You’ll also explore emerging AI-assisted design workflows to rapidly develop and validate new ideas. As a senior member of the design function, you’ll elevate the work of teammates through collaboration, feedback, and thoughtful design leadership.

• Lead design work from ideation through launch, creating high-quality experiences, interactions, prototypes, and visual designs that translate product vision into intuitive user experiences.
• Shape product direction by identifying opportunities, pitching ideas, defining scope, and helping determine how initiatives should be executed.
• Conduct user research to uncover pain points, needs, and opportunities, using insights to guide product and design decisions.
• Leverage AI-assisted design tools and workflows to explore, prototype, validate, and communicate new ideas, features, and interactions.
• Contribute to the design system and help establish a cohesive, scalable visual and interaction language across the product.
• Collaborate with engineers to ensure design intent, usability, visual quality, and implementation details are maintained throughout development.
• Represent the design function by upholding a high design bar and advocating for thoughtful, intentional decisions across the product development process.
• Share feedback openly, collaborate constructively with other designers, and contribute to an environment where the broader team’s impact is continuously elevated.

Requirements:

• 7+ years of product design experience in fast-paced environments, working closely with Product, Engineering, Design, and other cross-functional partners.
• An outstanding portfolio with strong, presentable case studies demonstrating shipped product work and expertise in typography, interaction design, visual design, and ideation.
• Proven ability to simplify complex challenges into intuitive, elegant, and effective product experiences.
• Strong product thinking with the ability to move between detailed design execution and high-level strategic thinking while maintaining speed and quality.
• Deep understanding of design systems, including their evolution, underlying principles, and opportunities for future development.
• Strong ability to collaborate with engineers and product partners while developing a clear rationale for design and product decisions.
• Excellent written, verbal, and storytelling skills, with the ability to communicate ideas and design decisions clearly.
• Strong learning and growth mindset, with the flexibility to adapt to evolving processes, team structures, and product priorities.
• Empathy for users and teammates, combined with the resilience to receive, consider, and incorporate constructive feedback.
• Experience using AI design tools and workflows is valuable, particularly for rapid exploration and validation of concepts.
