The Opportunity

We’re looking for a Lead Designer who thrives at the intersection of user insight and design execution. You’ll play a key role in shaping our product experience - driving user research, shaping UX groundwork, and crafting intuitive, user-centered solutions.

The ideal candidate has strong product design skills, a creative problem-solving mindset, and a moderate level of technical fluency to inform design decisions. They are self-motivated, collaborative, and passionate about using design to create a safer society.

Your primary focus will be designing and supporting initiatives across our web and mobile platforms - working with cross-functional teams to understand user needs, prototype solutions, and validate designs. In addition, you will also lead research and testing efforts to refine best practices and continuously improve the experience.

The Skillset

  • 10+ years of experience in UI/UX design with at least 1 - 2 years in a Senior/Lead role
  • A strong portfolio demonstrating interactive product design work (applications without portfolios will not be considered)
  • Expert knowledge in prototyping and ideation tools (Figma mastery is a must)
  • Experience in planning and conducting user research and testing and turning qualitative/quantitative data into design improvements.
  • Formal training in design or similar (Graphic Design, UX, HCI, Interactive Communications, etc.)
  • Expert technical knowledge in working with design systems, libraries, and style guides
  • Outstanding visual design and UI skills (Color, layout, iconography, and typography)
  • Ability to give and receive constructive feedback from other designers and cross-disciplinary partners
  • A strategic mindset with a strong attention to detail
  • Clear written and verbal communication style

Feeling uneasy that you haven’t ticked every box? That’s okay; we’ve felt that way too. Studies have shown women and minorities are less likely to apply unless they meet all qualifications. We encourage you to break the status quo and apply to roles that would make you excited to come to work every day.

90 Days at Flock

We are a results-oriented culture and believe job descriptions are a thing of the past. We prescribe to 90 day plans and believe that good days, lead to good weeks, which lead to good months. This serves as a preview of the 90 day plan you will receive if you were to be hired in this role.
