What You’ll Bring

- A proven ability to drive clarity in ambiguous problem spaces, align cross-functional partners, and deliver elegant solutions to technical and human problems.
- Experience designing and shipping features powered by AI or data visualization tools is a plus.
- A bias for action and iteration—you move quickly to learn, and ship often to drive impact.
- Clear, persuasive communication and storytelling skills.
- A track record of mentoring designers, driving best practices, and contributing to design culture.
