SUMMARY: The Mid-Sr. Designer for Global Navigation and Search supports the Unified Experience (UE) Core portfolio at Lilly. Operating as a flexible individual contributor, this role shifts dynamically between Global Navigation and Search initiatives based on evolving business priorities and product capacity. The position balances high-fidelity visual execution with strategic UX problem-solving, maintaining connective cohesion across primary user journeys and actively contributing reusable navigation and search patterns back into the global design system.
PRIMARY DUTIES:

- Deliver end-to-end user experience and visual design solutions for Global Navigation and Search surfaces based on priorities set by UE Core leadership.

- Transition fluidly between navigation and search workstreams as team capacity and business needs shift, rather than managing a single fixed digital property.

- Collaborate closely with respective surface design leads on complex UX challenges, interface architecture, and visual craft.

- Maintain cross-surface visual and interaction consistency between navigation and search components, preserving their shared connective role across the user journey.

- Partner with the design system team in a contribution-based model to feed search- and navigation-specific UI patterns, components, and documentation back into the design system.

- Ramp up rapidly on existing research , context, and technical constraints when shifting between workstreams.

COMPENTENCY:

- Context Fluidity & Adaptability: Thrives in ambiguous environments, quickly context-switching between different core surfaces without loss of quality or momentum.

- Design Craft & Execution: Demonstrates balance across visual UI detail, interaction design, and holistic UX problem-solving.

- Systemic Thinking: Identifies overlapping patterns across surfaces to drive consistency and scale solutions through system-level thinking.

- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partners seamlessly across design leads, product teams, engineering leads, and design system maintainers in a contribution-based model.

QUALIFICATIONS / REQUIRED EDUCATION:
- Bachelor’s degree in Design, Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Interaction Design, Fine Arts, or equivalent practical design experience.

Required:

- Comprehensive digital design portfolio demonstrating solid visual craft alongside end-to-end UX problem-solving processes.

- High comfort level with ambiguity, shifting team priorities, and rapid context-switching.

- Demonstrated capability to quickly absorb context, domain logic, and user requirements when entering new workstreams.

- Proficiency with modern design and prototyping tools (e.g., Figma).

- Experience operating within a collaborative, contribution-based design system workflow.

Preferred:

- Prior experience designing enterprise search interfaces, discovery experiences, or global header/footer navigation structures at scale.

- Familiarity with complex digital ecosystem implementations within healthcare, life sciences, or regulated enterprise env
