• Apply critical thinking and problem-solving techniques to tackle product challenges, identifying user pain-points and making recommendations to drive end goals
• Collaborate with the engineering team to understand technical restrictions and possibilities
• Champion consumer-first led experiences and be an advocate on behalf of our users
• Collaborate with teams and research to test your designs, then iterate and innovate based on data and findings
• Contribute to, help refine and grow multiple brand design systems
• Present and share work with cross-functional teams while clearly communicating design rationale and the importance to end users

What We’re Looking For:

• 3+ years of design experience working on products and websites (consumer facing) heavily informed by design system thinking

• Solid understanding of the concepts and processes behind design thinking, product strategy, user research, user testing and validation
• A creative portfolio of previous design work, demonstrating empathy for users
• Strong visual design sense, clean command over interaction design, typography and usability
• The ability to communicate design choices clearly and effectively across all functions and levels, and collect, process and respond to feedback

• Comfortable with change and can operate in a fast-paced environment
• Fluency in industry standard tools such as Figma, Sketch or Adobe XD
