About the Role
You’ll own and drive design for both user-facing and platform-facing journeys, focusing on scientist & supplier personas. Your work will include ideation, research, interaction design, prototyping, and hand-off to engineering — ensuring every touchpoint is usable, efficient, scalable, and aligned with business goals. You’ll partner closely with Product Managers, Engineers, Data / AI teams, and Operations to build experiences that delight users while enabling enterprise-scale workflow.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead end-to-end design from discovery, prototyping, interface design, through final hand-off, across scientist-facing and supplier-facing workflows.
- Translate user research, business goals, and analytics into intuitive, scalable design solutions for complex scenarios (e.g. search & discovery, dashboards, supplier order flows).
- Design interaction flows, wireframes, high-fidelity mockups, and prototypes for both Web product features and internal / platform tools.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with Product Managers, Engineers, AI / Data teams and Operations to ensure feasibility and alignment while pushing for high usability and excellence.
- Contribute to or evolve our Design System — ensure UI consistency, support scalable components, and shape reusable patterns for both B2C-style and B2B-SaaS features.
- Advocate for both end-user delight (scientists) and operational efficiency / clarity (supplier tools), balancing visual design, accessibility, and system constraints.
- Apply metrics, analytics, usability testing, and user feedback to iterate designs and improve key performance indicators (e.g. task success, error rates, conversion, supplier satisfaction).
- Communicate design rationale and decisions clearly to stakeholders across engineering, product leadership, and operations, influencing product strategy.
About You

- Proficiency in design & prototyping tools (e.g. Figma, Sketch, Adobe XD etc.).
- Deep understanding of interaction / UI design patterns, responsive design, accessibility, and design system best practices.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience designing for B2B / SaaS workflows (dashboards, permissioned roles, analytics, enterprise tools) and user-facing / consumer-style flows (search / discovery / checkout).
- Comfortable working with data / AI-driven products: collaborating with data / ML teams to design recommendation / personalization interfaces.
- Proven track record of solving ambiguous, complex design problems and influencing product strategy via design.
- Experience building or evolving design systems; thinking in components & reusable patterns across multiple product domains.
- Strong verbal & written communication skills: able to present your work to senior leadership and cross-functional teams.
