Senior Product Designer, Public Company Experience

The Team You’ll Work With

You will be working with a diverse team of designers, product managers, and engineers in a team that is responsible for product offerings for public companies at Carta. Carta's public product presents an opportunity to serve an increasing shift in the appetite of private companies to go public. We believe that with an amazing public company experience we will streamline the experience for Carta's private companies as they go public, provide access to liquidity and match their wealth management needs with Carta services. We are a humble, collaborative team that is passionate about solving difficult problems by helping users navigate through the complexity of an IPO.

The Problems You’ll Solve

Through customer insights and competitive analysis, we know that our current public company product is missing critical functionality and a defined UX strategy, forcing existing customers to evaluate other competitors when they go public. In 2022, the public markets team is putting our focus on building missing features, elevating our participant experience, and building an amazing customer experience to retain our largest companies on the Carta Public platform. The design team collaborates with our product and engineering teams to develop and build customer-facing workflows that drive interaction with our transaction platform as well as help define requirements for complex, large-scale initiatives. We have a wide spectrum of users who range in equity IQ, hence crafting user-focused experiences is a key focus of our team. 

Additionally you will:

• Partner with Product, Engineering, and Data to uncover customer insights and influence strategy to help define and execute the roadmap
• Collaborate closely with Design and Product Leadership to define a vision and contribute to the overall direction of the product
• Design concept models, screen flows, prototypes, sketches, and testing for your design work
• Participate in design workshops and other methods to act as a mentor for junior designers
• Design to consistently scale and leverage shareable components for web and application
• Envision mobile and browser based experiences across multiple customer types
