About The Role

You will establish a vision of the user experience for our merchants and providers alike. Our ambition is to create powerful experiences at the intersection of function and delight.

This role will contribute largely towards improving the user experience across Nash’s digital products and will work closely with Product, Engineering, Data, and other stakeholders to plan, estimate, and execute on best-in-class interactive experiences.

The ideal candidate has a proven design aesthetic, well-established processes, and strong design principles.
