• Facilitate co-creation workshops with stakeholders and users to align vision and uncover opportunities.
• Mentor and grow a team of designers, providing feedback that strengthens craft, process, and strategic thinking.
• Collaborate with product and engineering to create roadmaps, set priorities, and track the impact of design decisions.

• Are fluent in Figma (including design systems and tokens), prototyping tools, and Agile workflows.
• Can bridge design and development, bonus if you re familiar with HTML, CSS, React, or Angular.

• Stay curious about emerging tools and methods, from generative AI to spatial computing.

Nice to have:

• Experience with enterprise-scale SaaS or multi-brand ecosystems.

• Contributions to open-source design systems or community-driven design initiatives.
• Public speaking, writing, or case studies that share your design process and learnings.
