The ideal candidate combines strong product thinking, user-centered design, business awareness, and data-informed decision making. They are comfortable working in complex enterprise environments, navigating ambiguity, and collaborating across cross-functional teams to solve meaningful customer and business problems.

• Lead end-to-end product design activities from discovery through delivery.

• Translate complex business requirements into intuitive user experiences.
• Create user flows, information architecture, wireframes, prototypes, and high-fidelity designs.
• Facilitate design reviews, workshops, and cross-functional working sessions.
• Contribute to and evolve design systems, interaction patterns, and UX standards.
• Define success criteria for design initiatives in partnership with Product Management.
• Use qualitative and quantitative data to evaluate product performance and identify improvement opportunities.
• Monitor adoption, usability, engagement, and customer feedback metrics to inform design decisions.
• Collaborate with Product and Engineering teams to continuously improve product usability and customer outcomes.

• Experience defining, measuring, and communicating UX metrics tied to customer and business outcomes.
