You will work with Product, Engineering, Analytics, and Brand to drive end-to-end UX from discovery to post-purchase, raising the quality and consistency of product design across the team.

The role requires 7+ years in product design, strong mobile expertise, and a track record of mentoring designers.

Qualifications

• 7+ years of product design experience, ideally with e-commerce, marketplace, or consumer-facing digital products.
• Strong app-first product mindset and demonstrated experience identifying opportunities to use native mobile capabilities.
• Experience leading complex, high-impact product initiatives with significant autonomy, from early problem definition through launch.
• Significant experience working with and contributing to mature design systems, including evolving existing patterns and introducing scalable new ones.
• Advanced proficiency in Figma, including components, variants, libraries, variables, prototyping, and scalable design practices.

Responsibilities

• Lead end-to-end UX for high-impact, complex product initiatives, from defining the problem and experience strategy through detailed design, testing, iteration, and launch.
• Champion an app-first design mentality, identifying how native mobile behaviors can create better experiences rather than simply adapting web patterns for mobile.
• Shape core e-commerce experiences across discovery, browsing, PDPs, cart, checkout, account, order management, and post-purchase.
• Establish strong UX direction for your areas of ownership, connecting features into a cohesive end-to-end customer experience.
• Partner with Product and Engineering to influence product strategy, prioritization, and roadmaps with a strong customer perspective.
• Work with design system evolution, improving components, patterns, and interaction standards across app and web.
• Collaborate with designers and engineers on design system implementation for scalable components.
• Engage in experimentation and A/B testing, translating learnings into UX improvements.
• Use research and data to inform product decisions and improve usability.
• Maintain high visual craft and ensure brand-aligned polished experiences.
