What We’re Looking For - 7+ years of experience in product/interaction design, with at least 2 years in a team leadership or management role.
- Proven track record of designing and delivering complex digital products, ideally in SaaS or enterprise environments.
- Strong foundational skills in interaction and visual design, with a sharp eye for detail and a system-thinking mindset.
- Experience driving design strategy, vision-setting, and cross-functional collaboration.
- Fluency in design tools like Figma, Sketch, or similar—Figma expertise preferred.
- Excellent communication, presentation, and stakeholder management skills.
- Experience working in agile, fast-moving teams and shipping production-ready designs.
- Familiarity with or interest in AI, data analytics, visualization, or enterprise tools is a strong plus.
Portfolio Requirements Your portfolio should:
- Showcase end-to-end case studies that highlight your impact as a design leader and practitioner.
- Demonstrate design thinking, problem-solving, and your approach to managing complexity.
- Include examples of team leadership, collaboration, and mentoring in addition to hands-on design work.
- Reveal how your work aligned with business objectives and delivered value to users.
