• Facilitate co-creation workshops with stakeholders and users to align vision and uncover opportunities.
• Mentor and grow a team of designers, providing feedback that strengthens craft, process, and strategic thinking.
• Collaborate with product and engineering to create roadmaps, set priorities, and track the impact of design decisions.

Required Skills & Experience

• Have 7+ years of experience in product design, with proven leadership in design strategy and team management.
• Are fluent in Figma (including design systems and tokens), prototyping tools, and Agile workflows.
• Can bridge design and development, bonus if you re familiar with HTML, CSS, React, or Angular.
• Are comfortable designing for multiple platforms (web, mobile, voice, AR/VR) and thinking about how systems scale across them.
• Use both qualitative and quantitative insights (A/B tests, analytics, usability studies) to inform your work.
• Have experience in design ops and can make a distributed team run smoothly.
• Stay curious about emerging tools and methods, from generative AI to spatial computing.

Nice to have:

• Experience with enterprise-scale SaaS or multi-brand ecosystems.
• Background in AI-assisted research, competitive benchmarking, or growth-driven design.
• Contributions to open-source design systems or community-driven design initiatives.
• Public speaking, writing, or case studies that share your design process and learnings.
