Birdy Grey is hiring a Senior Product UX Designer to craft exceptional experiences across the customer journey, from enticing product discovery through conversion and post-purchase lifecycle. This is a high-craft IC role at the center of product, engineering, and creative. The ideal candidate designs for both commerce conversion and engagement-first experiences, and brings a mix of design and systems thinking, accessibility fluency, and a genuine Gen Z cultural lens.

SCOPE OF RESPONSIBILITIES

• Own end-to-end UX for assigned product areas, from early concept through final Figma handoff.

• Own and evolve design system patterns and component standards, partnering with engineering to maintain consistency between Figma and production.

• Design conversion-optimized experiences across product discovery, consideration, cart, checkout.

• Design engagement-first features: quizzes, shopping and party coordination tools, and social sharing surfaces that fuel Birdy Grey’s lifecycle strategy.

• Partner with engineering on technical constraints (component libraries, APIs, microservices) and design within them without sacrificing quality.

• Collaborate with the creative team to keep digital experiences cohesive with brand identity and campaign direction.

• Conduct design reviews, usability sessions, and research synthesis to ground decisions in real user behavior.

• Advocate for and implement WCAG accessibility standards across all design work.

• Communicate design rationale clearly to cross-functional partners and stakeholders.

• Partner with Product, Growth, Analytics, and Engineering to identify customer friction, develop hypotheses, design experiments, and use results to improve conversion, engagement, and retention.

• Use quantitative and qualitative data to inform design decisions, including behavioral analytics, session recordings, customer research, and experiment results.

• Continue evaluating experiences after launch, using performance and customer behavior to identify opportunities for iteration and improvement.
