We’re looking for a dynamic, ambitious Senior Product Designer who can connect the dots between user needs, design patterns, and business goals. You will be joining our team of five passionate product managers and designers who aim to make the world’s creator economy more accessible, inclusive, productive, and successful. Our culture values strong process, data, innovation, flexibility, humility, and collaboration.

As a Senior Product Designer, you’ll be involved in every aspect of the product development process, from brainstorming the next innovative feature to creating high-fidelity designs for launch. You’ll leverage your full range of product design skills and knowledge to solve real problems for our diverse user base. We are rapidly growing our tech team and offerings, and this role presents an exciting opportunity to contribute to the design of new features, verticals, and audiences as we continue to expand.

• Translate user and industry research into holistic design solutions that address user needs as well as business and brand goals.

• Create intuitive, user-centered designs—from wireframes, to prototypes, to beautiful, polished visuals.

• Utilize and evolve our design system to ensure consistency across the platform.

What we’re looking for from you:

• 5 years designing impactful products for a large-scale, consumer-facing platform or two-sided marketplace; experience in the content creator/UGC hiring space is a huge plus.

• Flexible, proactive, autonomous, organized, and able to shift gears quickly in a fast-paced, remote environment.  

• Excellent communication skills; you can articulate UX ideas and concepts clearly, thoroughly, and concisely to product and non-product people alike.

• Experience building and maintaining design system components.

• Solid understanding of information architecture and how to present the best path for users to navigate complex products and interfaces. 

• Expert-level proficiency using Figma.

• Familiarity with using tools like Amplitude, Hotjar, and Maze to make data-driven decisions
