Requirements

• 2–4 years of UX/Product Design experience creating consumer-facing products (experience with small business (SMB) users strongly preferred; enterprise-only experience is not a fit)

• Data-Informed Design: Comfortable working with analytics and behavioral data to refine UX
• Empathy for SMB Users: Able to design simple, elegant experiences for non-tech-savvy small business owners
• Context Switching: Manage multiple projects, both strategic and tactical, and connect the dots between micro and macro UX

Responsibilities

• Champion UX: Advocate for user-centric design across teams, from early concepts to final execution
• Understand Members: Regularly engage with SMB users to translate their needs into intuitive, impactful designs
