As part of the Front-end Enablement team for IT Development, you will lead and coordinate a team of UX/UI designers, collaborating closely with developers at various expertise levels to standardize front-end practices, technologies, and deliveries across Statkraft IT, spanning Norway, Germany, England, and India. 

You'll engage directly with business users across different departments, gaining insights into producing, selling, and maintaining renewable energy assets. You’ll also learn about hydrology, power markets, and preventive maintenance. Your work will help streamline user experiences, enabling our teams to accelerate their essential work. As a key contact for new business initiatives, you’ll build and maintain an extensive network across the organization. 

We use Figma as our primary design tool and have established a component library that you’ll help maintain and further develop.
