Proven ability to influence stakeholders and communicate design rationale across technical and non-technical audiences.
Proficiency with modern design and prototyping tools such as Figma or equivalent platforms.
Strong portfolio demonstrating end-to-end product design, systems thinking, and measurable business impact.

Preferred Qualifications
Experience designing dashboards, reporting tools, analytics platforms, workflow systems, or other data-intensive applications.
Familiarity with design systems and scalable component-based design approaches.
