Title: Staff Product Designer, Discovery Experience Location: San Francisco, CA or New York City, NY. Job Description: About Faire Faire is an online wholesale marketplace built on the belief that the future is local — independent retailers around the globe are doing more revenue than Walmart and Amazon combined, but individually, they are small compared to these massive entities. At Faire, we're using the power of tech, data, and machine learning to connect this thriving community of entrepreneurs across the globe. Picture your favorite boutique in town — we help them discover the best products from around the world to sell in their stores. With the right tools and insights, we believe that we can level the playing field so that small businesses everywhere can compete with these big box and e-commerce giants. By supporting the growth of independent businesses, Faire is driving positive economic impact in local communities, globally. We’re looking for smart, resourceful and passionate people to join us as we power the shop local movement. If you believe in community, come join ours. About this role We’re looking for a Staff Product Designer to define and design the next generation of search and discovery experiences at Faire. Search is core to Faire’s marketplace — it’s how retailers uncover new brands and products, and how brands are discovered by their next great partners. You’ll lead the vision for this critical experience, pushing the boundaries of how AI, systems design, and storytelling come together to help our users find exactly what they need — and sometimes, what they didn’t know they needed. As a Staff Designer, you’ll set the creative direction, evolve our design systems, and inspire cross-functional teams through storytelling that connects your design vision to Faire’s broader business and product strategy. We're looking for candidates open to working in San Francisco, CA or New York City, NY. What you’ll do - Define the vision for how users search and discover across Faire’s ecosystem — from the foundational architecture to the emotional details. - Lead end-to-end design: from deep discovery and rapid prototyping through polished execution and production. - Collaborate cross-functionally with engineering, product, and data teams to explore new paradigms — including AI-assisted search, personalization, and new interfaces. - Tell powerful stories that connect design vision to tangible business and customer impact, inspiring alignment across teams and leadership. - Push Faire’s design system forward through the lens of your work — evolving patterns, motion, and visual language that scale across the platform. - Prototype fearlessly using modern tools to explore new ideas, test assumptions, and accelerate innovation. - Mentor and elevate other designers — sharing your craft, process, and storytelling approach to raise the bar across the org. Qualifications - 10+ years of experience designing complex, high-impact digital products. - Deep expertise in interaction design, visual craft, and systems thinking. - Proven ability to lead with vision — influencing strategy and aligning cross-functional partners through compelling storytelling. - Strong ability to connect design direction to business and customer outcomes. - Comfort exploring and experimenting with new tools and workflows for rapid prototyping and AI-integrated design. - A portfolio that demonstrates visionary product thinking, strong craft, and clear communication of impact. - Experience contributing to and evolving large-scale design systems. - A passion for collaboration, mentoring, and driving a culture of excellence in design. We value candidates that bring a range of experience from different industries and a variety of creative influences. If you’re a maker or retailer yourself and can bring first-hand experience and empathy for the small business and entrepreneurial journey, tell us your story! Salary Range San Francisco, CA and New York City, NY: the pay range for this role is $212,500 - $292,000 per year. This role will also be eligible for equity and benefits.
