 • Partner with Engineering to understand technical constraints, platform capabilities, and implementation trade-offs.

 • Lead design efforts across both new feature development and redesign of existing experiences.

 • Create wireframes, prototypes, and high-fidelity designs.

 • Design and explore AI-assisted user experiences, including intelligent workflows and personalization.

 • Contribute to and evolve a scalable mobile design system by defining reusable patterns and components.

 • Advocate for the user through research, feedback, and data.

 • Design for real-world usage conditions such as low connectivity and short session times.

 • Collaborate cross-functionally to ensure a cohesive mobile experience.

 

 • 5+ years of experience in UX/Product Design with a focus on native mobile apps.

 • Proven ability to design and ship high-quality mobile experiences.

 • Strong understanding of mobile UX patterns and platform guidelines.

 • Experience working with Product Managers and Engineers.

 • Ability to work independently and proactively.

 • Strong communication and collab oration skills.

 • Experience balancing user needs with technical constraints.

 • Proficiency with tools like Figma. Bonus:

 • Experience in corporate communications or related domains.

 • Experience designing for frontline or deskless workers.

 • Experience with AI-powered features or tools.

 • Familiarity with data-informed design.

 

 • Delivery of intuitive mobile experiences that improve usability and engagement.

 • Strong alignment across Product, Design, and Engineering.

 • Continuous improvement through iteration and feedback.

 • A cohesive and scalable mobile UX supported by reusable patterns.
