Lead Experience Designer, UX

Job Description:

• 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.
• 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.

Requirements:

• 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.

Benefits:

• Health insurance
• Retirement plans
• Paid time off
• Flexible work arrangements
