You bring: - 8+ years of experience in UX and product design for web and mobile products, with 3+ years of direct people leadership experience. - Proficiency in our tool stack (Figma, Fullstory, Miro) or similar. - Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to articulate design concepts effectively. - Solid understanding of user research methodologies and usability testing. - Experience working in an agile development environment, collaborating across disciplines. Research shows that while men apply to jobs when they meet an average of 60% of listed criteria, women and other marginalized folks tend to only apply when they check every box.
