What you need

  • 7+ years of experience in digital design, UI design systems, or creative leadership within an agency, studio, or in-house team
  • A strong portfolio showcasing a blend of platform-led web/product UI design and campaign-led creative concept work
  • Mastery of UI craft and digital design fundamentals (typography, grid systems, layout, motion, hierarchy) with expert-level fluency in Figma
  • Proven track record designing performance-led marketing sites, brand platforms, configurators, or digital products that have launched in-market
  • Strong client-facing presentation skills, with the ability to articulate design logic, defend creative vision, and win the room
  • Hands-on AI fluency across image generation, prototyping, and design workflow tools

Nice to have

  • Code literacy (HTML/CSS familiarity or deep comfort with engineering handoff)
  • Motion direction, 3D, or WebGL experience
  • Experience leading design projects that integrate AI as a user-facing product feature

Worth weighing

  • No salary listed
  • The role requires a strong portfolio and extensive experience, which may limit opportunities for less experienced candidates
  • The position involves both strategic and hands-on design work, which may appeal to candidates looking for a varied role but could be demanding
  • The emphasis on AI fluency suggests a focus on modern design practices, which may not suit candidates with traditional design backgrounds
