• Design System Evolution: Contribute to and advocate for our internal design system to ensure consistency, accessibility (AODA/WCAG), and scalability across our platform.

  Experience:
  
  Proven track record in UX/Product Design, ideally within Fintech, Insurtech, or complex SaaS environments.
• Portfolio of Impact: A portfolio that showcases your thinking process—not just final screens. We want to see how you handled constraints and navigated complex user flows.
• Tool Mastery: Expert-level skills in Figma and familiarity with modern hand-off and research tools.
• Strategic Mindset: Ability to balance “blue-sky” vision with the “MVP” reality of an agile, fast-moving startup.
