What you will do in this role 🤔

As a Product Designer, you will be mainly in charge to:

• Contribute to the shaping of our 2 products by working closely with the 2 related squads (Client Experience & Supervisors Experience) and be in charge for your projects of all our design process phases to create intuitive, clean and modern interfaces

→ The goal is for you to take the reins and potentially own one of the 2 products (Client or Supervisor facing) after a few months in the role.

• Bring your creativity to evolving the branding across the product but also on Growth topics

• Collaborate on building the new design system

To give you more details on our design process…

• Identify the problems that need solving

→ Whatever you’ll be working on, there’ll be a pitch to support it. That pitch’s destiny is to become a brief, but for this to happen, you need to help nurture it (making sure the problem has clear outlines), educate it (brainstorm possible solutions), groom it (design a clean way out of this problem) until it’s ready to leave your constant care and become its very best self (implementation is magical y’all).

• Build a feature from a Pitch (punchline and high-level overview) to Delivery (HQ screens, quick prototypes, specs).

→ Sometimes a Pitch is very clear from the start, sometimes it’s not. One of your responsibilities is to make sure the problem is identified and that you come up with solutions that are viable and make sense.

• Pristine designs that are practical and look nice.

• Quick iterative prototypes (when applicable) to verify that a flow works or to showcase a particular interaction.

→ When design is done, you are the warrant for making sure implementation makes sense. That means writing design specs. That flow you have in your head and for which you built screens (key frames) or even prototypes, well, you need to describe how it works for people who weren’t in your head while you were building it.

→ There’s an order in which things happen in a flow, and you’re the director of that flow. The rest of the team needs to know what your vision is to be able to make it real.

→ There are failsafes, obvious corner cases, exits, back buttons, empty states, mandatory fields, and all that jazz. You probably have planned for all of those, that’s where your ability to describe your plan comes clutch.

• Collaborate with all parties involved to make sure everyone is on the same page and moving towards a common objective. Yes, that means communicating with different types of people at different stages of the design phase.

→ Your fellow teammates have opinions by the million and most assuredly a different point of view. Use them, they cares more than you know.

→ Leadership and vision are shared. You’re the owner of what design you put into the world, which means you have to be able to view that design from different types of perspectives (technical, business, care…) and discuss its ins and outs with the parties involved.

• Help us to implement a consistent look and feel across our desktop and mobile applications

→ There’s branding available, colors, typefaces, icons, ways to do things and so on. What we ship has to be coherent. Seems obvious, but guidelines don’t build design, you do.

Why joining us?
