Responsibilities

• Work directly with product owners, developers, and other stakeholders to define user flows, wireframes, and journey maps that align with both user needs and business goals.
• Apply and evolve existing design systems and patterns—focus on using the right tools rather than reinventing the wheel.
• Use Figma to create and iterate on designs, from low‑fidelity flows to high‑fidelity prototypes.
• Help connect the dots between product strategy and UX execution—you’re a thought partner, not just a designer.
• Bring a data‑informed approach to decision-making, considering both qualitative and quantitative impact.
• Help level up the team’s strategic capabilities by demonstrating how design can drive business value—not just aesthetics.
• Collaborate in a team‑first culture, where success is measured collectively and designers are integrated into the product lifecycle, not an afterthought.

Requirements

• Corporate, in‑house experience working on large‑scale digital products, not just agency sprints or freelance gigs.
• A strategic UX thinker who can ask the right questions, challenge assumptions, and propose experience‑led solutions.
• Strong skills in wireframing, user flows, and prototyping; ability to visualize ideas quickly and clearly.
• Proficiency in Figma is a must.
• Experience working within and contributing to a design system.
• A storyteller who can walk stakeholders through the why behind design decisions—including what business problem was solved and what user need was met.
• A team player who thrives in collaborative environments, not someone looking to work in isolation.
• Comfortable going toe‑to‑toe with product owners and engineers, advocating for the user while understanding constraints.
