Your Role
As Lead Product Designer at ARIVE, you’ll be owning our design vision and playing a key role in shaping an elevated and truly enjoyable shopping experience for our customers.
You and your team will design ARIVE’s mobile and web applications and influence the product direction based on an holistic understanding of our user’s needs.
