- Work cross-functionally with strategists, developers, and product owners to deliver high-quality user experiences.
- Serve as a design systems subject matter expert in client engagements and workshops.
- Present design recommendations with confidence and communicate complex design concepts in a clear, client-friendly manner.
- Champion user-centered design, accessibility standards, and design best practices at scale.
What You Bring
- 6+ years of UX experience in an agency or consulting environment
- Portfolio of work including both marketing/content related projects and complex, interaction-rich interfaces, and Design System Documentation
- Leads end-to-end UX strategy and design across complex digital projects
- Strong, confident presence with the ability to lead client conversations and manage stakeholders effectively
- Strong design systems experience (creation and maintenance)
- Proficient in Figma
- Hands-on with IA, user flows, wireframes, and UX documentation
- Experience creating products, apps, or websites from the ground up
- Comfortable leading workshops, design sessions, and stakeholder presentations
- Works closely with cross-functional teams (PM, dev, design, strategy)
