Job description

This contractor role is a key position covering a core product during a scheduled maternity leave. We are an industry-leading product that helps brokers market commercial real estate space availability to prospective tenants. The product is both business and consumer-facing, so both B2B and B2C perspectives will apply when creating solutions. You can expect to delve into workflow, communication, and data visualization user problems across responsive web and mobile platforms.

As our Senior Product Designer, you will collaborate with a cross-functional team of product managers, engineers, QA, and business stakeholders to design solutions for our core product. You will work within a dedicated agile squad to conduct research, prototype solutions, and deliver highly tuned customer experiences in 2-6 week cycles, while also being part of our larger design team of 12 UX/UI Design specialists. Our design culture emphasizes mutual support through biweekly design reviews, shared learning, product consistency, and debating global patterns affecting the entire team. Our Product Designers are expected to perform the classic stages of design thinking: problem discovery, exploration, validation of design solutions, measurement, and iteration.

To thrive in this role, you will have:

• Demonstrated experience in product design, human-computer interaction, UX research, or related fields
• Experience launching multiple features and products at different companies, ideally working with product and engineering teams in agile environments
• Skills to be both a leader and a team player, with an appetite for feedback and a desire to influence a growing organization
• Ability to rationalize design decisions with peers and non-design stakeholders alike

Here’s what you’ll be expected to do in this role:

• Quickly ramp up on the commercial real estate domain, focusing on understanding the broker’s journey, pain points, and key problems solved by the Market product
• Partner closely with your product manager, engineers, and QA team members to evaluate and solve complex problems within a culture of teamwork, partnership, and respect
• Be a design leader and provide your teams with deep empathy for our customers’ motivations, goals, and the larger ecosystems they operate within daily. Ground your solutions in human problems and share that understanding with your team whenever possible
• Design solutions that enable our products to work seamlessly together, considering larger application structure and context across various users and permissions
• Promote research methodologies and lead qualitative and quantitative exercises that expand our understanding of the customer and elevate our design practice
