Senior UX Designer (UX/UI/Brand)

Lead complex experience design work from strategy through execution, shaping products and journeys that remove friction, build trust, and drive measurable outcomes for our clients.

Responsibilities

Own the outcome - Lead major design initiatives from discovery to delivery. Define what success looks like, align teams around it, and deliver against clear business and customer metrics.
Raise the bar - Set design standards that elevate entire teams. Every flow, component, and presentation reflects purpose, precision, and intent.
Design for growth - Create experiences that convert, retain, and inspire. You measure your work in adoption, lift, and outcomes, not aesthetics.
Collaborate as a peer - Work directly with senior strategists, product leaders, engineers, founders, and executives. No layers of account management. Mastery is expected, not coached.
Move fast with discipline - Use AI as a force multiplier to accelerate exploration, synthesize insight, and compress delivery timelines without sacrificing quality.
