  • Support conversation tuning using qualitative and quantitative data.
  • Create recording scripts, maintain prompt catalogs, and ensure adherence to established persona and voice guidelines.
  • Participate in testing to ensure applications function as designed.
  • Apply human-centered design methods to frame problems, identify patterns, uncover opportunities, and visualize possible solutions.
  • Stay current on conversational AI, voice interaction design, Microsoft Copilot, and emerging UX best practices.
  • Mentor or support less experienced designers when appropriate.
Required Qualifications
  • 3–5 years of relevant UX, interaction design, conversational design, or related experience.
  • Experience designing conversational experiences, including voice, chat, virtual assistants, or IVR applications.
  • Hands-on experience with Microsoft Copilot or related Microsoft AI/productivity tools.
  • Proficiency creating wireframes, flows, and prototypes in Figma.
  • Strong understanding of the Software Development Life Cycle, and experience working with product and engineering teams.
  • Experience creating user flows, wireframes, prototypes, sample dialogs, and interface specifications.
  • Ability to facilitate workshops, proposal discussions, and stakeholder alignment sessions.
  • Strong communication, organization, and leadership skills.
  • Ability to work independently in a remote environment.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Bachelor’s degree in Human-Computer Interaction, Linguistics, Cognitive Science, Graphic Design, Digital Communications, Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
  • Experience with IVR application design.
