  • Own and evolve the design strategy for our platform—both customer-facing features and internal tools—ensuring alignment with business objectives and product roadmaps.
  • Drive innovation in enterprise tooling by applying best-in-class UX practices from financial, marketing, and AI-powered systems to enhance usability, efficiency, and insight.

Requirements

  • Strong strategic thinking and communication skills, with a track record of influencing at the executive level.
  • Hands-on experience scaling platform-wide design systems that support consistency, quality, and speed.
  • Operational rigor—ability to improve workflows, prioritize investments, and deliver results in fast-paced environments.
