3. Map complex user journeys and service blueprints to uncover pain points and opportunity areas
4. Facilitate co-creation and ideation workshops with stakeholders, users, and your cross-functional team
5. Communicate your design rationale clearly through visuals, presentations, and storytelling
6. Advocate for accessibility, inclusive design, and consistent use of design system components
7. Partner closely with product managers and engineers to scope, test, and deliver features that are user-friendly and technically feasible
8. Contribute to and maintain our design system to ensure cohesion across products

3. Proficiency in tools like Figma, Miro, Maze, Google Analytics, Notion, and familiarity with Jira or similar tools
4. Comfortable working in agile teams and engaging in rapid cycles of iteration and feedback
5. Strong stakeholder management skills and the ability to align design decisions with business and user goals
6. Clear communicator with excellent visual, written, and presentation skills
7. Familiarity with design principles, typography, and accessibility guidelines (e.g., WCAG)
8. Strong concept creation and copywriting skills will be a bonus.
9. Prior experience with designing for government services, regulated domains, or complex workflows is a strong plus
10. Knowledge of OKRs and product analytics tools is a bonus
