• Own and create design impact. Work alongside other designers, product managers, researchers, and engineers, to conceptualise new features and evolve workflows with a keen eye for detail. Ensure successful implementation of solutions that accelerate and enhance motion based content creation.
• Collaborate and strategize. Partner with cross-functional team members to inspire and envision future product features and roadmap that are grounded in user research and data.
• Approach problems holistically. Define patterns and frameworks, to lay the foundations of a design-system for animation.
• Investigate and iterate. Partner closely with the user research team to test your prototypes, capture insights, and integrate your findings into iterations to help improve existing experiences and discover new opportunities.
• Be agile and hold a high bar for quality. Craft experiences that align to the goals, priorities, and timelines of the product. Coordinate multiple projects to completion, and drive adoption of user experience best practices.
