In this role, you’ll have an opportunity to shape the user experience in ways that solve meaningful problems and look broadly across our product portfolio. You’ll lead the charge in crafting and articulating the product vision in collaboration with your fellow designers and partners and in line with clear goals and rationales – leveraging expert visualization skills, thought leadership, and empathy. You’ll work with our latest design system while helping to define and scale our mobile design system, and build and test components and patterns iteratively and with the speed of innovation. From concept to final mockup, you’ll shape the user experience through storyboards, journey maps, wireframes, prototypes, and more — translating ideas into clear, compelling designs.

• Systems thinking; ability to step back and see a project’s larger ecosystem, with a focus on solutions that improve not just one feature but the entire user flow

• Demonstrated behaviors, attitudes, actions, and judgments that inspire employees to follow and other leaders to trust

• Expert knowledge of current design tools such as Figma, along with an ability to quickly learn new tools as they emerge

• Experience developing software that is global in reach, universal in design, and designed for users of multiple languages and abilities
