• Act as a thought leader in product design, mentor other designers, and contribute to a culture of innovation and experimentation.

Requirements

• 10+ years of professional experience designing consumer-facing products for web and mobile, with a strong portfolio demonstrating UX thinking, visual design, and written communication.
• Proven ability to design at scale: creating reusable patterns and components for consistency and efficiency (systems thinking).
• Strong collaboration and influencing skills; proven ability to build relationships and influence stakeholders across Product, Engineering, and cross-functional teams.
• Experience driving design strategy and contributing to product roadmaps with measurable business and customer outcomes.
• Technical proficiency and fluency in Figma and prototyping tools; experience conducting user research studies and leveraging insights to inform design decisions.
