As a Senior Product Designer, you’ll join a dynamic team working to build a best in class global food platform across Samsung, at the intersection of technology, wellness, and behavior design — helping millions of users make meaningful, positive changes in their daily lives.

As a Senior Product Designer, you’ll lead design projects of significant scope, complexity and responsibility in creative vision, strategy and execution. You’ll also help lead and support a team of multi-disciplinary designers working across different initiatives.

In this role you will

1. Collaborate closely with multidisciplinary design, product management and engineering teams to frame user needs and behaviour, define optimized user flows, and tweak pixels before launch. You’ll be responsible for driving design vision and delivering thoughtful and polished design work to ultimately build and ship the best products.
2. Shape the user experience vision for all surfaces across the Samsung food platform. You’ll work on projects from start to finish, while participating in and facilitating various UX initiatives including design sprints to define and explore problems, content mapping, sketching, wireframing, low and high fidelity prototyping, etc.
3. Drive customer focus by initiating and facilitating user research. Stay close to insights and data to understand the impact of the team’s work and help build context and make decisions informed by empathy for our customers.
4. Leverage an agile design approach and collaborative model, thriving in a fast-paced environment, adjusting quickly to pivots, shifting priorities or timelines.
5. Lead and support the entire team by being an active mentor for others, sharing insights, and best practices. Help manage design reviews, collaborate in roadmap planning, and triage incoming design tasks. 
6. Apply systems thinking to build and innovate on our design system and visual language across the entire platform, while maintaining a cohesive and holistic user experience aligned with global best practices and Samsung One UI design principles.
