Lead Experience Designer

Overview Our Experience Design team crafts digital experiences people love to use. We are collaborators and innovators who thrive in multidisciplinary teams. We can start from a blank page and help realize the vision for a great experience, and aren’t afraid to get our hands dirty making that vision a reality.

Our experience runs the gamut from site to mobile, eCom to campaign, marketing to editorial to product (AI powered and non), with one foot in beautiful visual expressions and the other in rock‑solid user experience. At heart we are designers who love creating new, meaningful experiences and are well versed in the practice of modern digital experience creation. You will play a central role within a fun and supportive Experience Design team spanning UX, content, visual design and code.

You will collaborate closely with strategy, technology, and leadership to align user needs and system decisions with technical constraints and business goals. You will help set direction and shared expectations for design work in a fast‑changing landscape — maintaining high craft, cohesion, and quality across all outputs. Qualifications A portfolio full of beautiful, usable experiences designed across devices and contexts — with clear evidence of systems thinking at scale Experience building and scaling design systems, with demonstrable production experience with Figma variables, tokens, and component libraries.
