About the Role

- Be hands-on: Contribute directly to product design where needed, especially in early iterations or high-stakes features.
- Champion design at the company level: Advocate for design thinking in strategy discussions and ensure the user voice is central to decision-making.
- Leverage AI in the design process: Incorporate AI tools into prototyping, iteration, and research workflows to accelerate creativity and learning.
