    UI & UX Designer – Nairobi Innovation Studio

    Job Description

    Visa is looking for a talented UI/UX Product Designer to join our Innovation & Design team. Join a dynamic group that conceives and designs new concepts and plays a pivotal role in collaborations with Visa partners, working with emerging technologies such as Internet of Things and card-less payments. This job is in Visa’s Innovation Studio in Nairobi, where we partner with Visa clients from across Sub Saharan Africa to create ground-breaking payments products and experiences and solve unique client problems.

    The Designer will be part of product development projects that include ideation, iteration and testing. Projects are derived based on forces shaping how consumers earn, spend, and save. This role will also contribute to driving much of Visa’s global new product roadmap through applied exploration and development. You’ll apply user-centered design principles and work closely with stakeholders to conceive and design beautiful, useable and engaging product interfaces. You’ll be involved in the early stages of research and ideation and will collaborate with multi-disciplinary teams through the iteration and development process. You are an accomplished UX designer who is fluent with digital experiences across platforms.

    Creating great UI is an important part of this role. This means creating both rapid UI prototypes as well as pixel perfect outcomes. This requires you to have a passion for building UI and you have a deep understanding and appreciation of how a delightful visual can drive user behavior and affect digital interactions. All of our team members are strategic thinkers and conceptual problem solvers who make every design decision an informed one. Each team member is trusted to independently manage their time and work, and make bold decisions using their best judgement. We value proven skills over big egos and thrive on positive, transparent teamwork.

    • Design mobile, desktop and device specific experiences that are delightful and engaging
    • Produce wireframes, visual designs, style guides and pattern libraries
    • Create working UI prototypes that communicate the next generation commerce experiences (InVision or other similar product knowledge is a plus). As the sole UI designer in the Nairobi studio, this is a critical part of the role.
    • Be comfortable and able to flex between rapid prototyping and building pixel perfect outcomes. E.g. on one project, out rapid UI prototypes in record time for iteration with clients; in another project, take final outputs to the highest standards of UX and UI design.
    • Build a world-class User Experience solution that supports the needs of the Visa digital solutions team and products
    • Present design concepts to Senior Leadership and external partners
    • Gather and incorporate requirements and feedback from multiple stakeholders
    • Understand and advocate for the consumer’s experience
    • Foster a deep and rewarding collaboration with the Product Managers, Engineers, Marketers, and our customers. Highly collaborative working is critical for success in the role
    • As requested, facilitate ideation and user journey building breakout sessions
    • Build the supporting documentation to insure success of a healthy User Experience team while delighting our customers.

    Qualifications

    • 5+ years in related role, experience in consumer payment, e-commerce is preferred
    • Demonstrated knowledge in computer and mobile platforms (Apple and Android)
    • Passionate & practical about creating great user experiences to the point of obsession
    • Experience designing world class user interfaces for the web and mobile
    • Knowledge of visual, UI and interaction design principles with an eye for details and consistency
    • Passionate about new web technologies and web techniques to help you build next gen user experiences
    • Experience and understanding of Product Management and the agile process
    • Be able to stand by your designs and provide solid rationale to back up your decision
    • Set the tools standards for the team and be an expert in the use of those tools
    • Proven ability to work independently, provide guidance and direction to help others attain their goals
    • Excellent written and oral communication skills
    • B.S./B.A degree or relevant design qualifications
