Remote UX/UI Lead Designer

Are You Ready to Design Experiences People Remember?

What if your design decisions didn’t just make apps prettier but fundamentally easier, brighter, and more joyful for thousands of users every day? As our next Remote UX/UI Lead Designer, you’ll elevate every touchpoint of our products. You’ll start each day knowing your insights have shaped onboarding, simplified navigation, and sparked moments of delight that drive brand loyalty. Here, your creativity and critical thinking will be the difference between ‘just another platform’ and a solution our users truly love.

Your Mission: Build Human-Centered Solutions—Anywhere

From your workspace—whether that’s a sunlit home studio or a favorite neighborhood café—you’ll have the freedom and responsibility to set a design vision that reaches far beyond borders. You'll thrive in an environment where deep focus and rapid iteration go hand in hand, and your leadership will be the catalyst for products that surprise, inspire, and empower.

What You’ll Make Possible

User Experience Leadership

Forget pixel-pushing for the sake of it—your design philosophy will inform everything from initial discovery workshops to final QA. Each user journey map, persona, and wireframe is an opportunity to turn confusion into clarity. Your eye for intuitive flows and detail will redefine what’s possible in a remote-first product.

Design Strategy & Vision

Imagine shaping the design system that guides our features for years to come. You’ll drive not just interface polish but also holistic consistency—anticipating user needs and setting a gold standard for visual identity. When product managers debate roadmap prioritization or engineering suggests new functionality, your voice ensures design never becomes an afterthought.

Collaboration Without Borders

Here, you’ll partner daily with product, engineering, and support—not in silos, but in pursuit of shared goals. You’ll host workshops in Miro, provide feedback in Figma, and bring clarity to complex technical discussions over Zoom or Slack. Your ability to simplify big ideas and spark “aha” moments in cross-team alignment will make you the go-to design thinker.

Championing Usability

Whether you’re conducting usability testing with a first-time user or gathering feedback from long-time customers, you’ll always be learning. The discoveries you make during research sessions directly guide development cycles, ensuring that each feature lifecycle is anchored in real user needs—not assumptions.

Mentoring & Growth

Great leaders lift others. You’ll mentor junior designers, nurture their confidence, and unlock their potential. You’ll share frameworks, design critique rituals, and UX best practices—setting the bar for craftsmanship and collaboration. You’ll be the person others look to when challenges arise, knowing you’ll help turn roadblocks into learning opportunities.

Your Day-to-Day Impact

• Set design direction for multiple digital products, championing cohesive user experiences that consistently earn customer praise.
• Utilize research-driven insights to challenge the status quo, ensuring our products remain at the forefront in terms of accessibility and ease of use.
• Collaborate with engineers to launch features that 20,000+ users rely on daily, striking a balance between speed and quality.
• Shape every stage of the feature lifecycle, from ideation to high-fidelity prototypes, using tools like Figma, Adobe XD, and Notion.
• Conduct remote usability studies and interpret the findings to influence roadmap prioritization directly.
• Present concepts and rationale to diverse audiences, simplifying complex ideas—whether it's over Zoom or Slack.

The Tools You’ll Leverage

• Design & Prototyping: Figma, Adobe XD, Sketch, InVision
• User Research: Maze, Lookback, UserTesting, Miro
• Remote Collaboration Stack: Notion, Slack, Zoom, Jira
• Handoff & Feedback: Zeplin, Abstract, Loom

Our workflow is agile, but you’ll always have the space to focus intensely, shipping thoughtfully crafted work that gets noticed.

Who Thrives in This Role

You’re a designer who sees beyond the screen—someone who asks, “Why would the user care?” as often as “How does it look?” You’ve moved quickly in previous roles, but you value quality over quantity, and you advocate for design even when it’s not the easiest path. You’re energized by turning stakeholder feedback into actionable changes, and you believe accessibility is non-negotiable, not just a checkbox.

Your leadership doesn’t depend on job titles—it’s about how you bring people together, build consensus, and set the tone for courageous, user-driven design. You find creative ways to gather feedback and iterate, even when projects get ambiguous or timelines are tight.

Skills and Experience That Make You Stand Out

• 5+ years in UX/UI design, with at least 2 years leading product design on cross-disciplinary teams
• Deep expertise in responsive web and mobile app design, with a portfolio showing processes as much as outcomes
• Mastery of prototyping, user flows, and interactive design—plus experience facilitating workshops and critique sessions
• Real-world experience running and interpreting remote usability tests
• Ability to translate ambiguous product goals into clear, actionable design decisions
• A knack for transforming complex requirements into delightfully simple interfaces

Most importantly, you turn ideas into reality, all while championing accessibility, scalability, and empathy for the user.
