What you'll do

• Own the Events experience end to end. Across the different personas and event stages, shape what's worth solving, and bring the team with you.

• Lead strategic conversations across your triad and with leadership, shaping direction and scope.

• Partner with PM, engineering and our events support team from the earliest stages of scope-setting, driving execution with craft and speed once direction is set.

• Conduct and synthesize user research to deeply understand customer problems, translating insights into clear, intuitive experiences that reduce complexity and guide users toward confident outcomes. Become an industry insider.

• Bridge user needs and business goals, making sure design has a clear voice in shaping what gets built and why.

• Prototype rapidly using tools like Claude and Cursor to explore interaction patterns early, accelerate decision-making, and shorten the path from idea to shipped product.

• Stay current on emerging AI trends and product patterns. Build a clear point of view on what matters, and bring that perspective into how we design at Perk.

• Lift the team around you. Contribute to crit culture, set patterns others can build on, and raise the bar on craft across Events.

What you'll need

• A staff-level IC track record, with examples of end-to-end ownership at scale.

• Experience working autonomously to design complex, multi-step product flows. Ability to move fluidly between the big question (what should this experience even do?) and the craft-level detail that makes high‑stakes decisions feel simple.

• Strong customer empathy and design thinking.

• Fluency in data, using qualitative and quantitative signals to validate design decisions, measure impact, and inform tradeoffs.

• Demonstrated ability to influence product direction inside cross‑functional teams.

• Strong communication and storytelling skills. Ability to articulate design rationale, tradeoffs, and vision clearly to product, engineering, and senior stakeholders.

• AI as a working default. Fluency with modern prototyping tools (Claude, Cursor, Bolt) and a clear point of view on when AI belongs in the product and when it doesn't. This shows up in how you investigate, prototype, and ship.

• Comfort with design/collaboration environments like Figma and Git.
