Job Description

Our team is largely based in Redmond, but we're open to candidates who work remotely full-time anywhere in the US.

Are you ready to make Office--a suite of products used by 100s of millions of people every single day, and one of the most well-known and beloved brands in the world--even better?

How people collaborate and get work done is evolving faster than ever and Microsoft is at the forefront of setting new expectations for what's possible.

You'll work as part of a community with diverse styles, voices, and views that reflect the diversity of our customers. You'll talk to customers, design and iterate with them, and challenge yourself in ways you haven't even imagined, yet. It's deeply humbling and rewarding work. There's nothing quite like it. Come join us!

Don't feel like you need to fit into a predefined box matching the role you're applying for--you never know where the true opportunity may go after we meet you. We'll provide you with unparalleled levels of opportunity and resources, with the goal of creating experiences that influence the industry, as well as people's lives.

What you'll do:

* Work with the fellow designers, researchers, product managers, and engineers to define what we should build
* Create interactive mockups and lightweight prototypes to communicate and validate design decisions
* Create final design specs that define the customers' need, underlying hypotheses, and UX flow including details on accessibility and global readiness
* Work closely with engineers to ensure the design is implemented effectively and iterate in code to refine the design and respond to customer feedback

What you'll need:

* A current online portfolio with a link in your application
* A people-focused design mentality that wants to build products with meaningful impact
* A creative mind that thrives on a balance of strategic and tactical work
* Fluency with designing phone and large screen experiences. (Our customers' move across devices.)
* Awareness of trends in interaction; mobile, communications, and collaboration
* Experience using design components and pattern libraries--proficiency in Figma a plus
* Motion design, prototyping, and UI coding skills a double plus
* 5+ years of industry experience in interactive design and/or visual design
* A degree in one of the many product design fields or equivalent experience
