Product Designer

The Product Designer will collaborate cross-functionally to brainstorm ideas, build prototypes, and iterate from concept to launch. They will design user experiences, create wireframes, and advocate for user-centric design through testing and feedback.

Responsibilities

• Collaborate cross-functionally: Work in small, autonomous teams to brainstorm ideas, build prototypes, and iterate quickly from concept to shipped product
• Design and iterate user experiences: Create wireframes, flow diagrams, and interactive prototypes that illustrate new features and improvements
• Leverage modern tools and AI: Use the latest design tools and methodologies to accelerate our process
• Champion user-centric design and testing; advocate for our end users at every step
