You live and breathe consumer mobile drawing on a broad set of experiences that reflect the attention to detail and big picture thinking expected at the senior designer level.

Experience with distributed/remote teams is required. You will be working with design team members located across Europe, the Middle East, India and other locations. We are open to some remote work as long as you can come into the London office on an as needed basis for key meetings, brainstorming sessions and meetings with product leadership.
