Product Designer (Independent Contractor)

Getting together with real people in real life makes powerful things happen. Side hustles become careers, ideas become movements, and chance encounters become lifelong connections. Meetup brings people together to create thriving communities. Show up. Change lives.

As Product Designer, you will invent new ways of connecting people to the communities and activities that they love. If you're someone who is passionate about developing strategies based on insights from real people and can turn those insights into beautifully designed prototypes and products, both interactions and visuals, then this may be the role for you.

What you'll do:

• Be an experienced designer as part of a cross-functional product team helping to ship features across native mobile and web platforms (research, wireframes, prototypes, flows, detailed design specs, managing the visual QA and implementation process)
• Be autonomous - you'll take full ownership of your work and you take responsibility for every detail each step of the way
• Inspire what's possible by quickly producing multiple concepts, knowing when to apply attention to detail and when to make low-fi sketches and prototypes
• Communicate clearly to present your work at different stages
• Ability to think long and short-term to meet the constraints of a continuous release process while iterating toward a future vision
• Work closely with product and engineering teams to execute short and long term projects
• Build a deep understanding of Meetup's design systems, inter-dependencies, and product roadmap as well as our product development process

Who you are:

• You have 4-7 years of experience designing at consumer-focused tech or media companies across responsive web, native mobile apps is a plus
• You're an excellent communicator and can clearly articulate your design decisions
• You have a user- and data-focused design mentality and are constantly looking to sharpen your instincts through user feedback and data insight
• You have the ability to think at a high level about product strategy and vision
• You have experience in building and shipping applications or software
• You have a portfolio featuring examples of interaction design work backed data driven decisions
• You are interested in a 3-6 month contract to join Meetup's design team with the potential to extend or convert to full-time

Our team is bold, supportive, and passionate about bringing people together in real life to create community for everyone.  We care about moving fast, real-world change and building diverse, dynamic teams. You in?
