At Artefact, our purpose is to harness design and technology to create a more equitable and sustainable world. As a Lead Product Designer, you will work alongside a committed group of innovation professionals to help define the strategy and experience for our clients’ digital products. This is a lead level role, meaning that in addition to working hands-on, you will manage the day to day of the project, including directing internal staff and serving as the primary design contact to the client. You should have enough experience to confidently shepherd and educate a client on the values of design.

Surrounded by a supportive and smart group of creative and business professionals, you will gain continued exposure to the most current design technologies and gain valuable experience working with research, strategy and engineering teams/methodologies.

If you love to drive conceptual, UX, and visual directions, understand how to execute at a high level of craft, and get excited about sharing the strategy behind your design with clients and colleagues alike, then we’d love to connect.

• Establish new design systems or work within existing ones
• Work with user researchers to turn observational and other data into creative solutions
