• Support the delivery of customer transformation engagements, including customer strategy, experience design, brand design, and service/operating model improvements.
• Conduct customer and user research, data analysis, insight generation, and analyze customer data (VoC, NPS, behavioral data) to identify insights and opportunities.
• Support customer journey mapping, segmentation, personalization, service design, and experience improvement initiatives.
• Design and oversee the deployment of sites using Lightning Web Runtime, including design system governance with Salesforce Experience Cloud.
• Create high-fidelity wireframes, interactive prototypes, and UI mockups that align with brand and usability standards.

• Design and maintain a library of reusable design patterns and branding sets.
• Support the implementation of Agentforce and Einstein Search, working alongside technical leads to ensure features align with the intended user experience.
• Develop structured deliverables, including presentations, models, and analyses, and collaborate with multidisciplinary teams (strategy, design, and technology) while conducting usability tests with diverse user groups.
• Manage defined workstreams or project components with guidance and build working relationships with client stakeholders at the manager and director levels.

What you’ll bring to this role:

• Experience in digital experience architecture and UX strategy, including enterprise web portals, with strong understanding of Salesforce Experience Cloud and Lightning Web Runtime architecture.
• Familiarity with customer journey mapping, Voice of Customer (VoC), customer insights approaches, and experience with design thinking and human-centered design methodologies.

• Strong storytelling, slide-writing, interpersonal, and emerging leadership skills, with the ability to communicate effectively across multidisciplinary teams.
• Proven stakeholder management skills with manager- and director-level clients, including the ability to build and maintain strong client relationships.
• Familiarity with the Salesforce digital customer platform, supported by certifications such as Salesforce Administrator, Platform Developer, App Builder, or Salesforce Architect.

• Familiarity with authentication and security concepts relevant to external-facing portals — including single sign-on, social login, and data-sharing rules — to inform design decisions around access, visibility, and user experience.
• Serve as the subject matter expert for Section 508 and WCAG compliance to ensure accessibility-first engineering and inclusive user experiences.
