Overview: As a Senior UX Designer at Litera, you will be part of a dynamic team that is passionate about driving innovation in the legal technology space. You will have the opportunity to work with cutting-edge tools and collaborate with industry experts to deliver solutions that make a real difference in the legal profession.

Key Responsibilities:

Research & Problem Framing:

• Proactively seek out the context you need to design well — talk to legal experts, customer-facing teams, support, and anyone else who holds knowledge about the problem space rather than waiting to be briefed
• Know when a question needs formal research and when a quick conversation or existing data will get you the answer — we value resourcefulness and good judgment over rigid process
• Collaborate with our UX Researcher for larger studies, and be capable of running lightweight research activities yourself (surveys, interviews, usability tests) with their guidance
• Actively monitor product analytics in Pendo to identify patterns, validate assumptions, and use real usage data to drive your design decisions — we have a point person to help you get what you need, but you should be in there regularly
• Leverage the wealth of existing knowledge across the organization before starting from scratch — we have deep institutional expertise and we expect you to build on it
• Frame problems clearly before jumping to solutions — identify what you know, what you don't, and what you need to find out

Design Execution & Collaboration:

• Own the design direction for your product area end to end — from early problem definition through to release — and be accountable for the quality of what ships
• Work with PM to define scope, shape the problem, and prioritize what gets built — you're not waiting for a brief, you're helping write it. Challenge assumptions, push back with design thinking, and bring clarity when requirements are ambiguous
• Navigate complex stakeholder environments — you'll work closely with your PM, Legal SME, and Engineering lead, and you need to be comfortable leading the room, aligning perspectives, and driving decisions forward
• Adapt your design output to what the project actually needs — sometimes that's a full end-to-end design, sometimes it's key screens and flows, sometimes it's jumping into Replit and collaborating on a prototype with the team
• Present your work with clear rationale grounded in research, UX principles, and real user scenarios — not just "here's what I made" but "here's why, based on what we know." Invite feedback, manage the discussion, and know how to harvest what matters into your next iteration
• Design across Microsoft add-ins, web applications, and mobile — with a focus on supporting and enhancing legal workflows
• Ramp up quickly on the legal domain — you don't need a legal background, but you need to be curious and fast at absorbing complex workflows and terminology. Prior experience in legal tech, AI, or agentic product design is a plus.
• Stay flexible as the way we build evolves — PMs and legal experts are creating prototypes too, lines between roles are blurring, and we need someone who's energized by that rather than threatened by it
• Focus on shipping good product over perfecting artifacts — know when a polished design is needed and when a sketch on a call gets the job done faster
• Develop and present concept directions that give the team something tangible to react to and align around — even when requirements are still emerging
• Know what level of design fidelity a project needs at each stage — when to stay loose and explore multiple directions, when to run a feasibility check with engineering, and when it's time to lock things down and get precise

Qualifications:

Experience:

• 5+ years as a Product Designer, ideally in a B2B SaaS environment where you've shipped and iterated on a live product
• Experience owning the design direction for a product area and managing multiple stakeholders with competing priorities
• You've stepped into environments where design wasn't yet leading and helped shape how design contributes — whether that's introducing process, improving collaboration, or simply raising the bar on what ships
• Experience designing across web applications, mobile, and/or platform add-ins (we design for the Microsoft suite)
• Working knowledge of AI design principles and a genuine interest in how AI and agentic products are evolving — you don't need to be an expert, but you should be paying attention
• LegalTech experience is a bonus

Skills:

• Proficient in Figma — it's our primary design tool
• Comfortable working in Replit or similar collaborative prototyping environments
• Strong foundation in UX research principles — knowing what to ask, when research is needed, and what to do with the findings
• Able to present design rationale clearly and manage feedback discussions with cross-functional partners
• Can work across multiple levels of design fidelity and know which one a project needs at any given stage

Mindset:

• Self-directed — you go find the answers, you don't wait to be told what to explore
• Comfortable in a fast-paced environment where roles overlap, tools evolve, and the process isn't fixed
• Resourceful — you use what's available, build on what exists, and focus on outcomes over process

Impact & Growth:

• This role has real scope to shape how design works within your product area and beyond — how we collaborate, how we make decisions, and how we raise the quality of what we ship
• You'll be part of a team that's actively evolving its ways of working, with the opportunity to influence that trajectory
