• Ability to travel as needed to our SF, LA, or NYC offices to collaborate with colleagues in Product Design and other connected groups

• Minimum 3 years experience designing and shipping successful consumer experiences in a fast-paced product-centric, technology environment.
• Identifying core goals, success-KPI's and expectations in performance
• Utilizing rapid prototyping and iterative design techniques.
• Designing for multiple platforms and screens.
• Defining and evolving design systems.
• Working with a cross-functional team of designers, software engineers, product managers, and business owners through all development phases.
• Delivering engineering-friendly design specifications and documentation.
• Familiarity with version control.
• Excellent communication and presentation skills
• A conceptual, adaptive, and results-oriented approach to design.
• Sensitivity to handling of studio-based imagery and assets and the many facets of legality associated
• Experience in the business of digital subscription services, commercial advertising and brand campaign is a bonus
