Responsibilities

• Lead and execute User-Centered Design (UCD) processes from discovery to delivery
• Translate complex functional requirements and user insights into simple, elegant, and accessible user interfaces built upon user flows, low- to high-fidelity wireframes, mockups, and interactive prototypes using Figma
• Align design decisions with business goals and user needs by strategically connecting or creating personas, experience journeys, and user flows
• Leverage AI-assisted workflows where appropriate to improve speed and quality (e.g., prototyping acceleration and design-to-code collaboration)
• Collaborate within Agile/Scrum teams, participating in sprints, stand-ups, planning sessions, and retrospectives
• Perform lightweight, early validation of designs and prototypes (e.g., time-boxed UX reviews, quick usability checks and accessibility basics) to catch issues before development and reduce rework
• Advocate for consistent design system components, UI controls and patterns, and accessibility best practices
• Iterate designs based on user feedback and usability data to ensure the best possible experience
• Maintain clear and concise design documentation to support development handoff (interaction details, states, accessibility notes, and component usage guidance)
• Partner with engineering to design and ship reusable UI patterns/components; contribute improvements back to shared design system assets including component specs, states, and accessibility defaults
• Deliver core product design work while scaling reusable UI patterns/components and lightweight guidance (templates, examples, best practices) for broader adoption across multiple product engineering teams
• Presents and defends designs and key milestone deliverables to peers and senior stakeholders
• Serves as SME for all aspects of customer experience

Qualifications

• Solid understanding of User-Centered Design (UCD) principles, methods, and tools
• Robust experience working in Agile environments, closely collaborating with cross-functional teams
• Experience partnering closely with engineering on implementation details, including component behavior, states, and accessibility requirements for production-ready handoff
• Demonstrated ability to create and maintain detailed user journey maps and user flows
• Familiarity with usability testing, accessibility (WCAG), and responsive design best practices
• Excellent communication skills, both verbal and visual - able to clearly articulate design decisions and rationale
• Extensive experience in using and implementing UX design best practices to design solutions in large organizations
• Ability to work with stakeholders to understand strategic vision and detailed requirements and design complete user experiences that meet business goals and user needs

Desired Qualifications

• Ability to iterate designs and solutions efficiently and intelligently
• A clear understanding of the importance of user-centered design and design thinking, planning, and conducting user research, user testing, A/B testing, rapid prototyping, heuristic analysis, usability and accessibility concerns
• Demonstrated ability to work effectively across multiple work streams and with company leadership
• Experience shipping (or co-developing) coded UI components (e.g., with engineering in a shared repo)
• Familiarity with a variety of AI tools (e.g. design applications, IDEs, LLMs) and AI-assisted design workflows (e.g., research synthesis, prototyping acceleration, design-to-code collaboration)
