• Partner with Product Managers and Engineers to define vision, prioritize opportunities, ideate, conceptualize, and validate solutions.
• Rapidly prototype concepts, Proofs of Concept (POCs), and MVPs using human-centered design principles and AI-assisted design tools.
• Present design concepts, rationale, and recommendations to cross-functional teams and senior leadership.
• Create user flows, journey maps, prototypes, and high-fidelity experiences that deliver exceptional customer outcomes.
• Leverage atomic design principles to build cohesive, scalable experiences that accelerate product delivery while maintaining quality and consistency.
• Contribute to scalable design systems and champion high-quality, accessible experiences across the product ecosystem.
Must Have

• Experience using Figma Make (or similar AI-assisted design tools) to accelerate ideation, prototyping, and iteration.
• Ability to translate product vision into scalable experience frameworks, interaction patterns, and reusable components.
• Strong UX foundation with deep understanding of component architecture, behaviors, responsive layouts, and design systems.
• Experience designing for B2B and B2B2C business models; experience launching global products is a strong plus.
• Strong product thinking with the ability to contribute to product strategy and clearly articulate design decisions and tradeoffs.
• Experience leveraging customer research, usability testing, experimentation, and analytics to inform design decisions and measure outcomes.
• Ability to understand technical constraints and implications when making design decisions.
• Demonstrated success applying Design Thinking and human-centered design methodologies to bring products from concept to market.
• Experience evolving and maintaining design systems to support changing business and customer needs.

Nice to Have
