• Champion best practices and elevate design thinking through leadership and example.
• Lead core and experimental projects, consistently raising the bar through hands‑on execution and strategic initiative.
• Own and drive medium‑term design strategy, juggling multiple projects and shifting between design work and oversight.
• Prioritize effectively to maintain momentum and deliver outcomes across complex, multi‑platform efforts.
• Maintain a professional presence and clearly articulate design rationale to diverse stakeholders.
• Collaborate closely with product, engineering, and business partners to drive outcomes.

What you’ll bring

• Recent experience as a Lead or a Senior designer, ready to step into a Lead role.
• Experience leading multi‑platform projects (native mobile, web, TV) with a hands‑on approach and collaboration with product and engineering.
• Proven ability to manage multiple design projects, shifting fluidly between hands‑on design and strategic oversight.
• A portfolio that highlights advanced UX/UI expertise, strong problem‑solving skills, and adaptability across new domains; includes documentation across the design process, such as user journeys, detailed flows, wireframes, and high‑fidelity designs.
• Excellent presentation skills and the ability to tailor delivery to the audience.
• Experience designing complex, data‑driven user flows; commerce experience is a plus.
