Contribute to the product discovery process and assist in validating core product ideas.

Work closely with PMs, Engineering, TPMs, and QA from ideation through post-launch. Embed themselves in the product and development teams processes to guide strategic decisions, lead early ideation, and smartly break visionary ideas into practical phases that still maintain a high bar of quality.

Partner closely with UX Research to collaborate on research plans and clearly communicate the key research questions we need answers to. Can also independently utilize (or excited to learn) lean user research methods to make quick design decisions when needed. Can include interviews, observation sessions, and remote user tests, and able to synthesizes research findings to stakeholders.

Adaptable design processes and tool skillset; Our team utilizes Figma, Sketch, InVision, Principle and Confluence to make design happen.

Collaborate with fellow designers, able to give and receive feedback gracefully, and can act as a mentor to junior and non-senior designers.

Think in design systems as you prioritize building accessible, scalable, and re-usable components for the next generation of our design library.
