About The Position

As a Senior Product Designer, you'll independently drive and elevate the UX for critical and strategic features, often across multiple product areas or complex initiatives. You'll collaborate cross-functionally to proactively identify systemic problems, define visionary solutions, and deliver user-centered design strategies that drive significant, measurable business and user impact. You'll also mentor and guide less experienced designers.
You'll play a pivotal role in shaping and optimizing the end-to-end user experience within our products, often influencing product strategy. You'll expertly craft intuitive and scalable user flows, design highly functional and elegant interfaces, and establish consistent design patterns across all product touchpoints. You'll demonstrate a deeply proven ability to conceive, shape, and deploy highly impactful user experiences across entire product features, end-to-end journeys, and often, new product initiatives.
You'll lead collaboration with Product Managers, Engineers, User Researchers, Content Designers, and Key Stakeholders. You'll translate complex user insights and ambiguous product requirements into innovative, efficient, and effective design solutions that not only align with user needs and business goals but also anticipate future needs and drive product evolution. You'll also be expected to influence cross-functional partners and advocate for design excellence at all stages.
