About the position

As Senior UX/UI Designer, you will be responsible for shaping and executing the design strategy for one or more of RSM's proprietary student, parent, teacher and staff support platforms and tools.

You will establish UX/UI best practices, create a design system, conduct user research, collaborate cross-functionally, advocate for UX/UI, design and iterate rapidly, and ensure accessibility and inclusivity.

Responsibilities

• Conduct user research: Lead qualitative and quantitative studies to deeply understand the needs of students, teachers, and parents.
• Collaborate cross-functionally: Work with engineering, product, curriculum teams, and business stakeholders to ensure designs align with both user needs and technical feasibility.

• Ensure accessibility and inclusivity: Design with a focus on usability for diverse learners, including students with different needs and learning styles.

Requirements
