  • Advanced interaction design skills
  • Fluency in user research methods (e.g., interviews, contextual inquiry, usability testing)
  • Strong grasp of systems thinking

Responsibilities

  • Own the user experience for internal-facing operational tools—mapping complex workflows and designing scalable, intuitive interactions.
  • Independently lead end-to-end design work: from discovery, research, and ideation to wireframes, prototypes, and final specs.
  • Conduct user research to inform and validate design decisions.
  • Deliver high-fidelity interaction designs with thoughtful motion, behavior, and responsiveness across breakpoints.
  • Collaborate closely with product, engineering, and operations stakeholders to understand business goals and operational constraints.
  • Facilitate workshops and feedback sessions to align cross-functional teams and generate ideas.
  • Evolve and scale internal design systems to support product complexity and consistency.
