Senior Product Designer

Summary

Join Quartzy as a Senior Product Designer and contribute to shaping new features for our web and mobile applications. This remote role offers the opportunity to significantly impact our growing product organization. You will lead by connecting user insights with company goals, conducting user research, and collaborating with various teams. You'll be responsible for the entire design lifecycle, from initial concepts to implementation, and will work within an agile environment. The ideal candidate possesses extensive product design experience, particularly with B2B SaaS products, and excels in communication and collaboration.

Requirements

• 7+ years of product design experience
• English Fluency: most of our teams and customers are based in the United States
• The ability to work in a start-up environment: you work well in short design sprints and can be flexible with occasional shifts in priority
• A strong understanding of design principles that include an affinity for consistency, color-use, typography, and a keen eye for subtle details, but an understanding of when to make trade-offs to ensure business targets are achieved
• Experience, or at least familiarity with, running user research campaigns that dig into user goals and points of friction
• An exceptional communicator: you share your design thinking by stating upfront the design goals and user flows you are solving for. You can verbalize why certain choices were made and the pros/cons of any alternatives you considered
• An open mind: You take feedback without defensiveness and will incorporate others’ perspectives if they make sense
• A bias for action: you like to move quickly, and are always iterating on ideas
• An ownership mentality: you possess a natural tendency to take initiative and own projects. You feel accountable for the usability and customer experience of everything you design

Responsibilities

• Conduct user research in collaboration with product management
• Take ownership of the full design lifecycle for new features and product improvements, from initial concept to implementation
• Create and iterate wireframes, prototypes, and high-fidelity designs that communicate functionality and intent effectively
• Work with multidisciplinary teams in an agile environment, to design and build efficient solutions within technical and time constraints
• Articulate design decisions to stakeholders, highlighting benefits, tradeoffs, and impact on user experience, business objectives, and timelines
• Participate in design critiques to ensure high standards and consistency across Quartzy products
• Regularly use, improve, and contribute to Quartzy’s Design System

Preferred Qualifications

• Prior product design experience of B2B SaaS products is a huge plus
• A design stack expert: Fluency in Figma, Zeplin, Miro, or other design, collaboration, and prototyping tools. Ability to understand and/or write HTML / CSS is a nice bonus
