• Lead the evolution of our internal design systems. 

• Proactively solicit feedback from fellow creatives and cross-disciplinary partners.

• Play a key role in shaping the future of Dia.com.

What we’re looking for:

• 6+ years professional experience with end-to-end digital product design (research, wireframes, flow diagrams, storyboards, mockups and/or high fidelity prototypes).

• A portfolio showcasing your ability to solve design problems.

• A strong understanding of interaction design concepts.

• The ability to clearly communicate and document your design decisions.

• An excellent sense of typography, layout, and general design principles.

• Strong systems thinking, information architecture, and visual design skills.

• Strong practical knowledge of user-centered design methodologies and usability principles.

• Someone who is meticulous, but able to iterate quickly.

• Someone who is comfortable defining success metrics and making data-driven design decisions.

• Familiarity with Figma and Validately/UserZoomGo or similar design and usability testing tools

• A self-starter attitude; an ambitious person that seeks new challenges.
