About the Job
Job Title: UX Strategy Lead (Power BI / Figma)
Location: Cleveland, OH (Hybrid)
Employment Type: Contract (W2 through ZipStaff — No C2C or 1099)

About the Opportunity
ZipStaff is seeking a UX Strategy Lead for enterprise analytics at a global technology services firm supporting a Cleveland-based program.

You will run design-thinking workshops and turn them into Power BI dashboard experiences in Figma—then manage scope, schedule, and benefits. This is a UX lead seat, not a Power BI report builder.

What You’ll Do:
  • Lead design-thinking workshops on goals, user needs, and decision-making.
  • Translate insights into actionable, feasible Power BI experiences using Figma.
  • Facilitate discovery and stakeholder workshops.
  • Define personas, journeys, KPIs, and reporting requirements.
  • Create information architecture, wireframes, prototypes, and dashboard concepts.
  • Keep designs inside Power BI capabilities and data constraints.
  • Partner with business, data, and Power BI developers.
  • Run usability reviews and iterate.
  • Own project planning, schedule, scope, and change control.
  • Track benefits so UX work shows business value.

Required Qualifications:
  • 8+ years UX, product design, or design-strategy work (lead-level).
  • Hands-on Figma for IA, wireframes, and prototypes.
  • Experience designing Power BI (or equivalent BI) dashboard experiences—not slides only.
  • Workshop facilitation with business and technical stakeholders.
  • Ability to balance user need, business goal, and technical constraint.
  • Project scope, schedule, and change management.
  • Ability to work hybrid / on-site in Cleveland, OH.
  • Must be legally authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship now or in the future.

Preferred Qualifications:
  • Benefits realization / value tracking.
  • Enterprise analytics or regulated-industry reporting.
  • Usability testing of BI tools.
