✨ One platform, a whole world of opportunity

Right now, the best jobs are limited to people in a handful of the world’s wealthiest cities, yet brilliant people are everywhere. Driven to overturn the status quo and distribute opportunities equally around the world, Oyster launched its global employment platform to help companies hire, pay, and care for talent anywhere.

When it comes to global employment, we walk the walk. We’re proof that companies don't need an office to create a highly-engaged culture. Since the company’s inception in January 2020, Oyster has:

? Created a fully-distributed, vibrant team of 500+ employees across 60+ countries

? Established a diverse leadership team and an employee base that’s 60% female

? Achieved one of the highest employee engagement scores in its class

? Raised $150 million in Series C funding at a valuation of over $1 billion!

Our momentum speaks to the power of global employment—and we’re just getting started! If you want to change the world with Oyster and be empowered to work remotely while doing so, we’d love for you to apply!

Location: While this position is posted in a specific location, all of Oyster’s positions are fully remote and you can work from home. Forever. To create the best experience for our new hire (you?!) this role does require that you are based within +3 / -3 UTC

?‍? The Role

At Oyster HR we are increasing the size of our engineering teams. Every team is dedicated to one area of our product (e.g. payments, hiring, People operations, etc.) We’re looking for two more experienced product designers to lead our design efforts and help our Product Managers to define the vision, product strategy, and user experience for one of these product areas.

You’ll be joining our product design team. We are 12 designers: 7 Product Designers, 2 UI Designers, 2 UX Researchers, and a Head of Product Design. We are expecting to grow even more in the future.

What you'll do…

Work closely with engineers, product managers, and product owners to support the long-term strategy and short-term tactics for the product.
Work closely with our Head of Product Design to develop and expand product design systems and principles.
Sometimes work on very broadly defined, loose concepts, and sometimes on narrowly defined, tactical deliverables.
Focus on what you do best, while also having the opportunity to improve the skills you’re looking to develop or learn new ones.
Work in a highly collaborative fashion with the design, product, and engineering teams
Be involved in our user research initiatives and support ongoing research projects.
Participate actively as a member of the Product design team to help improve and mature our company’s product design overall.

What we're looking for

You have 3+ years of relevant product design experience in tech, product-driven company
A portfolio that showcases your best work. We won't consider applications without a portfolio.
You are an advocate of design principles and methods.
You are resolutely customer-focused; recognizing the importance of truly understanding what matters to customers.
You have an appreciation for data-informed design
You are a team player. You love to collaborate and help the organization with energy and enthusiasm.
You are proficient in using design and prototyping tools like Figma, Sketch, Invision, Balsamiq, Marvel or similar.
You seek opportunities to learn and grow your hard and soft skills through feedback and self-reflection.
You have good communications skills and are comfortable with communicating product and technical concepts to a sometimes non-technical audience.

You'll also need...

You are fluent in both written and spoken English.
A reliable home internet connection (or be able to get one).

Nice to have:

Fast-growing startup experience
Experience with HR tech or other relevant SaaS industries
Some personal experience of the challenges of working internationally with the desire for remote work
