BioRender is hiring a
Senior Product Designer

Summary

The job is for a Product Designer at BioRender, a company that provides graphics communication tools for scientists. The role involves understanding user behavior, designing user experiences, partnering with cross-functional teams, contributing to product strategy, and being part of the design team.

Requirements

• You’ve built simple user experiences in a complex domain where the user is not necessarily the domain expert (think TurboTax for taxes)
• You have experience designing scalable user experiences and design systems that support a wide array of functionality and can be easily extended as requirements change and number of features grows
• You’ve owned the end-to-end user experience for an entire product. You have experience developing, launching and iterating a highly ambiguous and broad product surface area that may take multiple months to get adoption
• You’re driven by insatiable user-obsession to understand our users and customers, and design technical products that drive business outcomes
• You're experienced in leading user research, covering planning, execution, and synthesis to identify the best next steps for optimizing product success

Responsibilities

• Become an expert on our users, their usage behaviors, and scientists’ typical research workflows
• Own the end-to-end user experience across the Graphing product and how it integrates with the rest of the BioRender product suite
• (1) Talk to users and obsess over user feedback and usage data of beta users to design user experiences that will create raving fans
• (2) Partner with Product and Data Science to determine what will make BioRender Graphing a critical part of industry scientists' software stack
• (3) Proactively seek, facilitate, and apply feedback from customers, engineers and cross-functional partners to iterate on designs and foster a culture of design collaboration within your team
• (4) Determine if and when product areas or information architecture need to be revisited to achieve long-term success and evaluate the cost-benefit of those tough decisions
• Contribute to the overall product strategy at BioRender. Consistently reevaluate the roadmap based on user behaviour, feedback, industry trends, company objectives and product strategy
• Be an active member of the BioRender Design team to critique and drive continuous evolution of the overall design of our product, design system, and design practices

Preferred Qualifications

• Background in statistics or data science is a plus. At least statistics or math does not intimidate you. You will not need to be an expert in statistics and will partner with a data scientist, but statistics is a core part of the product and user research, so you will need to be comfortable with learning about users’ scientific statistical workflows and simplifying their experience
• Science background is a plus but not required!

Benefits

• We are mission-driven, and work collaboratively towards our shared vision of improving scientific communication and accelerating scientific discovery: BioRender figures have appeared in more than 54,000 publications!
• It’s a product that users love! We have a world-class NPS and a community of loyal fans
• We are in the top quartile for profitability and year-over-year revenue growth, with users in 200+ countries
• BioRender is an equal opportunity employer, and an inclusive hiring process and work environment is a part of our DNA
• We’re remote-first and have team members across Canada and the United States. A physical office in Toronto is available, but you have the flexibility to work from anywhere
• We’re backed by top investors, accelerators, and some of the most successful life science entrepreneurs and philanthropists in the world including Y Combinator, Malala Fund founders, and Fifty Years VC
• We are committed to building a warm, inclusive, and diverse environment. Check out how we make sure our employees come first
