Senior / Lead Product Designer (UX/UI)

We are building an end-to-end digital ecosystem for insurance market participants.

We are looking for an experienced Lead UX/UI Designer who can join research efforts, interface design, and the adoption of cutting-edge AI tools into the team’s day-to-day practice from day one.
