• Use design tools and AI‑assisted workflows to improve speed, quality, and collaboration across the design process

What you bring

• You have experience leading design work independently on complex projects, ideally in small teams or early‑stage environments
• You are comfortable working within regulated domains and collaborating with legal or compliance partners
• You can communicate design decisions clearly and influence stakeholders at multiple levels of the organization
• You are experienced with modern design tools (e.g., Figma) and have incorporated AI tools into your workflow to improve efficiency
