[Hiring] Lead Product Designer @Combine Global Recruitment

Role Description

• 6–10+ years of UX/Product Design experience, ideally including time in a consultancy, agency, or embedded-team setting where you've owned client or stakeholder relationships directly.
• Demonstrated ability to flex between leading a project (or a small team) and contributing as a senior IC, depending on what the engagement needs.
• Track record of improving existing products rather than designing greenfield experiences — measurable wins on usability, conversion, or workflow efficiency.
• Strong visual and UI judgment for forms, workflows, CTAs, hierarchy, and layout. You can defend a layout decision on the merits.
• Comfort working closely with engineering against live implementations — you can read a real interface and tell us what's wrong with it before opening Figma.
• Ability to articulate why a design decision was made and what problem it solves, to audiences ranging from engineers to executives.
• Experience facilitating cross-functional workshops and leading business reviews or strategic planning sessions with senior stakeholders.

Qualifications

• Background designing for regulated or enterprise domains (finance, compliance, GRC, banking, or similar).
• Experience designing software embedded inside third-party platforms.
• Familiarity with mature component libraries and design systems (MUI or similar).
• Experience mentoring or leveling up other designers through example and critique.
• Working knowledge of HTML/CSS; JavaScript a plus.
• Degree in Design, HCI, Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field — or equivalent experience.
