Responsibilities
Experimentation Cycle: Partner with Product Management to conceptualize and design A/B tests, ranging from minor UX optimizations to bold net-new concepts, for our quote/purchase flows
End-to-End Execution: Take ownership of the whole design process—from initial wireframes and user flows to high-fidelity UI and interactive prototypes
Collaborative Strategy: Partner closely with the Product Manager and Engineers to identify friction points in the funnel and design solutions that drive Conversion Rate (CVR) and other key performance metrics (Drop-off, LTV, etc.)
Data-Driven Design: Leverage data insights to validate hypotheses and help inform the next design iteration
Developer Handoff & QA: Maintain high standards and ensure seamless implementation by providing clear documentation, annotations, and assets to engineers, and conducting design QA of all before launch

Qualification
Required
Experience: 3+ years of professional experience in Product Design, specifically focused on UX and UI for digital products
Growth Mindset: Proven track record of optimizing conversion funnels and using A/B testing methodologies to measure success
Design Craft: Mastery of Figma and a deep understanding of responsive design, grid systems, etc
System Thinking: Experience working with and contributing to component libraries to ensure visual consistency and speed
Analytical Literacy: Familiarity with Google Analytics (or similar tools) to track user behavior and evaluate experiment performance
Scrappy & Adaptive: Ability to 'right-size' your design approach—knowing when to build a quick-and-dirty mockup for a 2-day test versus a polished system for a core feature
Customer Empathy: A genuine curiosity about the 'pet parent' mindset, translating emotional needs into functional, trustworthy interfaces
Preferred
Advanced Prototyping & Motion: Proficiency in Figma and other prototyping tools to demonstrate complex interactions. Ability to use subtle motion design to guide users through the funnel and provide delightful feedback
Rapid Iteration via Low-Code/No-Code Tools: Experience using tools like Heyflow, Unbounce, or Optimizely to build and launch landing pages or experiments independently, bypassing traditional engineering bottlenecks
Front-End Foundations: A working knowledge of HTML, CSS, and code that helps you communicate with engineers and understand technical constraints
Visual Communication & Storytelling: Skill in creating simple illustrations or icons that help explain complex insurance or pet-care concepts to the user visually
UX Writing & Microcopy: Ability to craft clear, concise, and persuasive UI copy. You can self-serve on button labels, error messages, and value propositions to keep experiments moving without waiting for a dedicated copywriter
