Overview:

For the Product Designer role at Slickdeals we seek a passionate and curious individual who will be laser-focused on uncovering user problems and needs through continuous research, creating and testing and iterating on hypotheses and assumptions, generating prototypes and production-ready high fidelity designs. The Slickdeals Product Designer should be a budding strategist, a UX practitioner who can also produce visual designs that have measurable outcomes and deliver emotionally engaging experiences.

What You’ll Do:

• Understand the Slickdeals shopper through research best practices, apply those learnings in your designs, communicate your process to stakeholders, and actively measure the success of your work
• Understand the importance of business requirements, user and market research to assist in developing scenarios, use cases, concepts and prototypes that demonstrate customer value
• Contribute high-level product strategies in collaboration with Senior Product Designers and the larger Product team, and work closely with engineering teams in a fast paced environment with lean iterative cycles
• Design beautiful, simple, innovative, and intuitive experiences that simultaneously delight shoppers and align with the organization's business goals
• Participate in design critiques, gather and give constructive feedback
• Self-manage tasks and autonomously and efficiently deliver design outcomes on deadline

Who You Are:

• A problem solver: Problems are like puzzles to solve for you, and you are always looking to improve experiences. You believe there is a perfect solution to every problem
• Always learning: You are aware that there isn’t such a thing as a perfect solution, and are open to being wrong so that you can iterate and improve on your assumptions and test new hypotheses. You are constantly striving to improve the Slickdeals product even under minimal direction
• Insatiably curious: You are always asking the right questions. You can comfortably admit that you don’t know something, but also be seen searching for the answers to those questions
• Critical thinker: You’re able to think about problems in multiple dimensions and can anticipate and solve for potential design problems and edge cases
• Collaborative: You work fine alone, but you prefer to work with others and believe that you can only become a better designer if you work together with others. You are always looking for ways to improve and seeking feedback from others.
• Adaptive: You can navigate a fast-paced work environment with changing priorities
