Practise the Lead UX Designer at IMC interview free →At IMC, our trading tools are the environment traders and researchers live in all day. As a Lead UX Designer, you will help define how users understand the market, explore data, and make decisions in real time. This role combines deep workflow design with thoughtful, high quality user experience.
IMC is making a significant reinvestment in its trading platform, rethinking core tools, workflows, and interaction patterns from the ground up. You will be on the ground floor of that effort, with real influence over how the platform evolves and how great UX shows up across the firm.
You will work closely with traders, quantitative researchers, and engineers to design interfaces that are fast, intuitive, and well crafted. The goal is tools that feel natural under pressure, support complex decision making, and are genuinely good to use day after day.
Your Core Responsibilities:
- Collaborate with traders, quantitative researchers, and engineers to design interfaces that support core trading behavior
- Develop a deep understanding of user needs, workflows, and day to day usage through research and observation
- Translate complex requirements into intuitive, coherent, and visually clear designs
- Design information-dense, high-reliability interfaces for expert power users, where speed, accuracy and clarity under pressure are critical
- Balance efficiency with usability and visual quality across critical workflows
- Lead the evolution of shared design systems and interaction patterns
- Advocate for user centered design and usability testing throughout the product lifecycle
- Partner with engineering to ensure designs are feasible, scalable, and well implemented
- Navigate conflicting feedback and propose thoughtful tradeoffs aligned with user and business goals
- Help define and drive a UX vision aligned with the platform’s future direction
Your Skills and Experience:
- Experience designing systems that are the central focus of a user’s entire day to day
- A strong portfolio demonstrating both interaction design and visual craft
- Experience working with complex or technical products in fast paced environments
- Strong intuition for designing tools used under time pressure
- Fluency in wireframing, prototyping, and communicating design intent
- Ability to collaborate deeply with engineers and understand implementation constraints
- Clear and effective communicator across disciplines
- Pragmatic mindset that values simplicity, consistency, and quality
