Description

Support HeidelbergCement on its way to become a leader in the digitalized concrete, cement and aggregates business!

The HeidelbergCement Digital initiatives are set to create the best digital experience for our customers. We want to create real value for our customers by applying cutting-edge technologies to our core business lines. We know that to be successful, we need to put our end users in the center of product development. Our customers increasingly want to engage with us through non-traditional, digital channels and we want to provide them with a great experience. This requires a deep understanding of the end user’s needs and a relentless drive to meet them. Our benchmark is not our competition; our benchmarks are Amazon and Uber.

As a UX Designer, you will be running research with end-users, creating concepts, wireframes, prototypes and screen designs for our digital products that will reach a growing global user base across 50+ countries. As part of a high-performing team, you will work closely with UX researchers, product owner, business analysts, solution owners and development teams to create and shape key experiences, build a consistent narrative across various digital initiatives, and ultimately build trust across all touch points with our end users.

You will be a part of the UX & Analytics team, and work in an embedded fashion with a digital product team in HeidelbergCement. You will report to our Global Head of UX and Analytics and be able to work remotely throughout Germany.

Your next challenge:

• Primarily responsible for creating a target experience (aka “north star design experience”) for a given product or service
• As an embedded team member, analyze UX “problems” and create design solutions that meet measurable business requirements and goals
• Create interaction flows, wireframes, prototypes, low/hi-fidelity designs throughout the design process
• Incorporate market analysis, user feedback, technical constraints, and usability findings into recommendations for design
• As/when applicable, run user interviews to unpack user needs
• Work in close partnership with the product team to come up with a holistic research + design plan
• Present design concepts to the working teams and key stakeholders
• Coach, empower and consult the product teams in user-centered design thinking tools and techniques
• Collaborate with UX designers beyond the working teams to create a shared knowledgebase
• Approach your work with a global mindset, advocate for user-centricity
• Be a champion for all-things UX
