You will operate at the intersection of product strategy, technical constraints, and user needs, setting the standard for craft and strategic depth. As a Staff Product Designer, you will be a key contributor to defining the vision and strategy for the team.

• Actively define the long-term user experience vision and strategy for your area, leading the entire design process from concept through high-fidelity implementation in ambiguous environments.
• Serve on the UX leadership team, collaborating with managers and other staff designers to ensure the consistency, quality, and cohesion of design practices across the product organization.
• Lead and influence product decisions with a strong foundation in qualitative and quantitative insights, translating user needs and business metrics into measurable product impact.
• Demonstrate clear excellence in at least two core craft domains (interaction, visual, prototyping), and architect comprehensive information structures and new design patterns that set benchmarks.
• Actively contribute to and influence the evolution of the design system, mentoring peers on its effective utilization, and helping to set design standards and documentation.
• Collaborate deeply with engineering to ensure designs are optimized for production scale and technical constraints are fully understood and addressed.
• Proactively build robust relationships with cross-functional partners to streamline planning, prioritization, and execution of high-impact user experiences.
• Support and lead the development of junior to senior design contributors through mentorship, critique, and setting high standards for design outcomes.
• Foster a collaborative, inclusive, and ego-free culture by facilitating high-impact workshops and presentations to drive consensus and articulate design rationale to all stakeholders
