Senior User Experience Designer

Compensation: $140,000 - $160,000

Team & Position Details: 

At Virtru, we build products that protect data and enable trust. Our UX team partners closely with Product and Engineering to deeply understand customer needs, set a clear experience direction, and ship thoughtful, secure, and usable software.

We’re looking for a senior-level UX Designer with a honed craft, strong research instincts, and a high degree of ownership. This role is for someone who can work independently, make sound decisions with imperfect information, and consistently deliver high-quality UX in a complex B2B environment.

As a Senior UX Designer, your responsibilities will include:

• Own UX problems end-to-end. Take work from discovery through execution with minimal oversight—framing the problem, validating direction, and delivering high-quality designs.
• Lead your own research. Plan and conduct interviews, usability tests, and exploratory research; synthesize findings into clear insights that influence product direction.
• Design with precision and speed. Create flows, wireframes, prototypes, and high-fidelity designs using Figma, FigJam, and Figma Make, leveraging AI tools to explore and iterate efficiently.
• Work through ambiguity. Make thoughtful tradeoffs across usability, security, technical constraints, and business goals.
• Prototype and validate early. Build lightweight prototypes and run quick, scrappy testing when needed to reduce risk and improve outcomes.
• Partner closely with Product and Engineering. Collaborate as an equal partner, not a service function, to shape priorities and solutions.
• Communicate clearly. Present research findings and design decisions to teammates and leaders with confidence and clarity.
• Raise the bar. Contribute to UX standards, accessibility, and design systems, and help improve the overall quality and consistency of our products.
• Mentor by example. Provide guidance and feedback to other designers through strong craft and thoughtful critique.

Skills that will help you thrive in this role: 

• 6+ years of experience as a UX and Interaction Designer.
• Demonstrated ability to work independently and deliver high-quality UX with ownership and accountability.
• Strong foundation in UX research, including interviewing, usability testing, and applying insights to product decisions.
• Deep proficiency in Figma, FigJam, and Figma Make, with established, opinionated design patterns.
• Experience designing complex B2B SaaS or enterprise products, ideally with admin or policy-driven interfaces.
• Solid understanding of responsive design, accessibility, and modern web standards.
• Comfort designing for multiple personas, including Buyers, End Users, IT Administrators, and Engineers.
• A strong portfolio showing clear problem framing, design rationale, and shipped outcomes.

Nice to have:

• Experience with security, privacy, or data protection products.
• Familiarity with federated or enterprise admin platforms.
• Experience using AI-assisted UX tools for research synthesis, ideation, or prototyping.
• Basic front-end coding literacy.

Virtruvian qualities that will set you up for success:

• Thinking outside of the box to respectfully challenge your teammates and managers in the pursuit of excellence
• Strong sense of urgency with an action-oriented mindset
• Able to collaborate and adapt to shifting priorities as business needs evolve
• Comfortable with asynchronous communication including slack, email, zoom, etc.
