About the Role
We are seeking a driven design leader that has that perfect balance of skills to drive the project forward, manage the team to make it happen, and willingness to roll up their sleeves to craft designs.

This candidate should have a passion for usability, an eye for visual consistency, and a knack for reducing the complex to the bare essentials. He or she is an effective diplomat with strong communication and organization skills who is willing to advocate for the design position in the face of senior balancing points from product management and engineering leadership. “World-class” is the bar and this candidate has the desire to take us there!
