• Translate complex real estate/accounting concepts into clear, understandable UX flows.
• Participate in scoping, refinement, and feature definition with PMs and engineering partners.
• Explore edge cases, technical constraints, and tradeoffs early to influence scope and reduce rework.
• Produce handoff-ready documentation: annotations, tokens, interaction states, and behavior rules.
• Advocate for the user by grounding decisions in feedback, usability insights, and real workflow understanding.
• Help facilitate user interviews, prototype testing, and product discovery sessions
• Contribute to product direction, identifying opportunities, defining hypotheses, and proposing UX improvements.
• Iterate quickly based on real customer usage, data patterns, and product feedback.

• Strong communication skills, ability to articulate design rationale and collaborate with product/engineering.
• Detail-oriented: comfortable designing edge cases, empty states, loading states, errors, and data-heavy screens.
• Curiosity and willingness to understand real-estate/accounting/data concepts (we’ll teach you).

Nice to Have

• Experience designing data-heavy products (dashboards, tables, workflows).
