Job Description
The UI/UX Designer at Raising The Village supports the design and enhancement of
intuitive, accessible, and human-centered user interfaces for RTV’s digital platforms. The
Designer focuses on translating user needs into clean, functional designs that work in
diverse environments, especially for rural field users and low-bandwidth contexts,
ensuring excellent experiences for different user groups. This role involves working
closely with product managers, Web and Mobile Developers/Engineers, and Quality
Assurance teams to deliver wireframes, prototypes, and user-tested visual interfaces that
align with RTV’s design system and digital impact goals.
Key Responsibilities
1. Human-Centered Product Design
● Conduct field-informed user research, usability testing, and contextual inquiry to
understand user behaviors, constraints, and motivations across rural and field
based environments.
● Translate user insights into actionable design concepts including personas, user
journeys, wireframes, and prototypes that directly respond to real-world use cases.
● Advocate for inclusive, accessible, and localized design approaches that serve
both tech-savvy users and those in low-literacy, low-connectivity settings.
2. Interface and Interaction Design
● Design intuitive, responsive, and platform-consistent user interfaces for mobile and
web applications using modern design tools such as Figma.
● Create polished, high-fidelity mockups and interactive prototypes that clearly
define layout, flow, interactions, and microcopy for complex workflows and data
capture scenarios.
● Apply and adapt the RTV Design System to create scalable and consistent UI
solutions, while identifying edge cases and UI gaps for escalation.
3. Design Implementation Support
● Work closely with frontend engineers to ensure design fidelity, accessibility, and
implementation accuracy during development sprints.
● Prepare annotated design specifications, versioned files, interaction guidelines,
and assets to streamline handoff and collaboration.
● Actively participate in backlog grooming, sprint reviews, Quality Assurance cycles,
and bug triaging to ensure that user experience is maintained from concept to
release.
4. Feedback-Driven Iteration
● Continuously refine and iterate designs based on stakeholder input, field test
results, and post-launch usage feedback.
● Collaborate with the UI/UX Engineer to identify pain points, improve task flows, and
raise UX concerns backed by evidence and user observation.
● Contribute to documentation and post-implementation reviews that drive future
design decisions.
5. Design System Stewardship
● Ensure all components and UI patterns used in design work conform to RTV’s
Intelligent Design System and help maintain visual and behavioral consistency
across the platform ecosystem.
● Identify opportunities to expand or improve system components, and contribute to
discussions on interface standardization and UX maturity.
6. Cross-Functional Collaboration
● Engage proactively with Product leadership, Quality Assurance Engineers, and
Developers to co-create meaningful solutions aligned with user needs and project
goals.
● Participate in product ideation, roadmap planning, and design critiques as a key
contributor to RTV’s digital product development lifecycle.
Qualifications & Skills
● Bachelor’s degree in Software Engineering, Computer Science, or related field.
● 3+ years of experience designing for digital platforms (web/mobile).
● Proficiency in Figma.
● Strong understanding of responsive and mobile-first design.
● Portfolio demonstrating clean, user-centered design.
Core Competencies
● Empathy and attention to user context.
● Visual consistency and attention to detail.
● Collaboration and communication skills.
