Lead UI/UX Designer

We are looking for a senior product design lead who can not only get hands on with business, analytics, UX and visual, but comes with great client handling, communication, team management and leadership skills.

Energetic, self-motivated, driven and ready to take on key responsibilities on the product and the business side.

Not a relaxed job. Will be hectic and would need someone who constantly has his/her eye on the ball.

Job includes directing a product, leading a design team and also owning parts of the UX design. Major role in visual design both on the product side and on the marketing and brand front.

How do you like the idea of owning a product? Do you feel confident partnering with the product team and being informed enough to call the shots? We’re happy to give you that chance.

We’re looking for a UI/UX Designer with 4–5 years of experience who can think beyond screens and push the product forward. You’ll work closely with product managers, developers, and cross-functional teams to deliver exceptional, user-centric experiences.

Responsibilities:

• Partner closely with product managers and stakeholders to define product strategy, requirements, and user goals.
• Lead user research interviews, usability tests, and data interpretation, translating insights into actionable design decisions.
• Create high-fidelity wireframes, interactive prototypes, and visually polished interfaces across web and mobile platforms.
• Drive design direction while ensuring consistency with brand guidelines and design systems.
• Develop detailed user personas, journeys, flows, information architecture, and interaction models.
• Conduct end-to-end usability testing and iterate designs based on findings.
• Collaborate closely with development teams to ensure accurate design implementation and resolve UI/UX challenges.
• Stay up to date with industry trends, evolving UX patterns, and new tools and technologies, bringing fresh thinking to the team.
• Provide mentorship, design critiques, and guidance to junior designers to maintain overall design quality.
• Advocate for user-centered thinking across the organization and influence product decisions through design expertise.
• 
  

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Design, HCI, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience).
• 4–5 years of solid UI/UX design experience, with a strong and diverse portfolio demonstrating end-to-end product thinking.
• Expertise in modern design and prototyping tools such as Figma, Sketch, Adobe XD, or similar.
• Strong understanding of user-centered design principles, usability heuristics, and UX research methods.
• Excellent visual design sensibility with a strong grasp of layout, typography, color theory, and design systems.
• Proven ability to turn complex problems into simple, intuitive solutions.
• Strong communication and storytelling skills, with the ability to explain design decisions to both technical and non-technical teams.
• Ability to manage multiple projects, prioritize effectively, and meet deadlines.
• Experience designing for responsive, mobile-first environments; familiarity with accessibility standards is a plus.
