  • Identify new product opportunities through deep understanding of user needs, industry trends, and business strengths
  • Lead early-stage ideation, sketching, and prototyping of new concepts
  • Design and run lean research and testing to validate ideas quickly
  • Set and uphold a high bar for design quality and consistency
  • Collaborate closely with product and engineering to shape direction
  • Manage and mentor designers, supporting their growth and impact
  • Establish scalable design principles, standards, and processes

  • Proven experience designing and shipping high-quality products in startup or growth environments
  • Strong visual design skills (essential)
  • Ability to bring structure to ambiguous or undefined problems
  • Experience simplifying complex domains into intuitive user experiences
