• Confidently present ideas and challenge thinking at the highest levels of the company.
• Operate confidently in a fast-moving, ever-evolving environment where priorities can shift quickly.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with Product, Engineering, and Marketing to embed design into everything we do.
• Drive user research and usability testing to uncover real customer insights.
• Establish and evolve scalable design systems that power fast, high-quality execution and align with our company brand.
• Advocate for design quality and coherence across all visual and experiential touchpoints.
  
  

What you’ll bring;

• 10+ years of experience in UX or product design, with a proven track record of delivering exceptional user experiences.
• 3+ years experience at leadership level
• A collaborative mindset with the confidence to speak up, debate ideas, and make tough calls.
• A portfolio that blends strategic impact with hands-on design excellence.
• Experience leading, mentoring, and scaling high-performing design teams.
• Strong systems thinking and product sensibility—you know what good looks like and how to get there.
• Extensive experience in Figma and other modern design and prototyping tools.
• Excellent storytelling skills—you can make complex things simple and rally others around your vision.
• A passion for understanding users and solving real problems.
  
  

Why join us?
