Senior Product Designer

This role is a unique opportunity for a Senior Product Designer to join our forward-thinking culture at Capdesk from Carta. We’re creating a global product that’s changing how people build and share the success of great ideas through equity.

About the role

Our product designers play a fundamental role in defining what products we build and how we build them. As a Senior Product Designer, you’ll lead the product design of one of our squads, ensuring that we build valuable products for people with the highest level of quality from ideation to craft execution.

Together with your cross-functional partners, you’ll decide the direction of your team and own every initiative you deliver in a healthy ratio of 1:5 designer to engineer. 

This is a remote role. Currently, we’re able to accept applications from the following countries: UK, Denmark & Brazil. However, this is reviewed on a regular basis and we’ll update accordingly.

Your responsibilities will be to:

• Lead the product design function of your cross-functional squad and contribute to shaping your team’s vision and product strategy.
• Design experiences that solve complex problems in a simple, elegant and scalable fashion.
• Take a leading role in defining, collecting and analysing the necessary data to inform your decisions and ensure that you can measure the success of your work.
• Translate intricate financial data and flows into clear and concise user-facing experiences.
• Contribute to our design system with new designs that improve its brand alignment, visual quality and efficiency.
• Build strong relationships with your cross-functional partners and leaders inside and outside the product department.
• Drive and support design operations initiatives that further improve our design practice and collaboration across functions and teams.

About you, these are the skills and experience we’re looking for:

Must-haves:

• 5+ years of experience shipping great product design in cross-functional teams.
• Excellent visual and interaction design craft.
• Experience contributing to the definition and execution of user research initiatives and effectively analysing the results to inform product and design decisions.
• Constant appetite for growth. You’re humble and self-aware, and use it to improve your design practice and your understanding of the industry.
• Seek to understand people’s context, needs, motivations and behaviours and how they align with our business objectives in order to create relevant solutions.
• Ability to leverage collaboration. You understand your cross-functional partners and know how to reach stronger outcomes through collaboration.
• Experience designing for complex B2B systems
• Creative problem-solving. You master design patterns and industry standards but know when to break the status quo and solve unique problems with divergent creative thinking.
• Love thinking big and, at the same time, can accurately scope your work into progressive value increments.
• Strong storytelling, presentation and communication skills to influence decision-makers.

Nice-to-haves:

• Experience defining product strategy in collaboration with other functions.
• Experience using and contributing to a robust design system.
• Experience operationalising product design and cross-functional processes.
• Strong content design skills and experience delivering impact through content.
• Strong high-fidelity prototyping skills.
