Senior Product Designer

Role & Team

We’re looking for a Product Designer to play a leading role in shaping our customer-facing product. This is a role for someone entrepreneurial who wants to roll up their sleeves and get their hands dirty with designing a product in its early stages. Reporting to the Head of Design, you’ll work closely with the rest of a dedicated team to build Overstory so that it has a giant impact on the world.

For this role we are looking to hire in the US or Canada (East Coast preferred), to be in close proximity to our customers. The team you would be working day-to-day with is distributed throughout the US and Europe.

Time zone requirement: Eastern North America (NST, AST, EST)

What You’ll Do

• Lead the end-to-end product design process of our customer-facing product including user research, wireframes, prototypes, flows, detailed design specs and QA.
• Understand engineering and business constraints to create shippable solutions to users’ problems, and continuously validate the solutions with customers.
• Lay out a design vision for what's possible by quickly iterating, knowing when to pay attention to detail and when to make low-fi sketches and prototypes.
• Communicate and present your work clearly and frequently to teammates and company leaders.
• Take full ownership of your work. That also means getting involved on how to communicate it to customers when releases happen.
• Think both short- and long-term so that you can meet near-term deadlines while iterating toward a future vision.
• Facilitate alignment and vision exercises (e.g. design sprints, workshops, planning).
• Occasionally meet in-person with our customers to run workshops, attend field visits and learn about how our customers are leveraging Overstory in their day-to-day operations
• Occasionally attend industry events to keep an eye on competition, and learn about how our prospects and customers are thinking about leveraging disrupting technology

Skills & Experience

• A strong portfolio featuring examples of interaction design work
• Experience working at an early-stage startup
• Demonstrated experience with end-to-end (hybrid UX and UI) product design for enterprise software
