Take ownership of three product areas in close collaboration with product and engineering counterparts.

At least five years of end-to-end product design experience with clear ownership across multiple product areas.
-
Proficiency in Figma, prototyping, and structured user research and interviews.
-
Experience building and scaling design systems in a B2B SaaS or similar environment.
-
Design-team leadership experience, or a strong and demonstrated readiness to step into team responsibility while staying hands-on as an individual contributor.
-
Branding and website design ownership alongside product design, with an analytics-driven approach to design decisions.
-
Comfort using modern AI tools such as Cursor, v0, or Claude to accelerate and improve design workflows.
