About the Role
We are hiring a passionate and highly experienced Senior Product Designer to join our driven
team. In this role, you will be pivotal in shaping products that unlock tangible value for our
consumers. You will report into a Design Manager and will support and lead design initiatives as
well as work in cross-functional teams from product, data, CRO, and publishing. If you are
excited about shaping the future of digital publishing, and building products that help millions of
people make complex decisions confidently - this role is for you.

Responsibilities:
● End-to-End Design Ownership: Oversee the complete design lifecycle for multiple,
sometimes overlapping, product features from research and concept ideation to
high-fidelity prototyping and final handoff. You will also produce detailed documentation
(annotated mockups, style guides) for smooth development handoffs and coordinate with
QA post-launch to gather user feedback and continuously refine the user experience.

● AI-friendly Design System Development: Contribute to the evolution of our design
system from our current experience into an AI-first experience, creating scalable
patterns, tokens, and workflows that can be prompted or extended by other designers.
● Front End Implementation: Understand design work into front-end components using
React, Tailwind CSS, or rapid prototyping tools such as Bolt, Lovable in a consistent way
and partner with engineers to align design intent and technical feasibility, ensuring
solutions are both elegant and efficient to implement.
● Advanced Prototyping & Interaction: Develop interactive prototypes showcasing
intricate user flows, micro-interactions, and motion elements that clarify and enhance the
user experience.
● Team Mentorship: Provide guidance to junior and mid-level designers, facilitate design
critiques, and foster a culture of feedback and continuous learning.
● Cross-Functional Collaboration: Cross-disciplinary skill sharing by organizing
workshops or pairing sessions with engineering, experimentation teams, and product
managers to broaden the team’s perspective.
● Documentation & Standards: Maintain system documentation covering tokens,
component behaviors, accessibility, and brand alignment.
● Design System Governance: Champion design consistency and scalability while
enabling experimentation and localization across products.
● AI Design Enablement: Explore how AI tools and generative workflows can accelerate
design exploration and empower other designers to create faster and smarter.

Requirements:
● At 5-8 years of experience in a Product Design or UI/UX Design role with an emphasis
on mobile-first, web-based, proactive conversion optimization and feature development.
● Should have experience with the basics of frontend engineering frameworks, React,
CSS, and pushing code to production.
● You care fiercely about crafting meaningful, impactful user experiences and continuously
level up your craft.
● Remote-first experience - at least one-two years thriving in a fully distributed team -
strong asynchronous communication habits and tooling fluency.
● Your work is grounded in ideation, well tested, and fundamentally driven by data.
Analyze both qualitative and quantitative data (e.g., heatmaps, user funnels, user
feedback, usage metrics) to refine product features and validate design hypotheses.
Familiarity with Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity is a plus.
● Conduct or oversee in-depth usability tests, user interviews, and other research
activities, synthesizing findings into actionable design improvements.
● Experienced in structuring information and user journeys across diverse platforms (web,
mobile), balancing aesthetics with usability.
● Deep familiarity with maintaining and evolving large-scale component libraries, ensuring
brand consistency and accessibility.
● Ability to craft detailed animations and transitions that enhance user comprehension and
delight in moderately complex workflows.
● Comfortable iterating quickly in a fast-paced environment; you distill clarity and direction
from open-ended problems.
● You bring people together—articulate vision, build alignment, and foster cross-team
collaboration through inspiring narrative.
