Create wireframes, prototypes, and design specifications to communicate design solutions to the team and stakeholders.
Use data and metrics to evaluate the effectiveness of design solutions and iterate on designs to optimize user engagement and retention.

Experience:

Bachelor's degree in Design, HCI, or a related field.
At least 35 years of experience in product design, preferably in a B2C SaaS environment.
A portfolio showcasing your design skills, process, and problemsolving abilities.
Strong proficiency in design and prototyping tools such as Sketch, Figma, InVision, etc.
Excellent communication and collaboration skills with a strong ability to articulate design decisions and collaborate with crossfunctional teams.
