Job Description: insightsoftware   is seeking a User Interface Designer to join the newly established UX team within the   Certent   Equity Management (CEM) product organization. Reporting to the UX Manager, Equity, this role   is responsible for   designing intuitive, visually consistent, and production-ready interfaces across the CEM platform — translating complex equity compensation workflows into clean, usable experiences for plan administrators, finance teams, participants, and broker partners. The UI Designer will work closely with UX Researchers, Product Managers, and Engineering to ensure design decisions are grounded in user evidence, aligned with product requirements, and implemented with fidelity. This role is foundational — you will help   establish   the design system,   component   library, and visual language that will define the CEM platform experience across both the existing product and the next-generation architecture.   Key Responsibilities   Interface Design & Execution   Design wireframes, high-fidelity mockups, interactive prototypes, and final UI specifications for features and enhancements across all CEM product domains — including equity plan administration, ESPP, batch processing, broker integrations, admin reporting, financial reporting, and participant experiences   Translate PRDs, user stories, and functional requirements into thoughtful interface designs that account for the complexity of equity compensation workflows   Design for the full spectrum of interaction patterns     in a n equity   management   SaaS platform — data entry, inline editing, bulk operations, search and filtering, drill-down navigation, scheduled job monitoring, and export/print formatting   Iterate rapidly on designs based on feedback from UX Researchers, Product Managers, Engineering, and customer input,   maintaining   a bias toward evidence-informed refinement over assumption   Design System & Component Library   Partner with the UX Manager to create and   maintain   a unified design system and   component   library for the CEM platform, ensuring visual and interaction consistency across all modules and domains   Design and document reusable UI components — including form controls, data tables, navigation patterns, status indicators, modal dialogs, notification systems, and reporting layouts — with clear usage guidelines, states, and accessibility annotations   Define and evolve the visual language of the CEM platform — typography, color systems, spacing, iconography, and elevation — balancing brand alignment with the functional demands of a data-intensive financial application   Maintain the design system as a living resource, updating components as new patterns   emerge   and ensuring consistency as the platform scales across existing   workstreams   Research Collaboration & User-Centered Design   Partner with UX Researchers to incorporate research findings, usability test results, and customer feedback directly into design decisions   Participate in research sessions — usability tests, customer interviews, contextual inquiries — to build firsthand empathy for how equity administrators, finance teams, and participants interact with the platform   Use research insights to inform design direction,   validate   design hypotheses, and refine interfaces through iterative testing cycles   Apply domain knowledge of equity compensation workflows to   anticipate   user expectations and design for scenarios that generic usability principles alone would not surface   Product Collaboration & Engineering Handoff   Partner with Product Managers across all CEM domains to understand feature requirements, business logic, and user workflows, translating complex specifications into clear, implementable interface designs   Deliver detailed design specifications and annotated mockups that provide engineering with unambiguous guidance on layout, spacing, interaction behavior,   component   usage, states, error handling, and responsive breakpoints   Collaborate with front-end engineering to ensure design intent is preserved through implementation,   participating   in sprint reviews, QA walkthroughs, and visual regression checks   Support the platform modernization initiative by contributing interface designs and interaction patterns that   establish   the visual and experiential foundation for the next-generation architecture   Accessibility & Quality Standards   Apply accessible design practices consistently — including color contrast, keyboard navigation, focus management, screen reader compatibility, and meaningful labeling — across all interface work   Conduct design QA reviews of implemented features,   identifying   visual discrepancies, interaction inconsistencies, and accessibility gaps before release   Establish and   maintain   design quality standards that reflect the expectations of a regulated financial services platform — where precision, clarity, and trust are essential to the user experience   Stakeholder Communication   Present design work to product leadership, engineering teams, and cross-functional stakeholders, clearly articulating design rationale, trade-offs, and alignment with user research and product strategy   Create and   maintain   design documentation that supports cross-functional understanding — including annotated flows, interaction specifications, and pattern usage guides   Participate in customer advisory sessions and feedback reviews as needed, presenting design concepts and gathering direct input on interface direction   Contribute to Product Marketing materials by providing visual assets, feature screenshots, and UI previews for release communications, sales enablement, and competitive positioning   Required Qualifications   Experience   3 + years of UI design experience, with a strong portfolio   demonstrating   end-to-end interface design work across complex, data-intensive enterprise applications   2+ years of experience designing for financial services, fintech, equity compensation, or similarly regulated, data-heavy B2B SaaS platforms   Demonstrated experience creating and contributing to design systems and   component   libraries in production environments   Proven ability to design for complex interaction patterns — dense data tables, multi-step workflows, form-heavy interfaces, role-based views, and reporting outputs — while   maintaining   usability and visual clarity   Experience collaborating closely with UX researchers, incorporating research findings into design iterations, and   participating   in usability testing   Strong experience working with engineering teams in Agile environments, including delivering detailed design specifications and conducting design QA   Technical & Domain Knowledge   Expert-level   proficiency   in Figma, including   component   architecture, auto-layout, design tokens, prototyping, and design system management   Strong understanding of interaction design principles for enterprise applications — including information hierarchy, progressive disclosure, error prevention, data visualization, and task flow optimization   Solid understanding of equity compensation concepts — including stock options, RSUs, RSAs, ESPP, performance awards, vesting schedules, and participant transaction workflows — sufficient to design interfaces that reflect real-world equity administration tasks without requiring constant domain translation   Working knowledge of front-end implementation considerations — HTML/CSS capabilities and constraints, responsive behavior, and component-based architecture — sufficient to design interfaces that are technically   feasible   and to communicate effectively with engineering   Familiarity with accessibility standards (WCAG 2.1 AA) and inclusive design practices   Understanding of data-dense UI patterns common in financial and enterprise applications — sortable/filterable tables, dashboard layouts, period-based navigation, and export/print formatting   Education   Bachelor's degree in Visual Design , Interaction Design, Human-Computer Interaction, Graphic Design, or a related field     Preferred Qualifications   Experience designing for equity administration platforms such as   Certent   Equity Management   Experience designing financial reporting interfaces, including disclosure outputs, expense schedules, and period-end processing workflows   Experience contributing to or leading a design system buildout from scratch or near-scratch within an enterprise product organization   Experience supporting platform migration or modernization efforts where UI redesign was a significant   component   of the initiative   Experience in a high-growth,   fast-paced   SaaS company           The salary range in United States of America for this position is 88,000.00 to 111,000.00 USD Annual.
