What You’ll Need to Thrive:

• Extensive experience leading complex design initiatives from conception to launch within large-scale, high-growth environments.

• Proven ability to define and drive design strategy, successfully managing multiple stakeholders and competing priorities.

• Demonstrated track record of mentoring designers and elevating the quality of work within high-performing teams.

• Exceptional communication skills, with the ability to articulate complex design visions and influence senior leadership.

• Deep technical fluency and a strategic understanding of how design influences engineering constraints and product outcomes.
