• Partner with engineering and architecture teams to align the system with evolving requirements and deliver seamless implementation workflows across platforms.
• Co-own the design, documentation, and maintenance of visually consistent, accessible components in Figma, supporting translation into scalable, reusable code for mobile and web.
• Conduct user research and usability testing to inform design decisions, ensuring our experiences are intuitive and impactful for a wide range of members.
• Promote inclusive design practices and ensure all components meet or exceed accessibility standards.

QUALIFICATIONS:

• Experience in product design, with a strong portfolio showcasing work on both native mobile and web applications, including design system development.
• Extremely high level of proficiency in design tools and methodologies, including but not limited to Figma, wireframing, workflow diagramming, and prototyping.
• Demonstrated ability to develop, scale, and manage design systems, balancing structure with adaptability to support a fast-evolving environment.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills, with an ability to "read the room" and flex your approach to foster alignment across teams.
• Deep understanding of accessibility standards and best practices in inclusive design.
• Familiarity with front-end development principles and experience partnering closely with engineering teams to bring designs to life.
• Expertise in leveraging AI tools to accelerate and enhance design workflows, with a demonstrated ability to upskill and elevate teammates' capabilities through AI-driven best practices.
