• Raise the bar for interaction design, information architecture, accessibility, and reusable design patterns.
• Mentor designers and help evolve how the team approaches systems thinking, craft, and AI-native design.

What we’re looking for

• 8 to 10+ years of product design experience, including complex, cross-functional work in consumer technology.

• Comfort navigating ambiguity and balancing long-term vision with near-term execution.
• A track record of influencing senior stakeholders and aligning teams without direct authority.
• Strong storytelling, facilitation, and communication skills.
• Experience using AI-assisted design or coding tools to explore, prototype, and communicate ideas.
• A portfolio demonstrating Staff-level thinking, strong craft, and meaningful product or organizational impact.
