- Design within an established design system and contribute to the evolution of new design standards across Pilot
- Deliver thoughtful solutions and detailed specs that are ready for implementation
- Collaborate with internal/external users to conduct interviews and gather data to inform design decisions as needed
- Mentor other designers on strategy and craft, and maintain our team's high standard of design
About You
Our ideal candidate is a curious, highly analytical, and team oriented individual with the following qualifications and skills:
- Experience: 6+ years in Consumer Product, Enterprise, SaaS, Service Design or a relevant field with a proven track record of shipping end-to-end workflows and experiences from strategy to execution
- Product & Systems Thinking: Skilled at simplifying complex systems to achieve human-centric solutions that balance simplicity and functionality
- Design Craftsmanship: Strong attention to detail in information architecture, visual hierarchy, typography, and layout.
- Communication: Strong visual, verbal, and written communication. You actively seek and incorporate feedback from team members and stakeholders.
- Collaboration: You thrive working with project leads and stakeholders, contributing to and aligning with broader team goals
- Business Acumen: You understand the business impact of design decisions and drive meaningful product value
We believe great designers come from a variety of backgrounds and experiences. If you’re excited about this role, we encourage you to apply! Prior experience in finance and accounting is a bonus, not a requirement.
