Sr. Product Designer

Job Description

As a Sr. Product Designer, you have a proven track record of strategic thinking that shows they arrive at intelligent decisions.

You are an advocate of user-centered-design principles, with a natural curiosity to understand people, and how they interact with products.

You’re a system-thinker and are passionate about furthering our Design System while leveraging it to ensure consistency across the product suite.

You are a team player who enjoys working and brainstorming with other designers, programmers, and managers.

Sr. Product Designer demonstrates a mastery of our defined design process by showing good judgment and flexibility in applying that process to their work, including developing the process and approach for tackling a problem.

Participates in cross-discipline initiatives, bringing a design voice to the conversation and building trust between the design team and other disciplines.

Visual / Design System : Balances existing visual and UX patterns with platform-specific patterns to ensure a consistent, intuitive experience.

Identifies and flags instances where existing patterns break down in their own work, as well as work done by other designers on that platform.

When diverging from established patterns, identifies, documents and socializes new patterns amongst the design team.

UX Research / Data : Partners with User Research and Data Science throughout the design and development process to run research studies and experiments, analyze the findings and validate potential product changes.

Socializes their learnings with the rest of product development in a thoughtful, articulate way in order to enhance everyone's understanding of our products and users.

Product Thinking : Leads the vision for their product area alongside their product and engineering counterparts. Shapes their team's roadmap and goals by providing input from a user's perspective, and ensures they're pursuing achievable, measurable and impactful goals.

In their design work, regularly references product goals and can speak confidently about how their work relates to the broader product vision and company objectives.
