Function seeking a Senior Designer to join our Digital team.
Design and user experience are at the forefront of everything we do. The job of a Senior Designer is to envision how people experience our products and bring that vision to life in a way that feels inspired, refined and even magical.

- Work closely with other designers to develop and expand product design patterns
- Help engineers and product managers define both the long-term strategy and the short-term tactics for our products and campaigns

- Work in a highly collaborative fashion across product teams
- Consider all parts of the experience, from copy to animations to business model, when designing
- Articulate and defend conceptual, design, and directional choices
- Promote continual creative improvement and actively contribute to a culture of innovation, excellence and accountability
