Your Role
Lead the design work on major projects from beginning to end: research, ideation, prototyping, testing, launching, evaluating, and iterating. You’ll use your strong UX and system design skills to ensure we’ve deeply understood the problem space and explored a wide range of possible solutions, then work closely with developers to make these a reality.
Develop a deep understanding of our users and the reasons why they use Planned. You’ll organize and conduct user research and testing sessions, dig into data and previous insights, and work closely with Product Managers.
Collaborate and create a shared understanding across the team. You’ll communicate clearly through documentation and presentations, explaining the rationale for your ideas and the trade-offs involved. You’ll also get others involved by leading workshops to explore problems, generate ideas, and gather feedback.
Level up how we work. Whether through your feedback and mentorship to other designers, or through process changes and collaborating with our product leaders, you’ll strive to improve how we build a great product.
About you
You have experience working on complex productdesign projects, from start to finish, in a startup environment.
You measure the quality of your work by the impact it has on real users.
You have a particular interest in the UX side of product design - research, system/service design, and rapid prototyping.
Comfortable creating flowcharts and user journeys
You enjoy sharing your knowledge and helping everyone grow and improve, perhaps having mentored other designers in the past.
You design products, not just screens, and can zoom out to consider the entire user experience beyond the feature and its interface.
You’re comfortable starting with ambiguity and are happy to get hands on to understand a problem through user research and digging into data.
You facilitate great design: whether that means pairing with developers, running workshops, or working with other designers to improve our processes.
You can balance speed with quality, and prototype at the appropriate fidelity to explore an idea.
You don’t simply work within the confines of what’s given to you but enjoy contributing innovative and creative ideas into product design decisions.
Proven experience building a product in an early stage startup.
