Microsoft’s Digital Transformation Studios is looking for a Senior UX Designer to help drive innovation in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management.

The company and team

At Microsoft, we have a clear mission and bold ambitions: empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more through our technology and innovation. To make that a reality our Digital Transformation Studios team is crafting solutions that help customers transform their businesses by shipping experiences that unite Azure, Microsoft Power Platform, Dynamics 365, and Microsoft 365.

Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management is one of the broadest portfolios of connected applications and solutions that spans the breadth of how the world plans, designs, produces, fulfils, ships and services products and we’re set to modernize supply chain operations.

Modern-day supply chain disruptions have been felt world-wide and we believe technology can help companies become more resilient and sustainable while supporting teams to work more collaboratively, helping companies optimize the delivery of goods, services, and information from supplier to customer for a more efficient and sustainable future.

We're growing and if you’re a UX designer who loves to learn, solve challenges, and dream up breakthrough ideas, we'd love for you to be a part of our story! Come join a positive and collaborative team — where everyone is encouraged to bring their authentic selves — and work at the forefront of Microsoft’s product portfolio.

The role

You’ve worked on multiple digital projects already, and you're interested in learning more about the supply chain management space. As a tireless advocate for the customer, you’re excited to build and iterate on designs to discover what works best and applying your knowledge to create incredible software products that will change the world for the better.

You’ve got strong communication skills and can bring your team together to simplify, integrate, and co-create successful customer experiences.
