiring] Senior UX Designer @Zensurance

Role Description

We're looking for a Senior UX Designer to join us for a 9-month contract. As a Senior UX Designer, you will be the champion for our users—small business owners, brokers, and internal partners. You will lead the design strategy across our product domains, including both customer-facing and internal applications. This role will take ownership of key product areas, contribute to the application-wide design system and guidelines, and seek to improve design processes and collaboration.

Key Responsibilities:

• End-to-End Ownership: Lead the design process from initial discovery and user research to high-fidelity prototyping and post-launch optimization.
• Complex Problem Solving: Simplify intricate insurance logic into clear, accessible user journeys. You’ll create service blueprints that map out the entire lifecycle of a policy.
• Data-Driven Iteration: Use product analytics and A/B testing results to validate your designs and drive conversion improvements.
• Cross-Functional Leadership: Partner closely with Product Managers and Engineering Tech Leads to ensure technical feasibility and alignment on our product roadmap.
• Design System Evolution: Contribute to and advocate for our internal design system to ensure consistency, accessibility (AODA/WCAG), and scalability across our platform.
• Mentorship: Provide thoughtful feedback during design reviews and mentor intermediate/junior designers to help elevate the team’s collective craft.

Qualifications

• 5+ Years of Experience: Proven track record in UX/Product Design, ideally within Fintech, Insurtech, or complex SaaS environments.
• Portfolio of Impact: A portfolio that showcases your thinking process—not just final screens. We want to see how you handled constraints and navigated complex user flows.
• Tool Mastery: Expert-level skills in Figma and familiarity with modern hand-off and research tools.
• Strategic Mindset: Ability to balance "blue-sky" vision with the "MVP" reality of an agile, fast-moving startup.
• Communication: You can articulate the why behind your design decisions to stakeholders, turning data and research into compelling narratives.

Requirements

• $95,000 - $115,000 a year. The annual base salary range provided for this position is a nationwide market range and represents a broad range of salaries for this role across the country. The actual salary for this position will be determined by a number of factors, including the scope, complexity and location of the role; the skills, education, training, credentials and experience of the candidate; and other conditions of employment. As part of our comprehensive compensation and benefits program, employees may also be eligible for performance-based case incentive awards.

Benefits

• Remote-first setup for added flexibility.
• Home office allowance to create a comfortable workspace.
• Top-tier tech: "Office in a box" with all necessary tech equipment.
• Half days before public holidays: Enjoy half days before long weekends.
• Weekly Friday huddles to share updates and connect across teams.
• Virtual & in-person team-building events to strengthen our culture.
