Marketing · Contractor

---

Join a fast-growing cybersecurity company building privacy and security products used by millions of people worldwide. We are a fully remote global team working at the intersection of digital privacy, security, and online freedom.

We are looking for a Lead Designer (Hands-on) — a strong, hands-on design leader who combines personal execution with team leadership. This is not a classic management role: the majority of your time will still be spent designing, while you also guide and support designers te. You will work closely with marketing, and engineering teams.

What you will do

• Design across platforms: web, mobile (iOS and Android), desktop (macOS and Windows), browser extensions
• Develop end-to-end UX flows, including edge cases, error states, and interaction logic
• Guide and distribute tasks between designers on your team, run weekly syncs and design reviews
• Maintain and evolve the design system — components, tokens, and reusable patterns
• Conduct UX research and competitive analysis to ground design decisions in evidence
• Formulate and test design hypotheses through A/B testing and user research
• Present, justify, and defend design solutions in design reviews and cross-functional discussions
• Support marketing needs: banners, promotional materials, and advertising creatives
• Hand off designs to engineering via Figma Dev Mode and support implementation to ensure fidelity

What we are looking for

• Strong portfolio demonstrating extensive 4+ years experience in UX/UI design for both web and mobile applications across multiple languages and localized contexts.
• Demonstrated track record of improving conversion rates and enhancing the overall user experience through data-driven design decisions.
• Proven ability to balance a primary focus on product design with impactful communication design, including advertising creatives, marketing assets, and brand projects.
• Hands-on experience designing and conducting experiments, such as A/B testing and user research, to validate user flows and interface elements.
• Advanced proficiency in industry-standard design, prototyping, and collaboration tools, with an exceptional level of expertise in Figma.
• Proven ability to effectively leverage AI tools and automation to enhance performance, optimize workflows, and support data-driven decisions.
• Exceptional skill in formulating design hypotheses, test and validate them effectively.
• Strategic design leadership skills aimed at ensuring visual and functional consistency across both product features and user acquisition campaigns.
• Experience implementing AI tools to streamline and speedup deliverables.
• Exceptional cross-functional communication and team management skills, with a proven ability to align design strategies and collaborate effectively across product, marketing, business, and development teams.
• Previous experience managing other designers 1+ years, with the ability to combine hands-on execution with team leadership responsibilities.
• Previous background working in highly dynamic, fast-paced markets
• Localization and internationalization experience for multilingual, global-audience products
• Upper-Intermediate (B2) or higher level of English proficiency.

Nice to Have
