Your mission is to craft experiences that are useful, usable, and enjoyable, with a strong focus on reducing friction and increasing purchase success. You will join the Domain Leadership team, working with Engineering, Product, and Data Science & Analytics to translate strategy into measurable impact.

• Build strong partnerships with other design functions—such as User Research, Content Design, Localisations, and Comms Design—to ensure we deeply understand member problems, ground decisions on evidence and consistently deliver higher-quality, higher-impact solutions.
• Own craft excellence across the domain, balancing speed of execution with a strong focus on quality.
• Serve as the design voice of the domain, reporting progress, insights, and strategic updates to Marketplace Leadership.
• Lead hiring, team design and performance management for the design team while supporting the professional growth and long-term development of designers.
