In this role you will:

  • Pair with Product Managers to bring their business cases to life, helping turn identified needs into robust prototypes and flows to drive understanding
  • Synthesize needs from Product, Engineering, and Marketing into comprehensive, design deliverables
  • Establish process and best practices around research, design, & delivery and champion them across the organization
  • Create elegant and useful design systems that define MotoRefi’s experience across its products and help us ship consistent, high-quality experiences
  • Lead efforts to quantitatively and qualitatively understand user behavior, and use these insights to drive a holistic product experience

 

About You

  • 3+ years leading a digital design team
  • 7+ years of experience in digital design experience or equivalent experience
  • A stunning portfolio that demonstrates strategic business thinking, ambitious creative solutions, and cross-platform brand consistency.
  • Experience delivering both in consumer and internal stakeholder settings, understanding the unique needs of both
  • Experience organizing teams to deliver against a portfolio of products across disparate user groups
  • Expertise working in design and prototyping tools like Figma
  • Excellent leadership, project management, and people management skills
  • Proven ability to mentor and develop junior designers
  • Fantastic analytical skills, ability to solve problems quickly, establish new frameworks, ability to think on your feet, and see synergies before others do. You can generalize both problems and solutions.
