About the Role
We are seeking a highly creative, experienced, and strategic Senior UI / UX Designer to lead the design of user-centric, visually compelling digital experiences across web and mobile platforms.

Oversee and mentor a team of junior and mid-level designers, providing guidance, feedback, and support to ensure quality and consistency.
Act as the design lead during client meetings, presentations, and project kickoffs — effectively articulating design thinking and rationale.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams including developers, product managers, and business stakeholders to define design requirements and solutions.

Develop wireframes, user flows, prototypes, and high-fidelity UI designs that align with project goals and user needs.
Ensure brand consistency and uphold design standards across all deliverables by managing and evolving our design systems and style guides.
Contribute to proposals and pitches, bringing in UX strategy and design thinking as part of the pre-sales process.
Stay on top of emerging design trends, tools, and technologies, and introduce innovative ideas to enhance user experience.
Requirements
5+ years of professional experience in UI / UX design, with at least 1–2 years in a team leadership or design lead role.
Strong portfolio demonstrating user-centric digital products across multiple platforms.

Solid understanding of AI, responsive design, accessibility standards, and modern UI design principles.
Experience with user research, usability testing, and data-informed design decisions.
