Senior Product Designer, Data & Analytics

The Team You’ll Work With

Our mission is to enable data-driven decisions and products across Carta by collecting accurate data, building scalable infrastructure and delivering advanced analytics. We believe in building a strong data foundation to ensure data quality and to promote self-service across the company. In addition, the data team works on developing proprietary data products using Carta’s rich and unique dataset. The team works closely with engineering and product management and partners with Cartans across the company to get our work done. We constantly think about how to improve and grow.

The Problems You’ll Solve

As a Product Designer working with the Data & Analytics team, you will:

• Leverage user research, rapid prototyping, and data insights to identify ways to improve the Valuation team’s products and user experiences
• Understand the valuation technology space deeply - e.g. why valuations are important to our users and how they’re leveraged to create a more informed network
• Collaborate across multiple business and cross-functional stakeholders. Valuations is part of our Financial Infrastructure team which empowers many of our other product development teams to include the best valuation technology in their users’ workflows.
• Understand engineering, product, and business requirements that underpin complex, cross-functional initiatives

The Impact You’ll Have

Working with the Valuations and Benchmarking teams offers product designers a unique experience to create simplicity out of confusion and see how data can be leveraged across the entire Carta network for good. You’ll tackle tricky design problems and think through complex interactions to deliver important benchmark information and visualizations to companies, investors, and employees.
