Senior Product Designer

About the role

This role involves leading the entire design process for key product areas, from initial research and discovery to prototyping, testing, and final implementation across both mobile and web platforms. The Senior Product Designer is expected to actively partner with Product Managers and Engineers early in the development cycle to define problems, explore potential solutions, and influence the overall product roadmap, rather than just executing pre-defined tasks.

This requires a strong focus on delivering intuitive and high-quality user experiences. The designer will champion customer understanding by utilizing both qualitative and quantitative insights to ensure design decisions are grounded in real user needs.

Success in this role also means contributing to the evolution of the company's design systems, ensuring consistency across all platforms, including app, web, and marketing materials. The Senior Product Designer will play a part in elevating the overall design quality, refining processes, and fostering collaboration across different teams, while also contributing to a strong design culture through feedback and shared ideas.

The base salary for this role starts at $111,111 USD, with the potential for additional compensation.
