In Short

• Conduct user research in collaboration with product management
• Take ownership of the full design lifecycle for new features and product improvements, from initial concept to implementation.

Requirements

• 7+ years of product design experience
• Prior product design experience of B2B SaaS products is a huge plus
• A design stack expert: Fluency in Figma, Zeplin, Miro, or other design, collaboration, and prototyping tools. Ability to understand and/or write HTML / CSS is a nice bonus.
• English Fluency: most of our teams and customers are based in the United States
• The ability to work in a start-up environment: you work well in short design sprints and can be flexible with occasional shifts in priority
• A strong understanding of design principles that include an affinity for consistency, color-use, typography, and a keen eye for subtle details, but an understanding of when to make trade-offs to ensure business targets are achieved.
• Experience, or at least familiarity with, running user research campaigns that dig into user goals and points of friction
• An exceptional communicator: you share your design thinking by stating upfront the design goals and user flows you are solving for. You can verbalize why certain choices were made and the pros/cons of any alternatives you considered.
• An open mind: You take feedback without defensiveness and will incorporate others’ perspectives if they make sense.
• A bias for action: you like to move quickly, and are always iterating on ideas.
• An ownership mentality: you possess a natural tendency to take initiative and own projects. You feel accountable for the usability and customer experience of everything you design.
