Expert & Leadership (9+ years)
Candidates should have over 5 years of experience designing user-centric digital products, ideally in a fast-paced, consumer-focused environment. A strong foundation in visual design, interaction design, and information architecture is required, along with a portfolio demonstrating elegant solutions to complex problems. Proven ability to conduct user research, synthesize insights, and translate findings into actionable design decisions is necessary. Experience working collaboratively with cross-functional teams, navigating ambiguity, and familiarity with design systems are also essential. Excellent verbal and written communication skills are expected.
The Senior Product Designer will own the end-to-end design process, from exploratory research to high-fidelity designs, and drive customer and product understanding through research methods. They will collaborate with product managers and engineers to define problems and craft solutions, support major product initiatives, and use the existing design system while contributing to its evolution. Participation in team rituals, clear communication of design decisions, and balancing speed with quality through iteration are key duties.
