About the Role
You'll lead design for the App Shop experience, focusing on discovery, merchandising, product detail, and the handoff into cart and checkout. This is a hands-on Staff role where you will set the design direction for the pod, ship the work yourself, and raise the design bar for the team.
Responsibilities
- End-to-end Shop design: discovery and browse, merchandising and personalized recommendations, product detail, and the cross-sell and post-purchase moments.
- Manage multi-milestone design programs, driving them to business outcomes with minimal oversight.
- Shape product vision and manage stakeholders and team capacity.
- Own the pod's slice of the FanApp design system, creating patterns for product cards, merchandising modules, and recommendation surfaces.
- Prototype designs, including in the product environment itself, using AI tools to explore and validate behavior.
- Establish design evaluation and validation standards for the pod.
- Mentor designers on and around the Shop pod, focusing on craft, ownership, and collaboration.
Requirements
- 10+ years in Product Design, with experience operating at Staff scope.
- E-commerce, shopping, or merchandising design experience.
- Strong systems thinking, with experience building adopted patterns and components.
- Prototyping fluency, including in the product's own code/app environment.
- Comfort using AI tools to move faster without losing rigor.
- Track record of mentoring designers and setting design/craft standards.
- Comfort in a mobile-first, fast-moving consumer environment with potentially ambiguous roadmaps and shifting priorities.
- Design complete systems, not just screens.
- Act as a custodian of visual and interaction quality.
- Know when to simplify and unify rather than add another pattern.
- Prototype fluently enough to settle debates with a demo.
- Mentor by example.
- Understand data and backend realities to design feasible, resilient, and predictable interactions.
