As a Sr. UX Designer on the Advertiser Experiences team, you should be comfortable prototyping and communicating design ideas at varying levels of fidelity.

You approach your craft with an AI-native mindset, actively integrating AI tools and capabilities into your research, ideation, and delivery process to move faster and raise the quality of your output. The ideal candidate will be able to visualize an experience in the abstract, break down complex use cases, and drive the vision into solid design deliverables.

You think first from the advertiser's perspective, use research and data to influence your designs, set relentlessly high standards for yourself, and deliver best-in-class experiences. You thrive in a fast-paced, agile environment and embrace the idea that failure is a critical part of innovation. You balance your passion for inspired, compelling, elegant yet simple designs with a highly analytical nature, precise execution, and a relentless drive to design, build, and deliver.

Key job responsibilities

• Build cross-functional relationships to promote collaboration and efficiency
• Contribute to and evolve the Advertiser Experiences design system for platform consistency
• Present design work and rationale to senior leadership, advocating for the advertiser experience
• Proactively manage your work queue, timelines, and expectations; communicate tradeoffs when needed
