Requirements

• Proven success delivering 0→1 features or products in a fast-paced startup or entrepreneurial environment.
• Depth in enterprise UX and AI/ML interaction design, ideally within B2B or talent-focused applications.

• Serve as a trusted partner to Product and Engineering peers, helping the broader team develop stronger user empathy and design intuition.
