What you'll be doing:

Owning the end-to-end design process: from exploratory research to wireframes, prototypes, usability testing, and polished high-fidelity designs.

Driving deep customer and product understanding through short-form research (customer interviews/surveys, edge case mapping, journey reviews, competitor benchmarking).

Collaborating closely with product managers, engineers, and stakeholders to define problems, align on outcomes, and craft thoughtful and intuitive solutions.

Supporting large product initiatives such as major product launches and optimizations of existing customer journey flows (whether complete revamps or smaller-scale A/B tests).

Using our existing design system to ship consistent, scalable UI while contributing to its ongoing evolution.

Participating in team rituals such as weekly design reviews, retros, product unite meetings, and daily cross-functional standups.

Communicating design decisions clearly, telling the story behind your work, and bringing others along with you—including exec-level stakeholders.

Balancing speed and quality by iterating quickly, working with ambiguity, and refining based on input.

Bringing a perspective of continuous improvement—whether in our processes, tooling, or how we collaborate as a team.

What we are looking for:

We’re looking for a self-driven, collaborative, and highly capable Sr. Product Designer who can work across the full design stack - from discovery to delivery. You’ll thrive in this role if you’re energized by shaping digital products end-to-end, love understanding the “why” behind user behaviour, and bring a sharp eye for detail to every interaction.

The ideal candidate will have:

5+ years of experience designing intuitive, user-centric digital products, ideally in a fast-paced, consumer-focused environment.

A strong foundation in visual design, interaction design, and information architecture, with a portfolio that demonstrates elegant solutions to complex problems.

Experience working through the full product design lifecycle - from research and ideation to execution, validation, and iteration.

Proven ability to conduct or collaborate on user research, synthesize insights, and translate findings into actionable design decisions.

Comfortable navigating ambiguity and complexity, especially in domains that require simplification of dense or regulated information.

Demonstrated ability to work collaboratively with cross-functional teams, including product managers, engineers, content strategists, and marketers.

An iterative mindset with strong prototyping skills - you’re comfortable sketching, wireframing, and building interactive flows to explore ideas and communicate intent.

Familiarity with design systems and experience contributing to scalable components and patterns.

Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to articulate your thinking, frame trade-offs, and align stakeholders on direction.

A healthy balance of humility, curiosity, and confidence - you know when to assert, when to ask, and when to adapt.
