As a Senior Product Designer, you'll tackle complex problems and transform them into intuitive, accessible and easy-to-use designs — from the first-time user to the sophisticated expert. Achieving this goal requires collaboration with teams of Designers, Researchers, Engineers and Product Managers throughout the design process—from creating user flows and wireframes to building user interface mock-ups and prototypes. At each stage, you will anticipate what our users need, advocate for them and ensure that the final product is easy to use and solving their problems.

What you bring to the team

• User Advocacy: Champion the users throughout the design process and prioritize their needs throughout the product development cycle. You are someone who balances user needs with platform constraints while solving complex problems.
• Inspire with Innovation: Brainstorm and conceptualise solutions that set new industry standards and deliver seamless, high-quality end-to-end experiences. You will be a part of a fast-paced team that works across other departments to create inclusive solutions.
• Cross Functional Collaboration: You have a proven ability to work closely with product managers, engineers, marketers, and other stakeholders translating product requirements into functional, user-friendly designs. Being a part of a cross functional team, you are someone who can leverage collaboration methodologies like design workshops and thrive in fast-paced environments to build quality designs that benefits the user.
• Investigator: You question assumptions and clarify requirements throughout the design process. You are a keen observer of user behaviour and can reframe problems to uncover innovative solution spaces while collaborating with your peers. You can think on your feet and come up with realistic trade-offs as the situation requires.

Skills and Qualifications

• Systems Thinking
• Figma Magician: Using Figma is like second nature to you — you breathe autolayouts, frames and responsive design. You have strong proficiency in both UX and visual design, with a demonstrated ability to deliver high quality and organised designs. Expertise in secondary tools like Framer, Principle, Miro, etc is a plus. You have impeccable understanding of various design systems, their components, variables, tokens, and can leverage best practices to your advantage when ideating. But you are courageous enough to break out of the mould when needed.
• Storyteller: Create compelling narratives around design decisions and articulate thinking and solution rationale effectively. Present ideas and strategies clearly to team members and stakeholders, gather feedback before incorporating them in the designs. Build rapport with teams that depend on platform components.

The Essentials

• You bring 5+ years' experience in end-to-end product design, with a robust portfolio showcasing user-centred design solutions that have delivered tangible results. You have an eye for detail, curiosity and growth mindset driving you as a designer.
• Bachelor's degree in computer science, Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Design, or equivalent practical experience.
• Experience in designing for B2B, enterprise, or platform applications is highly desirable, but isn’t strictly necessary.
• Strong proficiency in both UX and visual design, with a demonstrated ability to deliver high-quality designs that meet user needs and business objectives.
