• You will be partnering with the Product Owners, Engineers, Data Scientists, and other colleagues, working in a cross-functional and distributed team. Together, you will be actively involved in defining the customers’ and the business’ problems.

• You’ll identify the key metrics for the projects you are involved in and take ownership for achieving their success.

• You will research and bring forward new findings and learnings for reaching complex company goals - such as launching in new territories and offering new products.

• From wire-framing to designing end-to-end flows and prototypes, you will be in charge of designing products that solve problems in a simple and elegant way while taking care of every small detail.

• We love turning the complexity of a chaotic world into the simplicity of a beautiful solution that truly solves customer needs, thus you will be running user testing workshops and guerrilla testing

• Once that’s done, iterate, implement with the technical team, and present the final solution during the design reviews;

• We are not stopping here, we believe in continuous improvement, so you’ll review the performance of the release, identify learnings and find ways to enhance it.

• To ensure we are speaking the same language as a team, we have the support of a design system - so you’ll kick in!

• As a Lead Designer, you will have more responsibility around hiring, people management, and ownership of the product (or family of products) that you work on. You will also interact with our most senior stakeholders, and you will closely mentor a small team of Designers.
