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. 

Work Style:

• Full-Time
• Remote
