Role Description
We are looking for a Product Designer to join our Professional team to focus on creation solutions that will empower Creative Professional, as well as other Professionals like teachers, lawyers, accountants, and contractors, to do their most inspired work centered around the content they create. In the short term, the Professional team is experimenting on different ways to bring value to the Professional through end-to-end workflows, learning what makes them zing, and connecting the tools they use to Dropbox so they can crush their day-to-day from one place.
This role is best suited for a Product Designer who is energized by executing on UI and UX. We’re looking for a designer who spikes in generating solutions, building holistic feature experiences, prototyping for usability testing, and shipping high quality experiences that delight our customers.
In this role, you will flex your interaction design, visual design, solution generation and design process in general. You will stretch into the Dropbox Core organization and collaborate with multiple partners to bring the vision to life. You will also have the opportunity to expand on the vision, validate direction, and find new and exciting ways to bring value to our customer.
This role is special because it is focused on bringing value directly to the Creative Professional by creating new value, as well as collaborating across the company and bringing the value that other teams are creating to the Creative Professional.
Lastly, you’ll be a part of more than just the Professional team — you will be part of Dropbox design. You will learn from, and give back to, some of the best designers around the globe.
