Lead Product Designer
We are seeking an experienced Lead Product Designer to join our team. As a key member of our design department, you will be responsible for defining and leading the design experiences across three core products-web and mobile.
* You will take ideas from concept to completion.
* Conduct and manage full research process from planning and scheduling to execution and synthesis.
* Lead usability testing sessions, gather feedback and information to vet and refine designs.
This role requires a strong bias for action and scrappy attitude toward the product development process-flexibility and willingness to pivot are keys to success in this fast-paced environment.
You will work closely with engineers to ensure designs are feasible, scope appropriately, and account for edge cases and error states. Your ability to communicate effectively and collaborate is crucial.
Requirements
* A minimum of 4 years of experience in Product/UX Design.
* Fluent in English.
* First and foremost, you are a problem solver and learner, and you have good taste in visual design.
* Strong portfolio with concrete examples of designing and shipping complex web or mobile interfaces.
* Strong proficiency with Figma with the ability to translate requirements and ideas into simple design solutions.
Work Expectations
The team is distributed but generally located in North and South America (United States and Brazil). Work hours are flexible, but there are regular meetings you'll be expected to attend. The expectation is to be available to collaborate during general daytime hours.
The team relies heavily on Figma, Slack, Linear, and Notion for collaboration. Though the role is full-time, you will be paid as a contractor.
About the Interview Process
* Please apply with your LinkedIn profile and/or resume. Please include a portfolio link.
* Asynchronous portfolio review: Create a 15-minute video walking through a relevant project that demonstrates your skills and experience related to the role.
* Project: Spend 2 hours on a small project. You will be given product context and asked to come up with low-fidelity designs for a user experience that would address the problem. You will present your project during a 1-hour interview with leadership.
