UX Designer Full Time NEW

As a UX Designer at Premier, you will execute interaction and visual design work for both internal enterprise tools and member-facing digital products. You will apply user research findings and business requirements to create user-centered designs that are intuitive, consistent, and aligned with Premier’s design standards.
