• Drive design decisions that are iterative, data-informed, and aligned with agile development cycles.
• Collaborate deeply with product managers, font-end developers, and data scientists to deliver modular, scalable, and easy-to-implement solutions.
• Serve as the go-to Figma expert, building high-quality components and maintaining a design system while leveraging auto-layout, tokens, and shared variables.
• Partner with front-end developers to ensure seamless design-to-dev handoff, focusing on implementation-friendly design structure.
• Liaise with our dedicated research and data science teams to incorporate qualitative and quantitative user insights into design decisions.
• Design for data-intensive, B2B interfaces such as dashboards, campaign metrics, and performance reporting tools.
• Maintain awareness of social trends, marketing workflows, and creator/influencer ecosystems to inform product development.
• Lead and collaborate with supporting designers to ensure cohesive execution across shared initiatives
