- Lead design reviews and provide constructive feedback to elevate team output
- Collaborate cross-functionally with Product, Engineering, and Marketing teams to shape roadmap and priorities
- Champion design thinking and user advocacy across the company
- Maintain and evolve the design system to drive consistency and efficiency

- Experience with social features and across web and mobile
- A strong portfolio showcasing UX and visual design work, including projects you’ve led
- Proven ability to ship high-quality designs in fast-paced environments
- Experience giving and receiving feedback, and elevating the work of others
- Deep understanding of product thinking, usability principles, and modern design tools (especially Figma)
- Excellent communication and storytelling skills — both in writing and in meetings
- Experience building or scaling a design team
