  • Experience working directly with CEOs, founders, or senior leadership

  • Deep understanding of user flows, interaction design, and system thinking

  • Comfortable owning decisions in a PM-less environment

  • Proven experience leading and managing design teams.

  • Ability to influence without authority across teams

  • Growth Opportunities - You’ll get the freedom to experiment, the tools to execute, and the support to tackle challenging problems.

  • Supportive Team Culture - You’ll work with people who value ownership, clarity, and strong collaboration — not micromanagement.
