If you want to make the world a better place, it turns out that parking spaces are a fantastic place to start. Why did you miss that critical appointment? Parking. Why were you stressed and sweating on that first date? Parking.


SpotHero is seeking a Senior Product Designer to lead design for a consumer-facing area. This crucial role will positively impact our business by improving the customer experiences across iOS, Android, and the web and ensure that SpotHero customers continue to use SpotHero for all of their parking needs.


Who we are:  

SpotHero is one of the mobility industry's hottest tech companies, paving the future of parking through innovative technology. As cities ramp back up post-COVID, we're growing our teams, tech, and vision to forge mobility's comeback. Drivers across the nation use the SpotHero mobile app or website to reserve convenient, affordable parking in advance, on the go, or through their connected cars, and parking companies rely on us to help them reach new customers while optimizing their business. We connect the dots with cutting-edge technology and insights, delivering value to both sides of this exciting, evolving marketplace.


Our Product Design Team solves challenging problems every day to create the best experience for our customers. We marry user research—both qualitative and quantitative—with fast-paced execution to form a user, data, and design-centric culture.


What will you do?

  • Create holistic design solutions for our millions of customers that address their needs by considering the entire customer experience.
  • Communicate conceptual ideas, design rationale, and specifics of the user-centered design process within a cross-functional team.
  • Glean insights about our current and future users from qualitative and quantitative research.
  • Design user research and usability studies, collect and react to user feedback.
  • Formulate and test hypotheses based on user research and behavioral analytics.
  • Work directly with your product manager, engineering team, and product design to define UX and UI requirements that create a consistent experience across channels and products.
  • Create user flows, design documentation, prototypes, high-fidelity mocks, and other UX deliverables.
  • Create thoughtful growth experiments through innovative design solutions and test against 3M monthly visitors.
  • Collaborate on our evolving design system.


You:

  • Believe design has a scientific intent, and you can measure your success based on the business value you create.
  • Are a self-starter who actively seeks the "why" in order to make the SpotHero experience easy and enjoyable to use.
  • Know how to navigate through the unknown.
  • Have a deep knowledge and understanding of responsive web design, iOS, and Android best practices
  • Are passionate about user-centered design.
  • Demand a collaborative environment.
  • Embrace iterative development.
  • Are excited to conduct usability tests, talk to users out in the field, A/B test, and then share learnings with the organization.
  • Are a solid communicator possessing strong presentation and verbal & written communication skills.  
  • Exceptionally organized and very comfortable working with engineering and product managers.


What you bring: 

  • 5+ years of professional experience designing web, iOS, and Android applications. 
    • Drivers now can book parking right from their vehicles, so Apple CarPlay and Android Auto is a plus, but not necessary.
  • A portfolio that showcases your design process, thinking, & execution.
  • Solid understanding of the design process, information architecture, usability, heuristics, and designing for accessibility and inclusion.
  • Must have a firm understanding of different UI constructs for responsiveness.
  • Knowledge and efficiency with UI design tools - InVision and Sketch preferred.
  • Ability to meet and communicate deadlines.

There's a lot of collaboration and positive energy throughout the entire day at SpotHero. There are a lot of funny people that work at SpotHero; it's hard to get through the day without a few genuine hearty laughs, which is a really fun way to take a break from being nose deep in a project.

How does the company support your career growth?

There’s so much room to grow at SpotHero. From the very beginning, I was encouraged to think about my career goals and steps I could take towards achieving them. I recently made the transition to a new team, and everyone has been incredibly supportive as I learn a new skill set and look to further grow my career!

Maggie

Digital Marketing Specialist

What is your vision for the company?

I joined SpotHero to contribute to the future of mobility as I imagine walking down the street with my pre-school aged children one day and being able to point out aspects of the mobility ecosystem that I played a role in building. In this vein, I believe SpotHero will emerge as the platform that powers the last quarter mile of mobility.
