Job Posting Organization: UNICEF, established in 1946, operates in over 190 countries and territories with a mission to save children's lives, defend their rights, and help them fulfill their potential from early childhood through adolescence. The organization is committed to promoting the rights of every child and offers diverse opportunities for professional and personal development to its staff. UNICEF prides itself on its inclusive culture and provides an attractive compensation and benefits package to its employees.
Job Overview: The UX/UI Product Designer will play a crucial role in enhancing UNICEF's digital products by crafting, testing, and improving web features. This position involves working closely with the Digital Governance and Platforms Team to create engaging web products that are intuitive and accessible. The designer will be responsible for integrating an A/B testing framework into the design process, contributing to the development of the UNICEF Design System, and ensuring that all designs meet accessibility standards. The role requires participation in Agile project management processes, including Sprint Planning and Demo sessions, and the delivery of high-quality design specifications in Figma. The consultancy is expected to evolve into a broader assignment with potential for additional phases and deliverables.
Duties and Responsibilities: The Product Designer will engage in 18 Design Sprints, delivering design concepts, functional prototypes, and final specifications for UI elements. Responsibilities include attending Sprint Planning sessions, collaborating with the Product Owner and Design Lead, developing A/B testing strategies, creating design prototypes, ensuring adherence to accessibility standards, and updating the UNICEF Design System based on testing outcomes. The designer will also document deliverables, provide annotated Figma files for developers, and conduct internal capacity-building sessions on A/B testing practices.
Required Qualifications: Candidates must possess a professional background in design, specifically in web, UX/UI, product, or user experience, with a minimum of 5 years of relevant experience. A strong digital portfolio showcasing user experience and interface design is essential. Candidates should demonstrate strong communication and presentation skills, as well as a proven ability to create intuitive and accessible web interfaces. Familiarity with product design tools is also required.
Educational Background: A Bachelor’s Degree in Design (web, UX/UI, product, user experience, graphic) or a related field is required. Alternatively, candidates with an unrelated Bachelor’s Degree may be considered if they have an additional two years of relevant work experience in UX/UI fields. This educational background is crucial for understanding design principles and methodologies.
Experience: The position requires at least 5 years of professional experience in design, specifically in areas related to web, UX/UI, product, or user experience. This level of experience is necessary to ensure that the candidate can effectively contribute to the design and development of UNICEF's digital products and platforms.
Languages: While the job description does not specify mandatory languages, proficiency in English is likely essential given the international nature of UNICEF's work. Additional languages may be beneficial but are not explicitly required.
Additional Notes: The consultancy is set to last from October 8, 2025, to September 29, 2026, and can be performed remotely, although the designer will need to coordinate with a team based in Valencia, Spain. An overlap in working hours is required. Candidates must submit a financial proposal detailing costs per deliverable and total lump-sum for the assignment, along with any travel costs, daily subsistence allowances, and other estimated costs such as visa and health insurance. UNICEF will cover any emergent travel expenses, and candidates must have health insurance in place at the time of contract award. Payment will be contingent upon the satisfactory completion of deliverables.
