• Creating impactful, research-backed user experiences that balance user goals, business priorities, and technical feasibility.

• Ensuring designs are accessible, inclusive, and meet usability standards.

• Representing the customer voice through strong design advocacy, leveraging both qualitative and quantitative insights.

• Applying best practices to create intuitive, scalable interfaces—adhering to design system rules and contributing to the system’s growth and evolution.

• Partnering with engineers, PMs, and designers to drive alignment, solve challenges, and deliver high-impact features.

• Contributing to the growth of design culture within the organization.

• Experience with design systems, prototyping, and usability testing.

• Ability to thrive in fast-paced environments, adapting and pivoting as needed.

• Comfort using qualitative and quantitative data to inform and validate design decisions.

• Strong communication skills; able to clearly articulate design rationale and advocate for users across stakeholders.
