Key responsibilities:

• Discovery → delivery: Plan and run lean discovery; translate insights into flows, wireframes, and high-fidelity prototypes; validate with evaluative research.
• E-grocery & omnichannel: Design list-building, re-order, substitutions, delivery slotting, order tracking, and receipts.
• Design system: Evolve tokens/components, variants, and patterns with RTL/LTR parity and localization; maintain code parity (Storybook/design-token exports) and CI checks for a11y/theming.
• Metrics & experiments: Define UX metrics and baselines; partner on instrumentation; propose A/B / multivariate tests; iterate to measurable uplifts (order conversion, AOV, reorder rate, retention, Customer feedback).
• Content & trust: Write clear Arabic/English microcopy; design for transparent pricing, consent, substitutions, and inventory nuance; build trustworthy UI.
• Accessibility & performance: Enforce WCAG 2.2 AA; set Core Web Vitals budgets; design resilient flows for intermittent connectivity.
• Cross-functional delivery: Partner with Product on scope/dependencies/risks; break work into incremental releases.
• Documentation & hygiene: Keep decisions documented; maintain tidy, versioned design files with naming conventions and traceability.

• Arabic (native-level) and English (excellent written/spoken).
• Portfolio with shipped work (B2C shopper flows and/or internal retail tools), showing problem → solution → impact, systems thinking, and measurable results.
• Tools & craft: Figma (auto-layout, variables, prototyping), design tokens, component libraries, usability testing fundamentals.
• Accessibility & performance: WCAG, performance-aware design, high-quality handoff, file/version hygiene.
• Proven ability to navigate ambiguity, make trade-offs, and deliver outcomes with incomplete data and shifting priorities.
• AI fluency: Safe, effective use of AI/LLMs to accelerate research, content, synthesis, and QA.

Ideal candidate:

• · Master’s in Product Design / MS-HCI / MFA, or MBA with design/tech emphasis.
