🎨 About the role

You will lead product design on several projects simultaneously. In this role, you will report to our Product Design Manager who has an extensive background in both product design and managing design teams. We believe great design starts with listening to customers and not a predefined list of requirements. You’ll take an active role in shaping product strategy by consistently advocating for user needs. You’ll know, because you’ll be talking with them. Good design is much more than how things look, it’s how they work. We encourage our engineering and growth teams to engage actively in product discussions. Your facilitation will be crucial in drawing out the best ideas from across our teams, fostering a culture of innovation, and navigating the trade‑offs necessary to build the right products.

Responsibilities

• Collaborate with the team on problem discovery and definition
• Uncover and distill user needs / insights through customer interviews and product analytics
• Design and prototype multiple ideas quickly, connecting regularly with users to validate them
• Deliver balanced user experiences that are high quality, easy to use, and ship quickly
• Have a strong point of view on how our product should look & feel
• Lead and participate in user interviews, turning insights into actionable design decisions and sharing learnings to align the broader team
• Evaluate shipped work to ensure it solves our user needs and meets our goals
• Continuously improve our design processes — shaping systems rather than just following them
• Collaborate closely with cross‑functional partners, including product managers, engineers, and business stakeholders shaping product direction
• Actively give and receive feedback across teams, clearly presenting design rationale and aligning stakeholders on vision, goals, and user value
