Lead Product Designer, New Products

Role Description

The Dash team is on a mission to organize workflows. We are building a daily-use productivity tool that automatically organizes an individual and teams’ content and context. We want to help customers instantly find what they need and take action—across any ecosystem and device.

As a Lead Designer on OTC (Organize the Cloud), you will play a key role in bringing Dash to enterprise customers. Your team will own creating the IT Admin tooling and experiences, and help them bring our new AI-product to their users. 

You’ll collaborate closely with all other teams across OTC to craft seamless end-to-end journeys that touch almost every aspect of the Dash and Dropbox experience. You’ll also play a key role in defining processes, teaching best practices, and elevating the craft bar across the Dash design team, both by mentoring other designers and by being a thought partner with the design manager.

Responsibilities

• Setting direction for the product: driving product-market-fit exploration and longer term strategies for a 0-1 product.
• Plan and design features for IT Admins that give them the control they need to safely and responsibly deploy, use, and get value from AI-powered tools to hundreds and thousands of users on their team
• Guiding the immediate development process: planning roadmaps with your PM partner and partnering closely with engineers.
• Running design sprints or related exercises to quickly synthesize insights, iterate on solutions, and evaluate with regular customer contact throughout.
• Executing detailed and thorough designs accounting for edge cases and technical constraints.
• Socializing and collaborating on your work—with your immediate team, in addition to more broadly across Dropbox.
• Mentoring members of our team in methods, craft, communication, and socialization.

Requirements

• 5+ years of UX-related work experience, with 1+ year of experience in a 0→1 environment (leading projects from discovery through shipping/iteration).
• Steadfast empathy for our users, a burning curiosity in their lives and problems
• Excellent interaction design and visual craft skills including some experience with prototyping.
• Demonstrated skills for collaborating closely with other designers, researchers, product managers, and engineers across organizational boundaries.
• Ownership mindset with a bias towards action, helping to drive teams and projects forward.
• Prior experience designing for rich Web apps. Experience designing for mobile apps is preferred but not required.
• Culture builder with excitement around building trusting and collaborative environments
• Clear, compelling presentation and communication style
