• Industry‑Leading Tooling: Utilize advanced design and prototyping tools (e.g., Figma, Adobe Creative Suite) to deliver interactive mockups and technical specifications for development teams.
• Project & Stakeholder Management: Manage multiple project timelines simultaneously, providing regular updates to cross‑section departments and ensuring all deliverables are met with creative excellence.
• Usability Advocacy: Use data‑driven insights and user feedback to iterate on designs, advocating for the user’s needs while aligning with the broader commercial strategy.

• Prototyping & Interaction: Proven ability to create interactive, high‑fidelity prototypes that effectively communicate motion, transitions, and complex user flows to stakeholders and developers.
• Design Systems: Experience in building, maintaining, or contributing to a scalable Design System, ensuring consistency across multiple digital touchpoints and platforms (Web, iOS, Android).
• Cross‑Functional Collaboration: Demonstrated ability to work effectively in an Agile environment, collaborating closely with Product Managers, Engineers, and Marketing teams to balance user needs with technical and business constraints.
• Research & Data‑Driven Design: Experience in planning and conducting user research, usability testing, and heuristic evaluations. Ability to translate raw data and user feedback into actionable design improvements.
• Technical Literacy: A solid understanding of front‑end technologies (HTML/CSS/JS capabilities and limitations) to ensure design hand‑offs are seamless and implementable.
• Strategic Communication: Excellent presentation skills with the ability to articulate “the why” behind design decisions to non‑design departments and senior leadership.
