As a Senior User Experience Designer with a Conversational Design Focus, you bring strong UX fundamentals but more uniquely a deep understanding of conversation or service design. You will be responsible for defining ideal conversational flows for a range of use cases. This means you have a deep understanding of how the best AI Assistants respond, ask follow‑up questions, recover from mistakes, or elevate to humans when needed. You are comfortable working in ambiguous, evolving problem spaces with moderate supervision. Your deliverables could include flowcharts, scripts, or storyboards that capture how AI systems behave in real conversations, as opposed to traditional UI designs. You may come from a traditional UX background, or from adjacent fields such as conversation design, content design, or CX, with demonstrated experience building AI‑driven experiences in practice.
Team
You will be part of Genesys design, a roughly 100 person team of designers, researchers, educators, and operations specialists. Your immediate team will have 7 designers, dedicated to crafting powerful employee copilots that explore new ways of interacting using conversation.
