About the role
- Lead the foundational UX and discovery process for new products and features, starting from the initial idea or business goal
- Partner closely with Product Managers and Engineering Leads to facilitate workshops, define scope, and map out strategic approaches to understand how the user experience will be defined
- Own the development of core UX artifacts: Define and document clear Jobs to be Done (JTBD), create detailed user flows, journey maps, and sitemaps, produce comprehensive wireframes and low-fidelity prototypes that explain the entire user experience
- Package and document your work into a complete "design blueprint" that clearly outlines the project's strategy, user experience, and specific tasks
- Hand off projects to our global product design teams, walking them through the strategy and requirements to ensure a smooth transition to execution
- Act as a strategic guide for the execution teams, answering questions and ensuring their high-fidelity work and user testing plans remain aligned with your foundational UX strategy.
Requirements
- 5-8 years of experience in product design, with a portfolio that heavily emphasizes your strategic process (e.g., JTBD, complex user flows, annotated wireframes, and case studies on problem definition)
- Must be based in the United States and possess a deep, nuanced understanding of North American user behavior and market expectations
- Proven mastery of wireframing and creating clear, functional, and well-documented UX deliverables
- A deep understanding of UX fundamentals, including information architecture, interaction design, and "Jobs to be Done" methodology
- Experience packaging and handing off work to other designers or remote development teams is a major plus
- Strong facilitation skills: You are comfortable leading workshops and guiding stakeholders (Product, Engineering) to a shared understanding
- Exceptional communication and documentation skills: You can articulate a complex experience with simple diagrams and clear instructions.
