Job description

Who we're looking for:
You're known for your well-honed design skills and talent for leading teams through design projects. You're the glue between design, engineering, and product. You own a project from start to finish - solving design challenges while inspiring others through your work and collaboration. You're also growing your leadership skills by being a mentor to other designers.

Who you'll work with:
The Consumer & Enterprise Tools Team is driving the transformation of our product creation capabilities that fuel consumer-led product pipeline. This team is responsible for the digital product design for innovation-to-commercialization platforms used by our merchandising, design, and development teammates - obsessing over efficient workflows with data, insights, and automation. As a key member of this team, you'll report to the Design Director of Consumer Products & Innovation Tools within Digital Product Design.

What your responsibilities will be:

• Thinking big, innovating, and driving design execution across a complex product domain, taking ownership of large, ambiguous initiatives.
• Designing incredibly polished work that represents the brand and product experience through wireframes, visual comps, flows, and prototypes.
• Inspiring new ways of thinking and exploring the unknown using fresh approaches to design problems while applying your knowledge of standard methodologies and user-centered design principles to build simple, beautiful, and seamless workflows.
• Developing design solutions using participatory and iterative techniques including user interviews, observation, usability testing, validation, and design thinking brainstorms and workshops.
• Rapidly iterating and refining design concepts - from initial briefing through final delivery.
• Mentoring and providing helpful feedback to fellow designers and interns to uplevel their craft and skills.
• Evangelizing the brand and driving initiatives that strengthen design culture internally.

What you bring:

• 8+ years of relevant experience with end-to-end digital product design with proven experience in visual design and UX.
• A bachelor's degree or any combination of education, training, and experience in design, UX/UI design, human-computer interaction, or a related field.
• Strong understanding of product thinking, interaction design, data science, experimentation, and execution (expert in one or more areas).
• Hands-on creative and systems thinker with strong UX/UI/IA design expertise.
• Demonstrated user-centric design approach and insights-based design process.
• Proven collaborator with product managers, engineers, writers, researchers, and marketers.
• Strong design process; ability to contribute new processes or enhancements to cross-functional teams.
• Experience working with consumer research and data.
• Impeccable attention to detail.
• Exceptional time management skills - providing accurate estimations and often helping the team deliver early.
• Ability to influence or create design patterns or standards that are adopted by other teams.
• Highly proficient with design and prototyping tools such as Figma, Adobe CC, Principle, and Keynote.
• Cross-platform design experience (enterprise platforms, web, Android, iOS, email, etc.), and ability to approach problems from the consumer perspective - internal or external.
• Ability to communicate a vision for the work in a way others can relate to and buy into.
• Ability to establish a holistic look and feel between all pieces of a large project.
• Experience launching software at scale in a fast-paced product organization.
• Passion for the brand, sport, and for creating high-quality work.
• A fascination with innovation and technology and a solid understanding of digital tools and trends.

The target hiring compensation range for this role is $54.60 to $60.67 an hour. Compensation is based on several factors including, but not limited to education, relevant work experience, relevant certifications, and location.
