• Partner with the product team to align design with business goals and user needs.
• Present design concepts, updates, and cross-team launches at company-wide check-ins.

• Experienced in design systems: You've contributed to or led the creation of a design system that supports a growing product.
• 5+ years of experience in product design (with a strong portfolio showcasing your design expertise and process).
• Proficiency in design tools such as Figma, Sketch, or Adobe XD.
• Strong understanding of frontend development: While you're primarily focused on design, you're comfortable collaborating with developers on implementing your designs (React, Tailwind, and Typescript).
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to collaborate across cross-functional teams.
• Organized, self-sufficient, and proactive with the ability to manage multiple design projects simultaneously.

The Benefits
