Hi there!

We’re looking for a Senior Product Designer who embraces a fast-paced environment to join our Enterprise product team. You will partner closely with product and engineering partners to provide observability and reporting capabilities for our top customers. You’ll shape vision, validate direction, and execute rapidly to deliver a powerful experience to customers.

About You

  • You optimize for speed of learning. You constantly search for signals from users. You understand how to synthesize insights and translate them into actionable plans. You communicate what you learn with your team and work with teammates to iterate on solutions.
  • You thrive when presented with the unknown. The bigger the problem, the bigger your resolve. You stay focused on optimizing outcomes regardless of the many paths that could lead to it. You have experience working in a fast-paced environment that demands quick thinking and fast action.
  • You excel in leading with vision and executing incrementally. You seamlessly shift between creating a compelling North Star vision of a complex platform-wide project and break it down into detailed delivery to motivate the team toward an exciting future and guide them to ship quickly to optimize the speed of impact.
  • Excellent visual and UX interaction design skills, and ability to contribute to our design system.
  • You excel in spearheading platform-wide initiatives. You thrive on projects that span the entire product suite. You’re a system thinker, strategically connecting different parts of the product to form a unified user experience.
  • You’re a natural facilitator and excellent at driving collaboration across the org. You bring cross-team stakeholders and designers together, plan and lead workshops, design sprints, design jams, and discussions, balancing multiple viewpoints and driving strategic alignment to achieve objectives.
  • You are self-directed and result-driven. You effectively manage your workload, priorities and timelines. You proactively identify opportunities, create plans, and co-own team goals and roadmaps with cross-functional partners. You measure success, improve processes and escalate projects when at risk.
  • You bring user goals and business value together. You consider yourself a product designer and can point to work that you’ve done that helped scale the business and created user value. You understand how great design brings the two together.
  • You’re a natural storyteller and a great communicator. Zapier is 100% remote, so impactful communication – visual, written, demo, and presentation – is crucial to communicating design work and collaborating with your teammates.
  • You love design critique, and share your work early and often. One of Zapier’s values is Growth Through Feedback and this applies to our design work too! You are comfortable working in the open, and love seeking feedback on your work frequently to learn, validate and iterate.

  • Request feedback from the broader Product Design team and other teammates around Zapier through asynchronous or synchronous communication.
