📝 About the Role

We're looking for a Senior UX Designer to join our product trio as an equal partner alongside product management and engineering. You'll own the end-to-end experience for your product area—from discovery and research through prototyping, implementation, and working with the PM to measure UX outcomes.

This role requires strong product thinking combined with mastery of core UX and UI fundamentals. You'll report to the Director of UX but take leadership on conducting user research and usability testing to understand customer problems and validate solutions. You'll create high-fidelity wireframes, prototypes, and UI designs that meet accessibility standards and maintain visual consistency. And you'll partner closely with product managers and engineering leads to shape product strategy, prioritize features based on user insights, and ensure quality through implementation.

You'll build effective relationships with stakeholders across the business, communicate design decisions clearly, and contribute to how the team measures success through KPIs and metrics.

If you thrive on ownership, have a sharp eye for detail and want to shape experiences that create real value for Property Managers and Residents, we'd love to meet you.
