Senior UX/UI Design Lead

We're looking for a Senior UX/UI Design Lead to join our team and take ownership of the design vision and execution across digital products. This role is ideal for someone who combines strong hands-on design skills with proven leadership experience, and who is comfortable driving projects end-to-end while collaborating closely with product, engineering, and stakeholders.

You'll be responsible not only for creating high-quality user experiences, but also for mentoring designers, setting standards, and ensuring design excellence throughout the product lifecycle.

What You'll Do

• Lead the UX/UI design process for web-based products from ideation to launch, including discovery, research, wireframing, UI design, prototyping, QA, and post-launch iteration.
• Own and facilitate discovery and ideation phases, translating business and user needs into clear design solutions.
• Create and review wireframes, high-fidelity UI designs, and interactive prototypes.
• Ensure smooth design-to-development handoff, working closely with engineers and participating in QA to maintain design quality.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with product managers, developers, and other stakeholders to understand project goals, user requirements, and design specifications.
• Lead, mentor, and provide feedback to other designers, helping them grow and maintaining a high design standard.
• Contribute to and evolve design systems, patterns, and best practices.
• Communicate design decisions clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Optimize applications for maximum speed and scalability while ensuring cross-browser and cross-device compatibility and accessibility standards (WCAG AA)
• Proactively report to our internal Project Manager and manage your schedule to ensure all deadlines are met.

Who You Are

• 5+ years of experience as a UX/UI designer.
• 2+ years of experience in a leadership role (e.g. Senior Designer, UX/UI Lead, or similar) at an agency or established brand.
• A true team player who can work closely with others
• Multi-tasking and time-management skills, with the ability to prioritize tasks effectively.
• A proven track record delivering web projects end-to-end, from early discovery through to final QA and launch.
• Advanced proficiency in UX and UI design tools (e.g. Figma or similar) and Adobe Suite.
• Demonstrated ability to stay up-to-date with the latest web development trends and technologies
• Strong English skills, both written and spoken, with the ability to confidently participate in meetings and present work to our internal team and clients.
• Working knowledge of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, with a solid understanding of how front-end development works (using AI tools is fine, but candidates must understand what they're building and why).
• Excellent communication, organization, and leadership skills.
• Ability to balance strategic thinking with hands-on execution.
• Ability to work with distributed teams across different time zones.
• Must have consistent U.S. overlap and be available to work until 2pm ET; occasional flexibility for client or team meetings is expected.

Perks and Benefits

• Permanent remote work
• Compensated onsite retreats at our Bilbao HQ
• The opportunity to join a dynamic, close-knit team that loves going to work with and for each other every day
• Competitive benefits are offered for full time employees in Spain, including paid holidays, sick time, private health insurance, access to Wellhub, and more.

€4,000 - €5,000 a month Final compensation and benefits will depend on location and engagement type and will be discussed transparently during the interview process.
