• Drive the UX efforts for a complex and central area; identifying the UX work needed and help build a vision for the future state
  
  
• Work closely with Product Owners and Business stakeholders in exploring the problem space and ideate on solutions, and drive the research, design, and test – in other words: driving the design of delightful end to end experiences from product conception to launch. 
  
  

• Make conceptual ideas and refine them into a useful and valuable product experience. 
  
  
• Provide designs for new features for inflight products
  
  
• Develop site maps, user flows, wireframes, mock-ups, and production-ready specs.
  
  
• Collaborate with the rest of the design community within Maersk to ensure a consistent and cohesive experience across Maersk products.

• Familiarity with design software like Sketch, Axure, and Figma – we primarily use Figma. 
  
  
• A strong and clean visual design sense. 
  
  
• Experience working in an agile development process and/or iterative UX environment – and an environment that is undergoing large change. 
  
  
• Excellent problem-solving skills and an analytical mindset 
  
  

• Ability to work independently with stakeholders while liaising and reviewing with fellow designers 
  
  
• Proven ability to collaborate and to communicate ideas and design rationale – verbally and written.
