- Build alignment and articulate vision through strong storytelling and presentations skills

- Mentor other designers and contribute to the overall design culture of the company
What We’re Looking For:
- 8+ years of experience in User Experience, Interaction and Interface design
- Experience leading complex web and mobile projects with a cross-functional team
- Ability to generate detailed design concepts, documentation, and prototypes
- A design portfolio that showcases proficient design skills, product thinking, and problem-solving
