What You’ll Be Doing

As a Lead Product Designer, you know what it takes to launch beautiful, commercially successful products and have an inspirational portfolio that demonstrates a storied background in digital design. There is a possibility of extending the contract to a full-time position.

You’re an experienced designer with several years of experience under your belt. You naturally take a lead role in setting creative direction, establishing project objectives and leading others to get the job done.

Many senior designers want to step up and have a bigger impact on their projects, but don’t want to manage. That’s ok. For this role, we’re looking for designers who just want to design. We’ll give you the space you need to get your head down and deliver the best work of your career.

• You’ll be involved in all stages of the product design and development process – from initial strategy, through to conceptualization, high-fidelity, build, launch and marketing
• Your work inspires the team - our Leads help raise the bar for design at Fueled through the quality of their deliverables
• You’ll take a lead role in defining the creative direction of your projects, seeing your vision through from conception to delivery
• You’re a great presenter. You can articulate your thinking with clarity and concision, remain calm under pressure, and are comfortable presenting creative work to senior stakeholders. You're confident to push back and deliver a better or different approach
• You are an expert collaborator. You’re a team player who can work just as effectively with your design team peers as you can with clients, or colleagues in product or engineering
• You’re comfortable leading other designers and delegating tasks to see the project's vision executed
• Whilst this isn't a management role, you’re comfortable mentoring junior designers, and are excited to share your wisdom
• You have your ears to the ground, and are aware of changes, trends, and the evolution of our industry and software 

Who You Are

• Has 5+ years of experience acting in a creative role and at least 2 years working in a creative agency environment
• Has an exceptional portfolio of shipped products (focused primarily on iOS or Android native application design), containing examples of highly usable and beautiful software that solves problems you can effectively articulate
• Has an understanding of, and has worked in an agile team environment
• Has an understanding of Apple’s Human Interface Guidelines or Google’s Material Guidelines thoroughly enough to spot when something’s out of place, and when to break the mold
• Is at ease using Figma, Sketch, Illustrator, and Photoshop
• Has a deep knowledge of modern iOS, Android, Web, and OS X interface conventions
• Has experience in some of the following areas: CRM, team workflow, activity feeds, visualizations/BI/analytics, native iOS mobile, email design, and responsive web
• Is exceptionally detailed with excellent oral and visual communication skills, and is comfortable in client-facing situations, primarily when presenting your own or others’ creative work
