Experience Designer (UX)

About
At the company, we design, build, manage and modernize the mission-critical technology systems that the world depends on every day.
At the company Vital, we help organizations transform through human-centered design, creativity, and experimentation. Our studios bring together designers, technologists, and strategists who co-create new ways of working and new customer experiences — from idea to prototype to implementation. We’re now building our UAE Vital Studio, and we’re looking for an Experience Designer (UX) who’s ready to shape meaningful digital experiences and guide clients toward what’s next.
The Role
Design experiences that move people — and businesses.
As part of a multidisciplinary team, you’ll lead UX design activities that connect insight, imagination, and execution. You will:

• Conduct user research to uncover needs, pain points, and opportunities.
• Create personas, journey maps, and information architectures that turn complexity into clarity.
• Design wireframes, prototypes, and interaction patterns that bring ideas to life.
• Work on the next generation of interaction, interface, and methodology to take experience into the next era.
• Facilitate co-creation workshops and usability tests with clients and users.
• Collaborate closely with Creative Technologists, developers, and Consult Partners to balance desirability with feasibility.
• Advocate for accessibility and inclusive design, ensuring every experience works for all users.
• Communicate ideas through clear storytelling and visuals that inspire alignment and action.
• Champion human experience throughout the full design lifecycle — from discovery to delivery, always attentive to the impact your decisions make on people, society and planet.
  Why the company Vital
  You’ll join a new, high-energy studio that’s part of a global Vital network spanning the Nordics, Singapore, and beyond. Expect variety, visibility, and the chance to co-shape our culture from the ground up. Here, design thinking meets engineering rigor — and your work directly influences how major organizations evolve and grow.
