UI and UX Strategist at Booz Allen Hamilton

UI and UX Strategist:

The Opportunity

Are you looking to shape how users interact with digital twins and immersive applications—including AR, VR, XR, and simulation environments? We’re seeking a UX Strategist to define how users understand, navigate, and engage with complex 3D experiences built in Unity.

You’ll work at the intersection of UX research, interaction design, and data visualization, creating workflows and interaction models that extend beyond traditional 2D interfaces into spatial and immersive environments. In this role, you’ll collaborate with UX practitioners, developers, solutions architects, and product managers to translate user research into actionable insights. You’ll contribute across the full design process, from research and information architecture to prototyping, usability testing, and implementation—advocating for design improvements that keep the user at the center.

We hire for complementary strengths, some candidates will focus more on research and strategy, others on interaction and visual design. Success requires cross‑disciplinary collaboration and ownership of end‑to‑end experiences.

Join us. The world can’t wait.

You Have:

• 3+ years of experience in UX research, UX (User Experience) and UI (User Interface) design, or product design

• Experience planning and conducting user research, including discovery, interviews, usability testing, or field studies, and synthesizing insights into personas, journey maps, and experience frameworks

• Experience in defining interaction models, shaping UX strategy, and communicating ideas effectively while collaborating with design, engineering, or product cross‑functional partners

• Experience with collaboration and analysis tools, such as Mural or Fig Jam

• Ability to display a portfolio representing research strategy or interaction and visual design

• Ability to translate user needs and data insights into clear, actionable product and design decisions for complex systems and enterprise-level applications

• Ability to obtain a Secret clearance

• Bachelor's degree

Nice If You Have:

• Experience designing or researching advanced 3D, spatial, and immersive environments, including AR, VR, or XR, simulations, gaming platforms, and hybrid 2D or 3D interfaces

• Experience with Unity and related gaming or real‑time engines, as well as spatial UX patterns, digital twins, and emerging interaction paradigms

• Experience in data visualization, analytics platforms, and contributing to or maintaining scalable design systems

• Experience mentoring or influencing team direction

• Experience working in advising and Agile delivery environments

• Knowledge of accessibility and compliance standards such as W3C or Section 508

• Ability to lead workstreams from concept through delivery, including facilitating workshops, stakeholder discussions, and design reviews
