About the Role
The Product Designer III delivers thoughtful, user-centered product experiences through an iterative, evidence-based design process. This role works on complex product problems from early exploration through delivery, translating user, business, and technical needs into clear, intuitive experiences. We’re looking for a strategically minded, hands-on designer who is comfortable working through ambiguity, takes initiative, and partners effectively with Product, Engineering, Research, and other cross-functional partners.
Responsibilities
- Own product design work from problem framing and exploration through validation, delivery, and iteration.
- Translate complex user, business, and technical needs into clear workflows, information architecture, interactions, and product experiences.
- Connect design decisions to broader user and business goals and make thoughtful tradeoffs between near-term needs and longer-term opportunities.
- Use Figma and prototyping tools to explore ideas, communicate intent, and create high-quality product experiences.
- Use qualitative and quantitative insights to inform design decisions.
- Partner closely with Product, Engineering, Research, and business partners to frame problems, evaluate options, and build alignment.
- Proactively seek context, identify gaps and opportunities, and move work forward in ambiguous environments.
- Apply design systems, accessibility standards, and UX best practices while contributing thoughtful new ideas.
- Explore emerging tools and approaches, including AI-assisted design and prototyping, that can improve how products are designed and delivered.
- Contribute to design critique, shared practices, and the overall quality of the team’s work.
Requirements
- Demonstrated experience delivering complex digital product experiences in partnership with Product and Engineering.
- Strong product thinking and ability to balance user needs, business goals, and technical constraints.
- Strong interaction and visual design skills, particularly for complex workflows and information.
- Experience applying user-centered design methods and research insights throughout the design process.
- Ability to take ownership of work and make progress without highly prescriptive direction.
- Strong communication and cross-functional collaboration and alignment skills.
- Strong proficiency with Figma and contemporary design and prototyping tools.
- Curiosity and willingness to experiment with new tools and ways of working.
- Portfolio demonstrating product thinking, design craft, process, and outcomes.
- Experience with enterprise, financial-services, CRM, workflow, or other complex products.
- Experience working in regulated or operationally complex environments.
- Familiarity with front-end technologies or functional prototyping.
- Experience with AI-assisted design, prototyping, or development workflows.
