Role
Who you are
- 10+ years experience as a Product Designer, including significant time operating at a senior/staff/lead level in fast-paced environments
- Deep experience in consumer facing technology, fintech, or platform products, with a portfolio that shows range across strategic and executional work
- A demonstrated ability to make and defend strategic design decisions — balancing user needs, business goals, and technical constraints — and to influence roadmap and prioritization conversations at the leadership level
- A strong, well-articulated point of view on design quality, backed by research, data, and experience, along with the ability to teach that point of view to others
- Proven experience mentoring, guiding, or informally leading other designers — through critique, pairing, career conversations, or setting team-wide standards
- Craft user-friendly, delightful experiences with an exceptionally high bar for visual polish, information architecture, and cognitive load
- Comfort operating with ambiguity — able to bring structure and strategic clarity to 0-to-1 problems with incomplete information
- Autonomously ship features from 0 to 1 with a high bar for IA, UX, UI, and final visuals, while also stepping back to ensure the broader system stays coherent
- Strong stakeholder management skills — able to represent design's perspective persuasively in front of executives, PMs, and engineering leads
What the job involves
- We're looking for a seasoned design leader to set the strategic direction for our design practice, elevate our craft and culture, and shape how design shows up across the company
- This is not a people-management role in the traditional sense — it's a Lead IC position for someone who influences through vision, judgment, and mentorship rather than headcount
- You'll partner directly with product, engineering, and executive leadership to define where design needs to go, and you'll bring the rest of the team with you by setting the bar, coaching others up to it, and being the voice of design at the table where strategy gets decided
- Lead the design vision, execution and strategy across all user-facing surfaces, including rebrands and redesigns
- Own the end-to-end experience and vision for a new desktop web app (rebranded components, UX upgrades)
- Set the design direction in partnership with brand and marketing for new marketing pages (rebranded components, IA, UX upgrades)
- Define the rituals, review processes, and culture that increase the velocity and quality of the design team
- Be the standard-bearer for mindful, high-craft EPD collaboration — modeling and teaching it to others
- Partner with product and executive leadership to define design's role in company strategy, not just execute against a roadmap handed to you. Weigh in on what we build, not only how
- Be a recognized point of view within the org (and ideally externally) on design quality, systems thinking, and product craft. Set direction on design principles and standards that outlast any single project
- Actively coach other designers, giving thoughtful critique, unblocking their thinking, and helping them grow their judgment — not just their output. Be the person others go to when a design problem is genuinely hard
- Lead the definition of new components and the redesigned app experience across Mobile
- Own and guide a new design system (web, mobile, marketing) post-rebrand, and establish the governance model for how it evolves
Salary benchmarks
Our take
4G networks transformed our internet experience with faster speeds and better connectivity, and 5G is now taking this further with even quicker speeds. Although 5G is becoming more common, it remains relatively new and not universally available. Networks offering 5G can be costly and might not always match the features of 4G networks.
US Mobile provides 5G mobile data connectivity in the US, claiming to reach speeds of up to 3GB p/s through eSIMs that can be activated remotely. The company offers a range of plans from cheap "talk and text" to unlimited data packages, the latter of which comes with a variety of perks such as free streaming service subscriptions and free international calls.
Whilst the company will face competition from the growing number of 5G network providers, US Mobile stands out by focusing on providing access to all, from unlimited family 3GB p/s packages to individual basic text and call SIMs. The company also guarantees full US coverage, in addition to providing various group pool packages for families and businesses - features which should see it remain a strong option in the market.
