About the role
- Lead end-to-end design for high-impact product areas: discovery, flows, IA, interaction design, visual design, and design QA through launch and iteration.
- Translate business goals and user needs into clear problem statements, hypotheses, and measurable outcomes; define success metrics with PM and Data.
- Plan and run lean research (customer interviews, concept tests, usability studies); synthesize insights into JTBD, personas, journey maps, and actionable opportunities.
- Prototype across fidelities (from fast lo-fi to interactive hi-fi) to de-risk ideas and accelerate alignment with stakeholders and engineers.
- Deliver production-ready specifications with responsive behaviors, edge/empty/error/loading states, content guidance, and accessibility notes.
- Evolve and maintain Sharebite’s design system in Figma: create modular components, tokens, and patterns; partner with Engineering on parity and governance.
- Champion accessibility and inclusive design (keyboard navigation, semantics, contrast, motion preferences) aligned to WCAG 2.1 AA.
- Collaborate tightly with Engineering throughout implementation—partner closely with Engineering and Product throughout the software development life cycle by conducting design reviews and validating implementation against design specifications.
- Maintain coherence with Brand and Marketing across surfaces; contribute to key campaigns or landing pages when needed to ensure a unified experience.
- Manage designers through structured critique, coaching, and documentation; codify patterns and best practices to scale design quality across teams.
- Operate with ownership and urgency—balance speed with rigor, communicate tradeoffs clearly, and consistently deliver outcomes that move the business and mission forward.
Requirements
- 6–10+ years of end-to-end product design experience shipping web and/or mobile products at scale, including ownership of a core product area.
- Expert in Figma (auto-layout, variants, components, tokens) and rapid prototyping across fidelities; comfortable with interaction details and motion.
- Strong systems thinking: can design patterns, evolve design systems, and maintain consistency across complex surfaces and states.
- Proven ability to partner with PM and Engineering from discovery through delivery; clear, pragmatic decision-making and tradeoff communication.
- Data-informed mindset: comfortable defining success metrics, collaborating on instrumentation, and iterating from qualitative and quantitative insights.
- Accessibility fluency and commitment to inclusive design practices aligned to WCAG 2.1 AA.
- Excellent written and verbal communication—clear specs, crisp documentation, effective async updates, and facilitation of critiques/workshops.
- High bar for craft with speed: you can move fast, manage ambiguity, and still deliver polished, production-ready work.
- Team contributor and mentor: gives/receives feedback well, elevates design quality across peers, and helps codify standards.
