You have experience with user research, setting experience priorities, delivering accessible designs, and iterating based on results in a global market.

- Cross-platform design experience across Web, iOS, and Android.
- Experience working closely with research, usability testing, and data analysis teams.
- Strong communication skills to articulate design decisions to cross-functional teams and leadership.
- Deep understanding of graphic design, interaction design, and user-centered principles.
- Proficiency in Figma, Miro, and other design and collaboration tools.
- Ability to manage multiple projects in a fast-paced, remote-first environment.
- Comfortable working in ambiguity and iterating quickly based on user needs.
- Bachelor’s Degree in Design, Interaction Design, HCI, or a related field.
