Design:

• Lead the full design process for the teams you work with
• Explore and envision brand new solution ideas through rapid mockups and iterations
• Design elegant high-fidelity UIs that make complex legal and financial workflows intuitive but efficient
• Produce functional prototypes which can be used for early user validation and refinement
• Develop and maintain our design system to drive consistency and scale design

Collaboration:

• Partner with Product Managers to shape product strategy and prioritize features based on user needs and business goals
• Work closely with Engineering to co-design and ship high quality solutions
• Confidently facilitate workshops with your product teams and the broader design team

Discovery and Research:

• A clear communicator, able to tell stories that bring others on the journey and effectively advocate for our users
• Exemplary team player who provides support, actively seeks feedback and opportunities to collaborate
• Experience building and maintaining design systems
• Proficiency with modern design tools (we primarily use Figma)
• Comfortable using a mix of qualitative and quantitative research methods to inform design decisions

Desirable:
