At ProducePay, we are on a mission to transform the global fresh produce industry into a more connected and sustainable ecosystem. Our platform empowers farmers by giving them access to vital market information and financial solutions, while consumers benefit from fresher, responsibly sourced produce.
As a Lead Product Designer, you will have a determining influence on the user experience (UX) of our various products. You will take an agile, user-centric, and data-driven approach to drive meaningful improvements to our product, focusing on solving root user problems rather than producing superficial solutions. You must be comfortable working cross-functionally, navigating high levels of ambiguity, and actively influencing product direction and team thinking for the ultimate benefit of the user.
You are an autonomous, generalist practitioner who is skilled in all facets of user experience: ideation, information architecture, interaction design, visual design, and user research. You will have proven success in your career, develop clear rationales for your proposals, and understand the importance of process alongside craft.
Responsibilities
- Lead the end-to-end design process, from user research and analysis to UX/UI design and implementation.
- Apply a holistic, systems-thinking approach to complex product challenges, leveraging deep customer empathy to create compelling and effective user experiences.
- Design and rapidly iterate on foundational artifacts, including user flows, wireframes, prototypes, and production-ready high-fidelity visuals, that clearly communicate design intent.
- Partner closely with Product Managers, Engineers, and cross-functional stakeholders to guide design implementation and iterate effectively based on rigorous user testing and data-driven feedback.
- Design intuitive interfaces and sophisticated data visualizations with a strong commitment to meeting and exceeding accessibility standards, specifically WCAG.
- Plan and conduct generative and evaluative user research (e.g., usability testing), translating qualitative and quantitative data-driven insights into actionable design improvements.
- Actively participate in and contribute valuable insights during design critiques, reviews, and brainstorming sessions.
- Drive the creation, maintenance, and adoption of our internal design system to ensure unparalleled consistency and efficiency across the entire product platform.
- Participate in key design meetings - including weekly status updates, brainstorming sessions, and quarterly planning.
- Proven ability to thrive in a remote-first, async work environment while maintaining effective collaboration with distributed teams.
