You will report to the Core Team Lead for development-related tasks and to a Senior Product Manager for UX design initiatives.

In this role you will have the opportunity to:

1. Significantly impact our product direction and user experience as the primary UX/UI professional.
2. Engage in a transformative project within a dynamic team environment.
3. Grow to potential future roles based on the project's impact and your performance.

Key Responsibilities

1. Design and develop the visual and interactive user interface elements of our application.
2. Translate conceptual design ideas into usable and efficient application interfaces.
3. Manage front-end development, ensuring alignment with UX principles to optimize usability.
4. Lead user testing and feedback sessions to refine functionality and design.
5. Maintain a balance between UX design and UI development to meet project deadlines and objectives effectively.

4. Result Oriented: You're a doer, not a perfectionist. Self-motivated and driven, you get things done, whether you're flying solo or rallying the team. Your energy is contagious, and you lead by example to hit those targets.
