Lead Experience Designer

Key Responsibilities

• Own the design process end-to-end — from ambiguous brief to polished delivery — using AI tools to move faster, experiment more boldly, and push the work further.

• Own the craft of interaction design at the highest level — producing polished, best-in-class wireframes for complex flows and large-scale deliverables, with the hands-on depth to drive that work from first frame to final spec.

• Distill complex, sometimes competing inputs — user research, business strategy, technical constraints, stakeholder feedback — into a clear design direction that you can defend and ship." to really make a synthesis skill an expectation?

• Have hands-on experience with AI design tools — Claude, Midjourney, v0, Cursor, or similar — and genuine curiosity about where they're taking the craft.

• Demonstrate a proven ability to develop a strategic POV from a brief — shaping design strategy that moves businesses forward and articulating it through a clear, compelling narrative for clients and collaborators.

• Work closely with product, engineering, and clients, not just to align, but to drive a design point of view that balances what users need with what the business requires.

• Actively translate research, analytics, stakeholder input, and business constraints into concrete design decisions.

• Know what the work demands at each stage, whether that's a flow, a prototype, a systems framework, or a research synthesis, and use the right artifact to move the right conversation forward.

• Build scalable design systems built for consistency, accessibility, and the realities of fast-moving products.

• Lead client presentations, workshops, and working sessions with clarity, confidence, and a point of view.

• Actively identify what's next — in process, in tools, in practice — and bring others along for it.

Experience and Skills

• A portfolio demonstrating a range of digital product, service, or systems design work.

• Approximately 7+ years of professional experience in UX, product, or experience design—or equivalent practical expertise.

• Familiarity with AI-powered design tools and workflows, and an interest in exploring how emerging technologies can enhance the design process.

• Ability to clearly articulate design process and decision-making through wireframes, sitemaps, user flows, prototypes, and documentation.

• Experience leading or contributing to cross-functional teams delivering human-centered digital experiences.

• Strong conceptual, strategic, and systems-thinking skills.

• Experience creating and overseeing complex wireframes, sitemaps, and user flows at multiple levels of scale.

• Experience producing detailed documentation and collaborating with design and development partners to support effective handoffs.

• Familiarity with prototyping and light animation to communicate interaction and intent.

• Experience with research and strategy best practices, and the ability to synthesize insights into clear opportunity areas.

• Strong collaboration, communication, and presentation skills.

• Commitment to inclusive, accessible, and equitable design practices.
