Overview

As a senior member of the design team, reporting into the VP of Product, you will be a key contributor to defining the face and future of our global B2B and B2B2C enterprise software solutions. And you will be a key player in the extraordinary growth of our product and our company.

As an experienced design professional, you understand that design vs performance, aesthetic vs function, and creativity vs predictability are far from mutually exclusive pairings, but are instead the harmonies that make for a world-class, cutting edge product experience. You are an expert at facilitating and executing those harmonies, and you excel at doing your work in a fast-paced environment, on intellectually demanding solutions.

Alongside our Product Managers, and in tight co-ordination with the Engineering team, Product Designers are a central part of the creation process. You share responsibility for discovering and defining problems, and then empathically defining and designing solutions. The skills you have range from untangling technical challenges to applying the principles of human-centered design.

The ideal candidate enjoys and excels at working iteratively and collaborating with product managers, developers, testers and company leadership to create the best experiences for customers. You thrive in circumstances of uncertainty because it unleashes your most creative instincts, but you never lose sight of the need for standards and scalability. Your execution skills are just as sharp as your research skills, as you deliver a steady stream of wireframes, mockups, and prototypes to validate ideas and drive delivery at the highest standards.

Above all else you are passionate about software products and product design, satisfying users, and delivering amazing, innovative experiences.
