• Contribute to workshops and thought exercises that shape design direction and influence product strategy across new business initiatives.
• Collaborate closely with cross-functional experts in editorial, product, engineering, research, and growth, synthesizing multiple threads and business goals into a best-in-class product experience while exemplifying a customer-focused mentality.
• Champion thoughtful innovation by understanding the boundaries of the mobile platform and the business, while knowing when to challenge convention, drive disruption, and reimagine what's possible for our users.

Qualifications & Experience...
• 8+ years experience as a cross-platform product designer, with at least 4 years working on native mobile experiences. Experience in media companies is a plus.
• Mastery of Figma and prototyping.
• Impeccable visual and interaction design skills.
• Expertise in creating and modifying components and utilizing a mature design system kit.
• Experience building and maintaining design systems or component libraries
• Mastery of best UX design practices, including usability principles, user research methodologies and testing techniques.
• Solid understanding of mobile and web technologies.
• Excellent written, verbal and interpersonal communication skills.
• Experience in program management tools such as Confluence and Jira.
• Bachelor's degree in design, human-computer interaction (HCI), or equivalent professional experience.
