They will support all things product design—from ideation, wireframes, visual design, implementation, and deployment. They are consistently looking for ways to evolve our designs and optimize the design to production pipeline leveraging Claude or similar tools. This is a crucial role in the organization that will help us define and evolve how 1m+ monthly visitors interact with our digital product for the next 100 years.

- Distill complex problems into simple and intuitive designs.
- Conduct competitive analysis, user testing and research.
- Present your designs to stakeholders in well organized figma files and leverage prototyping when needed.
- Work collaboratively and iteratively (designs may take 10+ rounds of feedback) to incorporate internal feedback, data analysis, and user research.
- Partner with PMs to prioritize work and support pixel-perfect development of designs.
- Maintain and evolve our product design system, style guide, and processes
- Own the process of handing off designs to engineers, writing clear component documentation and annotations as well as ensuring that our design processes are compatible with AI assisted development.
- Integrate AI tools to optimize/redesign workflows and drive measurable impact.
