Job Description
About the Role
We’re looking for a Senior UX/UI Designer who is passionate about crafting thoughtful, data-driven, and user-centric digital experiences.
This role goes beyond execution—you’ll play a key part in shaping what we build and why. You’ll ground design decisions in customer insights, experimentation, and measurable business impact.
Reporting to the Director of Digital Product & UX/UI, you’ll own the end-to-end design process—from defining research strategy to delivering polished UI and developer-ready handoffs. You’ll collaborate closely with Product, Engineering, and cross-functional teams to drive innovation and elevate the overall digital experience.
What You’ll Do

- Identify opportunities to continuously improve the digital customer experience
Own Research Strategy (Not Just Execution)
- Translate product roadmaps into clear research plans
- Identify knowledge gaps and define hypotheses
- Lead qualitative and quantitative user research initiatives
Design with Data & Experimentation
- Partner with Product and Engineering to validate ideas through A/B testing
- Use insights to iterate and optimize user experiences
- Leverage tools like Shoplift (or similar experimentation platforms)
Leverage AI in Design Workflows
- Use AI tools to accelerate ideation, research synthesis, and prototyping
- Maintain high-quality outputs while increasing speed and efficiency
Deliver End-to-End UX/UI Design
- Create user flows, wireframes, prototypes, and high-fidelity UI
- Translate business goals and user needs into intuitive designs
Continuously Optimize Performance
- Audit and improve website experiences to reduce friction and increase conversion
- Drive ongoing improvements across the customer journey
Collaborate Cross-Functionally
- Work with Product, Engineering, Marketing, and Brand teams
- Ensure designs are feasible, scalable, and aligned with business goals
Design for Scale
- Contribute to and evolve the design system in Figma
- Ensure consistency, reusability, and efficiency across components
About You
- You think like a product designer—focused on outcomes, not just outputs
- You’re deeply curious about users and turn insights into action
- You thrive in ambiguity and can define problems independently
- You have a strong experimentation mindset (test → learn → iterate)
- You actively use AI tools to enhance your workflow
- You’re highly collaborative and influence stakeholders through storytelling
- You excel in fast-paced, test-and-learn environments
- 5+ years of experience in UX/UI or Product Design (preferably in eCommerce)
- Proven experience owning research strategies tied to product or business goals
- Strong background in A/B testing and experimentation frameworks
- Proficiency in Figma (wireframing, prototyping, component systems)
- Experience with Shopify (Liquid) or similar eCommerce platforms is a plus
- Experience working with in-house development teams and delivering handoffs
- Strong understanding of responsive, mobile-first design
- Experience building and maintaining design systems
- Familiarity with AI tools for design/research workflows
- Basic knowledge of HTML/CSS/JS is a plus
- Understanding of accessibility best practices
