• Design Democratization: Experience in building scalable systems and workflows that empower the broader organization to utilize AI tools while maintaining high UX standards and brand integrity.
• Experience: Minimum of 8+ years of experience in a web-based, product-centric company, with a proven background in SaaS products.
