Job Overview

We are looking for a Senior Product Designer who is passionate about creating intuitive and engaging product experiences to improve the lives of caregivers and their families. 

As a key member of our small but mighty Product Design Team here at Homethrive, you’ll be working closely with our product development teams but this is a highly cross-functional role with an opportunity to drive impact across a broad array of mission-driven efforts.

 This is an ideal opportunity for a designer who’s looking to:

• Own the full design lifecycle — from discovery and research to implementation and shipping — for a high-priority and high-impact product
• See your designs quickly translated from concept to real-world products
• Rise to meet a broad range of design challenges
• Make a huge impact in a startup organization and in the day-to-day lives of caregivers and their families

Key Responsibilities

• Create captivating, empowering, and easy-to-understand user experiences for our products
• Be an influential voice for our users and take a strong stance on human-centered software and design processes
• Act as a subject matter expert on the design team, giving and soliciting feedback from other designers to continually raise our bar for quality
• Lead and collaborate on all aspects of the design process including brainstorming, user research, wireframing, prototyping, user testing, and visual design
• Drive user research and testing, helping your teammates understand users’ needs and goals
• Partner with our product, engineering, marketing, and data science teams to solve complex problems and deliver clear design specifications and assets
• Communicate your design decisions clearly and effectively to the team, including robust documentation
• Critically analyze the success of your solutions and iterate quickly on new ideas
• Mentor and help your colleagues with their career growth and productivity

Qualifications

• A desire to use your skills to have a widespread impact on people — we are a mission-driven company.
• 5+ years experience in a Product Design role
• A portfolio demonstrating a human-centered design process and documenting both challenges you faced and the impact of your work
• End-to-end product experience: you’ve led the design of multiple features which were shipped to end users
• Experience designing for and delivering improved engagement and retention
• Experience building prototypes to explore and communicate how users will interact with our products to achieve their goals
• Experience designing and executing user research to drive your own and colleagues’ decision-making to best serve our users
• Expert knowledge of responsive design — you know the limitations and love pushing the boundaries. You are well-versed in device capabilities and restrictions — desktop, mobile, and mobile.
• Bachelor’s Degree or equivalent experience in design, HCI, or a relevant field
• Proficiency in industry tools like Figma, Maze, Asana, Jira, and Confluence
• Experience working within and/or creating and maintaining a design system
• Experience working in agile teams 
• Self-motivated and successful in fast-paced environments. You take ownership of your projects, but welcome feedback and strive to effectively communicate design decisions.
• Humility and a positive attitude is a must. We welcome healthy discussion and debate, but we make sure to put ideas ahead of egos and believe great things come from collaboration.

Nice to Haves

• Experience working in a startup environment is a big plus
• Experience or demonstrated interest in brand design and development
