  • Collaborate with leadership on brand direction, creative strategy, and company-wide visual identity
  • Gather user feedback, run usability testing, and continuously improve experiences across customer touchpoints
  • Document systems, workflows, and design processes to create leverage as the company scales
  • Raise the quality bar across the company through strong taste, thoughtful execution, and user-centered thinking

  • Experience using AI tools to automate design workflows
  • Experience collaborating closely with engineering teams and shipping high-quality digital products
  • Strong visual design skills including typography, layout, hierarchy, and brand consistency
  • Ability to communicate effectively with technical and non-technical stakeholders
  • Comfort operating in a fast-moving startup environment with ambiguity and shifting priorities
  • Highly organized with the ability to manage multiple parallel design workstreams
Nice to Have
