Senior Product Designer

At Hive, we're building the leading operations platform for independent commerce. As part of our continued growth, we’re looking for a Senior Product Designer to join the team.

As a Senior Product Designer, you’ll take ownership of key merchant-facing problem areas in our product, partnering closely with PMs and engineers to shape strategy, craft simple solutions to complex problems, and drive business and user outcomes. You’ll be part of a mission focused on helping hundreds of ambitious independent merchants grow their businesses.

In this role, you’ll find ways to make the complex feel simple and build empathy for the challenges our merchants and fulfillment center workers face, ensuring the product puts people first, deliver a best-in-class experience, and — most importantly — is refreshingly simple to use.

What you’ll do:

• Tackle complex design challenges by simplifying user experiences and making our product intuitive and easy to use.

• Lead projects end-to-end — from early concepts and prototypes through to polished, scalable solutions.

• Work closely with Product and Engineering to ship high-quality solutions that solve real problems for merchants and other users.

• Apply systems thinking to balance long-term scalability with MVPs that enable fast learning and iteration.

• Use various methods of research to build a deep understanding of user needs — and design experiences that align with business goals.

• Identify opportunities to improve the product and, where relevant, lead your own initiatives to drive progress.

• Contribute to our design system by reusing components and introducing thoughtful new patterns where needed.

• Share feedback, ideas, and support in design reviews and help foster an inclusive, collaborative design culture.
