• Provide design leadership and mentorship while remaining actively involved in hands-on execution.

Required Qualifications

• 7+ years of professional UX/Product Design experience, including demonstrated ownership of complex enterprise applications.

• Strong portfolio showcasing enterprise UX design, sophisticated workflows, data-heavy interfaces, and measurable business or user outcomes.

• Experience designing internal business tools, operational platforms, or enterprise applications supporting complex workflows.

• Advanced proficiency in Figma, including interactive prototyping, reusable components, and established design systems.

• Strong expertise in interaction design, information architecture, workflow optimization, wireframing, and visual design.

• Ability to simplify complex processes involving multiple user types, interconnected systems, and extensive business rules.

• Experience designing data-intensive interfaces, including dashboards, tables, filters, forms, and multi-step workflows.

• Strong cross-functional collaboration skills, particularly with product management, engineering, research, and business stakeholders.

• Background designing tools for merchants, buyers, planners, category managers, or retail operations teams.
