As a Senior Designer, you will turn ambiguous problems into shipped, measurable outcomes. You will lead the design for a product or pod, bridging the gap between user needs, business strategy and engineering feasibility. You raise the bar for the entire design organization.

• Strategic Discovery – lead discovery to define problems and user needs; translate insights into clear product opportunities and testable hypotheses.
• End‑to‑End Execution – design high‑quality accessible interfaces (Web/iOS/Android) and user flows that move the needle on KPIs such as activation and task success.
• AI‑Augmented Workflow – leverage generative AI tools to accelerate ideation, automate repetitive tasks and synthesize large‑scale research data.
• System Ownership – evolve our design system (tokens, components, patterns); drive adoption and governance across platforms with “accessibility by default.”
• Technical Collaboration – partner deeply with Engineering and PMs to refine requirements, navigate technical constraints and ensure high‑quality Design QA.
• Leadership & Mentorship – elevate team standards through critiques and documented decision‑making; mentor mid‑/junior designers in craft and strategy.

• Product Thinking – ability to link design decisions directly to business models and success metrics (CSAT, North Star metrics).
• Expert‑level proficiency in Figma – including Auto Layout 6.0, multi‑mode variables for theming, localization, and accessibility, and logic‑driven prototyping using conditional variables and expressions to simulate production‑ready app behavior.
• AI Literacy – proficiency in AI‑driven design tools (Figma, AI/Make) for rapid wire framing and UI exploration.
• Research Synthesis – ability to use AI tools (e.g., Co‑Pilot) to distill user interviews and feedback into actionable themes.
• Universal Design – deep knowledge of WCAG 2.2 standards and ethical design patterns.
• Communicate strong evidence‑based points of view, seek out critique and feedback to strengthen designs.
