The role

• Take hands‑on ownership of strategic design projects, overseeing the entire product design lifecycle from discovery, roadmap prioritization, problem definition to validation, implementation, measurement, and continuous improvements.
• Define core user experience principles to create intuitive and self‑service recruitment workflows and automation journeys. You choose the appropriate UX deliverables—journey maps, information architecture, wireframes, UX patterns, prototypes, and UI design—to convey ideas, build consensus, and translate complex (and often ambiguous) product/business/user needs into design solutions.
• Help shape the long‑term design vision while ensuring the regular delivery of high‑quality products.
• Represent design and be a champion for design thinking across the organization, participate in customer interactions, facilitate workshops and strategy discussions, present at company all‑hands, and identify opportunities for cross‑functional collaboration.
• Strive for design excellence across the org, improve design operations, proactively seek and provide constructive feedback, and help build a strong design culture.
• Be part of a global team responsible for the user experience, brand design, and user research that supports all product initiatives at Sense.

Qualifications

• Experience working with user research methods and a strong inclination to involve customers/stakeholders in the design process.
• Experience working across the full‑stack design process with an emphasis on UX architecture, customer journey mapping, and high‑fidelity design prototypes.
• Solid design/prototyping skills in Figma and experience working with a design system.
• Solid understanding of modern UX/UI design principles for web and mobile.
• Experience building strong partnerships with product and engineering stakeholders in an agile environment.
