You make high-level decisions on how brand and consumer experiences are strategically implemented, and you lead large-scale projects, on your own or with other designers. You report to the Head of Design and work closely with Product leaders and our Lead Consumer Researcher. You'll also help shape how Bankrate's UX advocates for the consumer. You're technical. You understand code and how engineering works, you're grounded in research and design fundamentals, and agentic tools are a normal part of your work. You prototype in code when that answers the question faster than a meeting would, and you know which work needs polish and which doesn't. You move work through engineering systems and across teams without waiting for hand-offs.
What You’ll Do:On top of strong end-to-end execution, technical fluency, and accountability for brand and experience standards, you'll own:
