About the role

  • Contribute to shaping outcomes at the intersection of business needs, service design, and digital product experience
  • Engage across the process—from research and insight gathering to shaping experience strategies
  • Contribute to client workshops, designing UX/UI systems, exploring how AI-driven thinking can enhance product and service ecosystems
  • Work closely with teammates and clients, gaining exposure to the full design process
  • Build confidence to navigate complexity with support and mentorship
  • Collaborate with clients in workshops, research, and prototyping to uncover opportunities, reduce risk, and drive innovation
  • Help shape the future of mobility and design multi-channel healthcare journeys

Requirements

  • You have 1 to 4+ years of applicable design experience
  • You must have excellent written and spoken English skills; this is 100% an English position
  • You are an actual digital product designer e.g. you move pixels around with precision and have a portfolio that demonstrates it (no offense to you user researchers, we value you too -- just not for this role)
  • You enjoy learning about new industries and are a quick study
  • You are looking for opportunities to help brands define their character
  • You are a solid visual and interaction designer with the appetite to learn or improve your skills for translating user research insights into actionable strategy
  • You enjoy creating modular, scalable wireframes and mockups that creatively apply consistent interface patterns across a variety of use cases and device types
  • You can design using Sketch or Figma and can adapt to new tools as they become available
  • You know transactional data and what to do with it. You eat data visualization for lunch
  • You like reducing the friction between the end user and their goals by pushing the limits of artificial intelligence
  • You have a keen sense of motion design, 3D, and frontend technologies; or you want to learn
  • You love to combine empathy with design to create usable experiences
  • You are up for the challenge of charting new markets and inventing new industries
  • You come with experience but want to learn new methodologies; you can share and collaborate with others on UX/UI guidelines and design patterns
  • Your critical thinking skills are a strong attribute that helps you work through abstract and complex processes
  • You understand that working at an agency gives you a wide perspective of many industries, processes, budget constraints, timelines, and unique customer needs
  • You have an appetite for learning from your peers and sharing your knowledge
  • You can clearly express yourself and defend what you create, how it drives your process, and most importantly, why it is effective.
  • You enjoy working with others, collaborating with your team and customers, and understand that there is no I in Momentum.
  • Must be able to travel to customer or other work-related locations from time to time (less than 20%).
  • Creating and conducting User/Customer/Stakeholder interviews, Solution Validation Interviews, and Usability Testing
  • Conducting current state assessments inclusive of heuristic evaluations and your expert analysis.
  • Review and parse user research findings
  • Understand, conceptualize, create and communicate user mental models, personas, user flow diagrams, journey maps, and other information architecture deliverables.

  • Core Contribution—Small team means big impact. Every team member’s contribution has a tremendous impact on the project and our clients
  • Autonomy—Our staff own their work, and you will have autonomy over how to get it done
  • Project Diversity—In a months span, you may work on the next mobile social network, internet of things product, ad platform, or financial services product
