• Tell the story. Use compelling narratives, prototypes, and design artifacts to illustrate the “why” behind your work and align internal stakeholders and customers around a shared vision.
• Make it real. Translate high-level concepts into polished, high-craft design deliverables that guide cross-functional execution and deliver tangible results.
• Raise the bar. Shape and evolve design systems, workflows, and standards that support fast iteration without compromising quality.
• Stay curious. Keep up with the rapid evolution of AI, UX, and recruiting trends, and bring new insights that keep our products modern, trusted, and human-centered.

Requirements

• 10+ years of experience in product design, shipping impactful enterprise or AI-driven software.

• Strong collaboration skills with the ability to influence product direction across disciplines and levels.
• A passion for mentorship and peer development—helping others grow through critique, pairing, and shared process.
• Exceptional storytelling skills with the ability to present and persuade executives and cross-functional teams.
• A bias toward iteration and clarity, with comfort operating in ambiguity.
• A design portfolio that demonstrates both creative vision and real-world business impact.
