(USA) Staff, UX Designer - Data Ventures

About the position

We're building Walmart Data Ventures from the ground up, and high-quality Product Design is critical to our foundation. Our disruptive data products serve millions of customers, suppliers, and associates across our unique user ecosystem. Join our mission of crafting world class data experiences with, and for, the biggest brands in the world. As a Staff Product Designer, you'll lead design for our multiple products in our growing portfolio. You'll work across functions and stakeholder groups, contributing your deep knowledge of the human-centered design process to deliver new products at the appropriate speed and level of fidelity to inform strategic business decisions. If you're motivated by solving complex problems alongside some of the brightest folks in the industry, then this is the opportunity for you.

Responsibilities

• Define and drive design vision, strategy, and approach, directly impacting our business strategy and direction
• Design at the appropriate fidelity - use frameworks, sketches, diagrams, user flows, information architecture, wireframes, and prototypes to communicate and pressure test ideas
• Use your expertise of design thinking to facilitate cross-functional conversations and workshops, gather and give shape to ideas from our partner teams, and rapidly build prototypes for testing and iteration
• Collaborate closely with our cross-functional partners in Business Strategy, Product Management, Engineering, Data Science, and beyond, to ensure we're getting the best out of our teams, maintaining alignment, and translating Walmart's complex data ecosystem into high-value products
• Act as a leader within our growing Product Design organization, sharing knowledge, mentoring on best practices, shaping our culture, and helping the team stay up to date on how today's high-performing design teams operate

Requirements

• A portfolio showcasing shipped design work, preferably in high-complexity industries like finance, healthcare, big data, or other enterprise areas
• Deep understanding of design thinking methodologies and user- / human-centered product design and development
• Track record for turning ambiguity and complexity into effective design solutions
• Ability to leverage the 'superpowers' of design (visualization, rapid prototyping, pressure testing ideas early and often) to influence product + business direction
• You thrive in constant zero-to-one product exploration - you understand that killing ideas in favor of uncovering the best ideas is critical to new business success
