#OurWayofWorking

Operating in a centralized model, we collaborate with multiple Scrum teams and cross-functional stakeholders across the organization. Our design practice combines structured discovery, continuous user research, and established delivery processes. Beyond sprint work, we proactively identify opportunities, remove design friction, and elevate the maturity of the product and team. Our culture values transparency, documentation, experimentation and continuous professional development.

As a Product Design Lead, you will:

Cross-functional collaboration

• Translate complex requirements into actionable design direction and clear problem definitions.

Team excellence

• Lead, mentor and inspire a team of product designers, supporting their growth and performance.
• Set expectations around craft, process and communication to build a high-performing team culture.
• Collaborate closely with UX Researchers, ensuring alignment on user metrics, research priorities and insight-generation. Support their ownership of user data by integrating findings directly into design strategy, planning and product decision-making.
• Establish feedback loops and coaching frameworks that elevate design quality and autonomy.
• Drive AI-led initiatives and introduce tools, workflows and automation that enhance team efficiency, reduce manual overhead and accelerate delivery.
• Enhance and evolve the Design System with a focus on scalability, consistency and cross-product alignment.

Ensure quality, consistency & scalability of design solutions

• A track record of elevating design quality and maturing design processes within complex product ecosystems.
• Experience working with mature design systems and ensuring consistent adoption across multiple products and teams.
• Experience with data-informed design — using analytics, user metrics, experimentation results and behavioral data to guide design decisions, validate solutions and shape the design strategy.
