If the company is based around a single interaction, then yes, there is a lot of figuring out around the logistics that go into it.
BUT
That's a job for the technical team to sort through, seeing as that they have the skills to work through the technical knowhow and implementation.
UNLESS
This job is really to paint a short story about how easy it is for one login to be accomplished to SELL the idea up the chain or to set up the company's preferences.
Seems trivial for lead-level work unless the title "lead is there only to assist the practitioner in counterparting with other departments.
Either way. zzzz
- I mean, it's super easy to look at a job in SF and be like "Well they have venture capital to burn."jtb26
- and it works because that company never has to turn a profit, they just need to get acquired by a bigger company for $profit$jtb26
- I don't think a single interaction is their product. Looks like there's a lot more that goes into it - https://www.onelogin…mg33
- Fine. Compliance and provisioning. Still a "non-experience" experience.cannonball1978
- SaaS is responsible for lots of paychecks and mouths fed. Sure it's all little bull-shitty but folks gotta eat man. It's just as disposable as anything else.jtb26
- Ask yourself: is someone with "designer" in their title the best person to figure out provisioning devices, or should a technical manager design that one.cannonball1978
- Are you saying that their suite of products, how they work, how they improve them, doesn't need UX people to be created?mg33
- Yes, I am saying that.cannonball1978
- OK, I kind of get what you're saying... sort of...mg33
- Is that company wrong if they find value in a UX designer offering insights, conducting research, evaluating data, etc, focusing on the interface, etc.?mg33
- I'm just really trying to, honestly, understand the "this is a UX job listing for a product that doesn't need UX" thing.mg33
- @jtb26 sure, but mouthes don't "deserve" to be fed. Yeas a job is a job, but my contention is that designers come up against meaningless jobscannonball1978
- Do you believe this company would derive the best value from you? Or does this company believe having UX on staff signifies corporate health for an acquisition?cannonball1978
- And more importantly: does this job interest you?cannonball1978
- Hard to say from a job description. I'd want to know where they want to take their product(s), how their team's work together, what value they feel they providemg33
- to their customers.mg33
- No, not just from a job description. Doesn't tell me much about the company, work environment, culture, etc.mg33
- I checked the site out and it feels like a million other tech companies selling a widget.mg33
- They've got "Keep Calm and Single Sign On" t-shirts though!mg33
