Job Description
Staff Product Designer
Buyers Edge Platform
• Set the strategic UX direction for our mobile products (iOS and Android), establishing design vision that connects to business outcomes and long-term product strategy. • Build our design system from the ground up—creating the frameworks, patterns, components, and guidelines that enable our small team to design and ship faster with consistency and quality. • Partner with product and engineering leadership to shape product roadmap and strategy, bringing user insights and design thinking to high-stakes decisions. • Identify systemic design opportunities and challenges across our mobile experience, proposing scalable solutions that improve user engagement, retention, and business metrics. • Drive clarity and structure when product direction is unclear—independently framing problems, defining success criteria, and creating alignment in our fast-paced startup environment. • Lead complex, cross-functional initiatives that require organizational alignment, from gamification strategy to personalization systems to rewards architecture. • Think strategically about mobile-first consumer product growth: acquisition funnels, activation moments, habit formation, and retention mechanics. • Establish design standards, processes, and best practices that scale as the team and product grow—from design reviews to research methodologies to documentation. • Use data and research at scale to inform strategic decisions: analyzing patterns across user segments, measuring the impact of design initiatives, and identifying high-leverage opportunities. • Influence outcomes beyond your direct work by raising design quality, improving processes, and coaching other designers to think more strategically. • Develop and mentor senior designers, helping them grow their strategic thinking, systems thinking, and design leadership capabilities. • Represent design in cross-functional strategic discussions with product, engineering, and business leadership—advocating for user needs and long-term design quality. • Collaborate with marketing and growth teams to ensure coherent user experiences across the entire customer journey—from acquisition through retention. • Anticipate technical and organizational challenges before they impact product delivery, proactively addressing them through strategic design decisions.
Job Requirements
- 8+ years of product design experience with demonstrated progression from individual contributor work to strategic design leadership.
- Portfolio demonstrating staff-level impact: design systems built, strategic initiatives led, and organizational influence beyond individual projects.
- Deep mobile-first expertise with proven track record setting design direction for consumer mobile products (iOS and Android).
- Experience building design systems from early stages in startup or high-growth environments—creating frameworks that enabled teams to scale.
- Strategic thinking and business acumen: understanding of how design decisions impact engagement, retention, monetization, and other key business metrics.
- Proven ability to partner with product and engineering leadership on strategy, influencing roadmap and product direction through design thinking.
- Systems thinking: ability to identify patterns, propose scalable solutions, and think in terms of platforms and frameworks rather than one-off features.
- Strong leadership in ambiguous environments: able to create direction and structure when strategy is unclear, operating independently without extensive oversight.
- Experience in consumer loyalty, rewards, gamification, or similar engagement-driven products.
- Track record of developing other designers and raising design capabilities across a team or organization.
- Excellence in communication and influence: ability to drive alignment across teams and levels without positional authority.
- Data-driven decision making: expertise using analytics, research, and experimentation to inform strategic choices and measure impact at scale.
- Experience working in fast-paced startup environments where you shaped how design operates, not just what gets designed.
- Evidence of thought leadership: contributions to design community through writing, speaking, or other visible work.
Benefits
- Great benefits from day one. We offer medical, dental, vision, FSA, company-paid life insurance, and more—plus a 401(k) with company match.
- Grow with us. Enjoy strong training, development, and competitive pay.
- Work-life balance. Our flexible PTO policy lets you take time when you need it—no accrual required.
