Responsibilities
Work as part of a cross-functional pod — designer, PM, and engineers moving from problem tovalidatedprototype in a focused 1–2 weeksprint
Partner with the PM through Research & Discovery to understand and scope the problem, and start conceptualizing in Claude Design early rather than waiting for a handoff
Do the upstream thinking inCowork— problem framing, flow logic, and edge-case mapping — and distil it into a clear strategic summary that drives the making
Design every state, not just the happy path: empty, loading, error, partial data, and edge cases
Iterate together through validation — stress-testing flows, folding in the client feedback the PM gathers, and preparing work for engineering
Produce the validated Claude Design prototype as the primary handoff artefact, backed by clear supporting documentation and design rationale
Build with components and tokens from our design system, and help extend the team's practice — contributing to skills, agents, quality gates, andDesignOps
Conceptually design information architecture and UX flows for complex data structures, supporting paradigms like search, navigation, and actionable business functionality
Stay engaged beyond handoff — supporting engineering through build and QA so the experience ships as intended
Articulate your decisions clearly to cross-functional partners, keep your reasoning visible, and track work in the team's tools (e.g., Aha, Azure DevOps)
Be present for the meetings that matter, internally and across teams in different time zones
