UI Designer, Equity

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 an 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
