- Collaborate closely with internal teams to translate client needs into clear concepts, scope, and execution plans.
Requirements
- Strong product design portfolio showing end-to-end delivery (research/discovery through prototype and UI).
- Experience partnering with stakeholders and presenting work in client or pitch settings.
- Ability to balance design execution with growth and business development responsibilities.
- Strong communication skills and a knack for turning ideas into persuasive, well-structured narratives.
Benefits
- Hybrid work model in New York.
- Opportunity to work on high-impact projects for leading financial and fintech organizations.
- Role combining creative leadership with growth ownership.
