About the Role

What You'll Be Doing

- Lead projects end-to-end, make decisions confidently, and collaborate with developers, clients, and other designers without needing hand-holding.
- Own product design on client projects, including user flows, information architecture, and interaction patterns.
- Design from constraints: business logic, technical feasibility, and user needs.
- Understand what the client is trying to achieve, question briefs when they don't make sense, and defend decisions with reasoning.
- Present work to clients and stakeholders, explaining rationale clearly, and iterating based on feedback.
- Work directly with developers who build what you design, bringing your perspective and experience to the wider team.
- Work with AI tools.
