• Collaborate closely with product managers and developers to ensure alignment on objectives and execution.
• Mentor and provide feedback to junior designers, promoting best practices and growth.
• Conduct design reviews and one‑on‑one coaching sessions to maintain high design standards.
• Drive product vision and ensure holistic design solutions across multiple platforms.
• Ensure design outputs are consistent, scalable, and aligned with brand and product strategy.

Requirements:

• 5–7 years of experience as a product designer in fast‑paced environments, preferably scale‑ups or startups.
• 2+ years of experience leading product design teams, mentoring designers, and managing design projects.
• Strong expertise in UX and UI design, with experience building and maintaining design systems.
• Demonstrated ability to work autonomously while empowering and guiding team members.
• Skilled at balancing strategic thinking with hands‑on execution and meeting tight deadlines.
• Strong collaboration skills with product and development teams to ensure seamless design integration.
• Comfortable managing the full development cycle with minimal oversight.
• Passion for continuous learning, design excellence, and user‑centered solutions.

Benefits:

• Competitive compensation with potential stock grants based on role and location.
• Flexible remote work, with optional access to co‑working spaces.
