Key Responsibilities:- Optimize User Journeys: Design and refine user acquisition experiences (e.g., landing pages, sign-up flows, checkout processes) to improve conversion rates across digital platforms.
- Friction vs. Ease Analysis: Continuously analyze where to add or remove friction in the user flow to achieve the optimal balance that maximizes both user intent and action.

- Data-Driven Decisions: Use quantitative and qualitative data to inform design decisions, with a focus on increasing conversion, minimizing churn, and improving overall user engagement.
- User Behavior Insights: Leverage analytics tools to understand user behaviors and identify opportunities for improving acquisition flows, reducing bounce rates, and increasing lifetime value.
- Iterative Design Approach: Rapidly prototype and test design hypotheses to identify high-impact solutions that enhance acquisition efficiency and user satisfaction.
- Stay Current: Keep up with the latest UX/UI, CRO, and performance marketing trends, ensuring that designs remain cutting-edge and competitive.
- 8+ years of experience in UX/UI design, with a focus on growth, acquisition, or conversion optimization.
- Proven track record of designing high-conversion user journeys, preferably for subscription or e-commerce businesses.

- Strong portfolio showcasing user acquisition designs, conversion optimization projects, and data-driven design decisions.
- Expertise in balancing user flow friction and ease, with a strong ability to drive meaningful performance improvements.
- Expertise in using design tools (e.g., Figma, Sketch, Adobe Creative Suite) and prototyping tools (e.g., InVision, Axure).
- Experience with A/B testing, user testing, and analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics, SiteSpect, Mixpanel) to inform design decisions.
- Deep understanding of user experience principles, interaction design, and user research methodologies.
- Strong communication and leadership skills with a track record of influencing stakeholders at all levels of the organization.
- Familiarity with front-end development technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) is a plus but not required.
- Experience working within growth or acquisition teams.
- Familiarity with front-end development practices (HTML/CSS) for better collaboration with engineering teams.
