Senior Product Designer – Data Visualization and Reporting

Do you love bringing data to life?

Are you excited about making data speak through carefully crafted, purpose-driven visualizations and dashboards that allow users to make sense of all the signals headed their way? Then we’d like to hear from you!

About our team

At Productboard, we believe in making products that matter – products that not only solve real-world problems, but also delight their users. To help us with this mission, we’re looking for a driven, inventive senior product designer to join a team focused on helping our customers make sense of the range of inputs that are meeting in our product.

A team of seasoned experience-builders, we know that the happier our team and company, the better our work will be. Ours is a genuine, collaborative team atmosphere, where you can self-realize, build core skills, and move up the design career ladder, whether you’re into management or want to stick with the IC track. Interested? Let us know!

You’ll be joining a company where people matter and make an impact, just like you will. 

What you’ll do in a typical week

• Work closely in a cross-functional team to ensure our reporting and all its parts are enabling our customers in their sense-making, and are beautifully crafted 
• Lead discovery and design activities for reporting initiatives, joining forces with a product manager and a tech lead to understand customer needs and shape solutions.
• Design, prototype, and document data visualization patterns
• Work with designers and engineers to evolve visualization patterns, giving and receiving feedback in design critiques and conversations
• Pair-design with designers from different teams to see how you can improve each other’s work
• Evaluate what you've shipped, and drive working in improvements
• Collaborate with our UX writers to uphold our product’s voice, and evolve content guidelines for reporting and presenting data
• Participate in wider design team initiatives (workshopping, expanding the design system, improving tooling, mentoring designers, hiring)

About you

• You’ve designed a lot of UIs, have a deep knowledge of interaction patterns, and can deliver high-quality work
• You’ve worked on data visualizations in products before, or have plenty of practice with metrics and product analytics, making sense of them.
• You’re a systemic thinker who can turn complex design problems into intuitive user experiences
• You communicate clearly and build relationships easily
• You don’t hesitate to own and drive projects, and comment on processes
• You seek feedback to grow and give feedback candidly and with empathy in turn
• You can come to our London or Prague office at least twice a week. (If you’re currently far from both, we can help you move closer.)

Bonus points for…

• Names like Tufte, Bertin or Cairo don’t sound foreign to you. (No need to agree with all they said and wrote.)
• Experience in a B2B SaaS organization with a mature product design practice

Don’t tick off every single bullet? Don’t worry, this is our dream list. If you’ve got potential, we’ll help you grow.

A peek into our world

From the outside, it can be tough to imagine what working here is like. That’s why we asked  Cocuma to help. Their impartial view gives potential starters a good look inside our company.

What designers at Productboard say

“What I love most about Productboard is our customer-centricity, and the daily opportunity to work on challenging problems with incredibly smart people. Our collaboration culture is really strong, both within the team and across product teams, resulting in great outcomes. This is rewarding in itself and definitely not just “work” – we always find time to laugh, eat, or grab a beer together.”

– Michaela Bartkova, Senior Product Designer, 1 year on board

“The design team is the reason I joined: it’s well structured, full of talented professionals to learn from, and most importantly we have a very rich feedback culture. I stay, because the company is product-focused and gives design the importance it truly has.”

– Julia Rosich, Product Designer, 3 years on board

“I think Productboard is a lot more than a product company, although it does that pretty well too. For me, it's more of a community of people who are like-minded, passionate, and growth-oriented. It’s an environment that gives me challenges, supports me, and enables me to grow and self-realize. I think that's the ultimate goal. To self-realize through work. Why else would you be doing it?”

– Filip Zajic, Design Intern, 9 months on board
