• Create wireframes, mockups, and interactive prototypes to visualize design concepts.
• Conduct usability testing and gather user feedback to iterate on designs.
• Collaborate with product designers, product managers, developers, and other stakeholders to ensure designs are feasible and aligned with business goals.
• Maintain and contribute to the design system and ensure design consistency across products.
• Manage multiple projects in a fast-paced environment.
• Stay up-to-date with industry trends and best practices to continually improve our design processes and outputs.
• Contribute to a scalable Design System.

What We’re Looking For

• +5 years of experience in Product design, preferably in a B2B / SaaS environment.
• Strong portfolio demonstrating expertise in user-centered design principles, processes, and deliverables.
• Experience using Figma.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to present and defend design decisions.
• Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
• Knowledge of accessibility standards and best practices.
