Target launch for Phase I of the project is February 6 and will span eight weeks, with possible continuation of the project up to 18 months. This is a remote-friendly position. A candidate in this role will lead the creation of customer-centered concepts, prototypes, and front end designs. They will have deep empathy for user needs and behaviors with a solid understanding of how to leverage design research. They understand how to express business model, brand, and growth strategy within the user flows they shape.
