Research & Data Synthesis: Partner with Research and Data teams to synthesize complex quantitative and qualitative data into clear, actionable design hypotheses and measure the impact of strategic design efforts. Optional Leadership Track: Team Development: If on the management track, you will be responsible for hiring, mentoring, and coaching a small, high-performing team of senior and staff-level product designers, fostering a culture of excellence and strategic impact. Project Oversight: Provide high-level direction and strategic oversight for the projects executed by your direct reports, ensuring their work aligns with the overall product strategy and design system standards.

Portfolio Excellence: An outstanding portfolio showcasing mastery across the entire design process, with an emphasis on systemic thinking, data-informed strategy, and executive communication. Technical Fluency: Deep understanding of modern software architecture, technical constraints, and front-end frameworks, enabling you to partner effectively with Staff and Principal Engineers. Influence and Communication: Exceptional ability to articulate complex design concepts, strategies, and trade-offs to a non-design audience, including C-level executives. Adaptability: Proven ability to thrive in ambiguous, fast-paced environments and confidently lead design efforts without heavy managerial oversight. Leadership Flexibility (Manager Track Requirement): Candidates interested in the managerial track must have 3+ years of experience managing and developing designers with a focus on coaching senior talent. Domain Focus: Deep expertise in designing integrated SaaS workflow tools and platforms built for business and consumer users, with a clear understanding of how design impacts conversion, adoption, and retention in a subscription model. AI/Future-Forward Design: Familiarity with Generative AI tools and processes used to rapidly iterate on concepts and designs.
