Senior Product Designer - REMOTE

We're webuild, a digital product design agency made up of passionate designers, doers, and strategists from many different cultures and backgrounds. Our passion is helping entrepreneurs succeed through meaningful collaboration and leveraging the power of user-driven design. Our company is based out of sunny San Diego, California, although our entire team is remote and spans the globe.

We’re looking for a driven, experienced Product Designer to work collaboratively with our team and clients to execute on a variety of web &mobile app projects.

What does the Senior Product Designer do?

At webuild, we only work with clients that have a digital product whether it be a dashboard, web-app and/or mobile app. Given our emphasis on product, the product designer needs to be able to craft a great user experience and pair it with stunning interface design.

The role of the product designer is to help our clients achieve their business goals through design. Some days that might mean designing a new app feature, or a new user flow. Other days it might be creating marketing assets: designing a landing page to encourage free trial sign ups or ads to drive app downloads.

We’re looking for someone who can straddle both product/marketing worlds with ease. Someone who feels comfortable designing the core product experience, as well as the promotional assets to bring that product to the masses.

The Product Designer should be comfortable with all aspects of the design lifecycle: discovery, exploration, design, prototyping, user-testing, iteration, and development hand-off.

Responsibilities

Conduct discovery and ask questions. Seek to understand the overall product vision and core objectives
Research the landscape and learn about competitors in the market and what their user experiences and interfaces look/feel like
Gather inspiration and create moodboards to get alignment from clients
Create initial wireframes or low-fidelity versions of the user flow and experience
Regularly present your work to clients for review and feedback
Create high-fidelity, visually stunning, designs including various states such as hover states, success messages, error alerts, loading gifs, empty states, and more
Openly receive feedback, both internally and externally, and execute rounds of revisions based on feedback
Give and solicit feedback from other designers in order to continually improve our bar for quality
Continue to revise and iterate based on stakeholder and user feedback as well as quantitative data
Design responsive landing pages and marketing assets/collateral for the products we’re co-creating with our clients
Create design systems with reusable components to improve overall efficiency and consistency across projects
Work on internal design projects to improve and elevate the webuild brand
Work with Product Managers and others to help define product requirements
Be a strong voice in evolving the product design workflow to best meet the goals of the client
Apply your design thinking and execution skills throughout the entire product lifecycle
Collaborate with Product and Marketing leadership to drive strategy
Collaborate and share your expertise with other designers and stakeholders and facilitate knowledge sharing across projects
Document design guidelines and actively share knowledge with your team
Communicate with engineering how the interface should look/behave by documenting specific notes on layouts, animations, and interactions
Work closely with engineers throughout the implementation stage to ensure a high level of quality
