The UX Designer (abbreviation for User Experience) is responsible, as the name implies, for ensuring that the design of the application meets all users' needs, ensuring their satisfaction by interacting with our company, platforms or brands.

UX Designers are mainly responsible for developing user navigation maps, usability tests, creation, development, and implementation of innovative and attractive solutions, prototyping, user and process flow, and to link the communicative interaction to the Design concepts. Once the tests have been carried out, along with our partner's feedback, they also optimize the created platforms, performing the documentation of all processes. To conclude, these professionals are responsible for benchmarking, making enhancement studies, creating navigability standards for performance optimization, creating engagement, and guaranteeing conversion rates across multiple platforms.

From the user documentation, all employees across the company are required to be well aware of our solutions’ core features and functions such as the Password Advisor or how to send an automatic crash report. This knowledge helps us facilitate a user-centric approach internally, which we believe is essential to develop our business and solutions. The user documentation helps team members understand user behavior and needs more thoroughly and feel the impact of their everyday efforts. Secure OS 4

They need to be aware of commonly used concepts in our day-to-day activities such as our business and distribution model, value proposition, selling prices, key selling points, and target audience. The information in the Sales Documentation supports employees in their daily routine. It conveys the overall business vision within the company. This documentation contributes to making employees aware of how our solutions are distributed, who are our key partners and target market to know exactly the people towards whom team members’ efforts should be aimed. Alignment on company-wide priorities is also achieved through clear communication of our value proposition and key selling points, helping everyone understand the things that matter most. Secure OS 4

From the Support Documentation, employees should also extract general level knowledge regarding support processes, the issues that we’re currently having product-wise, and the approach to troubleshooting them. o The Support Documentation helps employees understand short-term priorities more clearly and communicate more openly why they’re needed. It also gives them general knowledge of how to spot and report a problem, which helps us facilitate a company-wide contribution to product development.
