About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

You own portal and viewer design from research through to what ships and what changes afterward.
You will set the approach on work that can span both teams and sometimes takes more than a quarter to land, see the risks early, and keep things moving when priorities shift.
Learn how your customers actually work, on site and in the office, and what they need from iGUIDE
Set the design direction for the portal and the viewer one to three quarters out
Keep the portal coherent as two teams ship for two different audiences, and decide when a workflow should be shared and when a vertical genuinely needs its own
Own the design of the viewer, which is the part of our product that property buyers and homeowners actually see
Establish the design patterns for the portal and extend the design system as you go
Plan and run your own research and usability testing, and use what you learn to change designs, and roadmaps when the evidence is strong enough
Work the hard tradeoffs through with engineers, and stay involved during the build so what ships matches the intent
Make the case for users with evidence, including when it means changing a direction the team has already committed to
Understand how your design decisions move adoption, conversion, retention and cost to serve, and defend your recommendations in those terms, including when the best experience is not the best business decision
Long term opportunities to coach less experienced designers, review their work, and help set the standard for the team
Tell the rest of the company what design is doing and why, without waiting to be asked
Watch how the work performs after launch and decide what to invest in further, fix, or drop

Requirements

What you’ll need

6+ years designing digital products, with a portfolio that shows craft and the thinking behind it
You have owned a product area, not only a queue of features. Work that spanned several teams and took more than a quarter to land
Strong Figma skills, including component systems and prototyping, and you build and extend design systems
You run your own research, and can point to a design that changed because of what you learned
Experience with complex or technical B2B software. Dense data, real workflows, expert users
You have designed for more than one kind of customer in a single product, and have a view on when to converge and when to diverge
Comfortable designing for professionals and for the public. The portal is a working tool; the viewer is seen by consumers
You have mentored other designers, and changed a senior stakeholder's mind by making a good case
You ship, and you have a view on when a design is good enough to go
You want to help build a design practice rather than join one that already runs itself
