Senior Visual Product Designer (all genders)

THE ROLE & THE TEAM

The Studio is a dynamic team of UX all-rounders who make future strategy tangible through design. While every team member is unique, our collective superpower lies in our ability to chart a path and provide clarity on highly ambiguous and complex challenges. We tailor our approach for each project to uncover opportunities that strengthen our customer and partner relationships, then craft innovative solutions to tackle them. Through our design artifacts, we make strategy and vision tangible.

We are seeking a highly skilled Senior Product Designer who excels in visual design, craft, and art direction. You are passionate about pushing the boundaries of what’s possible, designing and delivering exceptional customer experiences that are both functional and visually compelling. You are a master of design systems, yet you understand when and how to evolve and extend a system to meet new challenges. You have a keen eye for detail and an appreciation for how motion design, art direction, or illustration can elevate the overall experience. You use visual storytelling to engage stakeholders and excite them about what’s possible. You engage users through delightful design, guiding them through intuitive interactions, and create memorable moments.

You will partner with stakeholders, engineers, and other designers to ensure our solutions are deeply rooted in user insights and aligned with business strategy. You will actively participate in product and strategy discussions, foster multidisciplinary thinking, and identify opportunities that drive change. Your ability to balance strategic vision with hands-on execution will be critical to your success. You should be comfortable across the full spectrum of the product design process, from leading research efforts to crafting high-fidelity UI and interaction patterns.

WHAT WE’D LOVE YOU TO DO (AND LOVE DOING)

• A bar raiser in visual design, from the apps you design to how you craft stories to tell about them.
• Lead design strategy initiatives, shaping the future direction of products and services.
• Turn complex challenges into clear, structured opportunities, providing clarity and direction.
• Prototype and visualize strategy, using design artifacts to align stakeholders and drive decision-making.
• Drive innovation and experimentation, exploring new approaches, tools, and methodologies.
• Push the boundaries of visual design, working with our design system but also identifying moments to create new components or styles.
• Comfort with art direction or motion design to bring visuals to life is a strong plus.
• Foster multidisciplinary collaboration, ensuring that diverse perspectives contribute to impactful solutions.
• Advocate for human-centered design, ensuring that solutions are not only visionary but also meaningful to customers.

WE’D LOVE TO MEET YOU IF

• Set a high bar for craft and visual excellence, ensuring designs are both aesthetically and functionally best-in-class.
• Excel at visual storytelling of our products, infusing brand personality and emotional resonance.
• You prototype interactions and animations to refine usability and enhance engagement.
• You collaborate to craft remarkable solutions: You’ve designed and delivered outstanding customer experiences by partnering with stakeholders and collaborating with fellow designers. You challenge the status quo to create solutions that stand out.
• You love multidisciplinary thinking: You’re passionate about solving complex problems by generating multiple potential solutions, driving change, and exploring new product areas with both creativity and precision.
• You’re hands-on and strategic: Whether you’re sketching user flows, wireframing, or designing high-fidelity interaction patterns, you dive deep into design execution. At the same time, you think strategically, creating visionary customer experiences, defining design principles, and driving design R&D.
• Collaborate closely with product managers, engineers, or other designers. As a central design team, our partners vary depending on the project. You are excited to build new relationships with collaborators as you go.
• You thrive in creative and ambiguous environments: You’re comfortable working on “blue sky” projects, balancing big-picture thinking and creativity, while bringing those ideas down to earth into actionable first steps that make a tangible impact. You know when to apply design thinking and when to refine pixels with attention to detail.

WHY JOIN US?

• Work in a design-driven innovation lab, where experimentation and bold ideas are encouraged.
• Collaborate with a highly talented, cross-functional team that values strategic design and facilitation.
• Tackle complex, forward-thinking challenges that require creativity and systemic thinking.
• Shape the future of design strategy within a company that values user-centered thinking.

If you're passionate about tackling complex design challenges, collaborating in a dynamic team environment, and turning strategy into actionable design, we’d love to meet you!
