The Role

Job Title: Product Designer

Job Responsibilities:

  • Take briefs from Product Managers and deliver logical, scalable and consistent design work that meet requirements and work within technical constraints. 
  • Help Product Managers and Engineers understand different solutions to problems, educating where necessary on the strengths and benefits to different approaches. 
  • Use your expertise to regularly provide ad hoc design guidance and advice to Engineers. 
  • Contribute to our growing UI kit and ensure greater consistency by using it over time. 
  • Suggest changes to design process in an environment where your opinion will be heard. 
  • Aid Product Managers in feature discovery and design validation. 
  • Take an active role in QA – reviewing implemented work against designs and providing clear feedback to Engineers.

Qualifications:

  • A good blend of visual, UI and UX skills – highly competent using Figma for high-fidelity designs, but equally comfortable sketching out user journeys on a whiteboard. 
  • Experience working on complex enterprise software flows – think dependencies, validation, accessibility and considering edge-cases. 
  • Experience working on an established product – making incremental improvements to a live product with a large user base – not just experience in new products or greenfield features. 

Skills:

  • A team player – prepared to make compromises in the short-term for the better of the team, suggesting and tactically using different deliverables based on timescales and priorities. 
  • A drive to learn and improve, both individually but also for Dayshape and the design function. 
  • Self-assured – happy explaining why design decisions have been made and providing ad hoc feedback and advice to a large Engineering team. 
  • Comfortable presenting and explaining work to both internal and external stakeholders. 
  • Proactive mindset and adaptability – Dayshape is a place where everyone can drive change if they take initiative. 
  • Great at asking awkward questions, kindly.

  • Full-Time
