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
