Job summary

Releady is seeking a Senior Product Designer to lead design on a customer-facing product, working across complex systems and usability to make dense permissions feel effortless.

• Translate business requirements, regulatory constraints, and technical dependencies into clear, usable flows
• Map and design for complex states — error handling, permissions, entitlements, edge cases, and the paths customers actually take rather than the happy path alone
• Contribute to and work within the enterprise design system, applying existing patterns consistently and proposing new ones where gaps exist
• Partner with research to plan and participate in usability testing, and fold findings back into the work
• Present design rationale to stakeholders and design leadership, incorporate feedback, and advocate for the customer when requirements and usability pull in different directions
• Participate in design critiques across the broader design organization, both giving and receiving feedback

Job description

OVERVIEW

We're hiring a Senior Product Designer to lead design on a customer-facing product. The work sits at the intersection of complex systems and everyday usability: dense permission models, multi-state workflows, and deep integrations that have to feel effortless to the people using them.

You'll be the design lead on this product, shipping the work end to end while helping shape where it goes next. It suits someone who's comfortable operating independently and holding their own with product, engineering, and business stakeholders.

Rate: $55-60/hour

Contract: 6+ months (approved beyond 6 months to extend - could convert to perm)

QUALIFICATIONS

• Strong communication. You can present, defend a rationale, and push back constructively.
