FactSet’s UX team is growing, and we are looking for User Researchers, Interaction Designers, and Visual Designers to help shape the next generation UI of our product suite.
If you like to tackle complex problems, design new solutions, and work in a collaborative environment, you’ll fit right in at FactSet.
Come join this award winning team (Advisor Dashboard was named Best in Portfolio Analytics by WealthManagement.com) and be at the forefront of re-thinking and re-envisioning how FactSet’s clients interact with our products and move throughout our overall solution.
What you can expect day to day:

This could be working with our design system team on a new component, creating a test with user research to validate a design, or partnering with a visual designer improve UI elements.
- Own the process and workflow for various components in our design system.
From ideation, to design jams, to Figma component construction you’ll work with visual design, research, and engineering to improve and build our new design system.
- Drive UX culture across the organization by promoting design thinking, design principles, and managing expectations within product teams.
What we value as members of the UX team:
- We collaborate early and often in and outside of the core UX group.
- We have varied backgrounds and perspectives that bring something valuable to the table.
- We help each other learn, grow, and become better designers.
- We prioritize a healthy work-life balance because the best ideas come when we are engaged, not exhausted.
- We focus on creating solutions instead of pointing out problems and limitations.
- We care about our work and know the value of compromise.
- We work to create a low ego environment with designs based on data and principles.
- We appreciate and respect each other, while also having a good time at work.
