Lead and unify the agency's design technology practice, managing engineering teams, delivery across multiple engagements, technical strategy, architecture, standards, prototyping, AI-assisted tooling, and cross-disciplinary collaboration with designers and clients to ensure consistent, high-quality outcomes.

Lead and execute product design for a short-term rental SaaS: set design vision and standards, own the design system, lead a small player-coach design team, ship high‑impact work end-to-end, and use research, analytics, experimentation, and customer feedback to prove impact.

Lead and deliver complex consulting engagements translating strategy into executable operating models, organisation design, governance, and performance improvements. Manage senior stakeholders, design methodologies, facilitate workshops, produce executive-ready recommendations and roadmaps, coordinate multidisciplinary teams, manage scope/risk/commercials, drive business development, and coach consultants to embed scalable ways of working.

Lead hands-on marketing design from concept through execution across multiple campaigns for Duck.ai, Search/Browse, and Subscriptions. Generate creative direction, produce high-craft on-brand assets, collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders, build reusable systems to scale marketing production, and mentor designers while working independently on scoping, stakeholder alignment, and delivery.

Lead and grow a distributed Global Payments product design team, drive strategy and execution across cross-border payments, local payment methods, tax compliance, and localization. Partner with Product, Engineering, Marketing, and leadership to prioritize initiatives, establish collaboration practices, and raise design craft and impact.

Lead the design, development, and verification of test solutions for products, collaborating with teams and ensuring quality. Utilize Lean Sigma principles to improve processes.

Lead and execute digital verification for mixed-signal ICs: define verification plans, create reusable testbenches, drive metric-driven verification, mentor teams, and improve verification methodology.

Design and develop digital circuit architectures from concept through production for mixed-signal SoCs. Create block-level RTL, verify designs, perform synthesis and timing analysis, collaborate across teams, and mentor junior engineers to ensure IP quality and delivery.

The Staff Package Design Engineer will create packaging solutions for high-performance products, collaborate with teams, and drive design improvements and validation processes.
