Role summary
We need a UX contractor for a focused 6-month engagement to strengthen our product UX foundation, move critical design work forward, and help bring structure and speed to a growing platform. This person should be strong in systems thinking, comfortable working in complex product environments, and able to translate messy or technical problems into clear user experiences.

- Create user flows, wireframes, prototypes, and high-fidelity designs to support active product work.
- Partner closely with product, engineering, and data teams to move designs into implementation with quality and speed.

- Conduct targeted user research and usability validation where needed to improve confidence in the experience direction.
- Explore and apply AI-assisted design workflows where they improve efficiency or output quality.
