No one likes to be treated like a case number. But these days, even if companies want to build an authentic relationship with their customers, they can't – their software doesn't allow it. That's where Gladly comes in: we put people at the heart of it, let the world's greatest brands treat their customers as people, build relationships, and deliver happiness.

So it's not just our process: the whole premise of our product is to be human-centric. We're looking for an experienced Product Designer to take a human-centric approach in furthering our product, inspiring our team and making our vision come true.

Responsibilities

• Work closely with PM and Engineering to:
  • Be the voice of design and the end user in all discussions
  • Understand market requirements and customer needs
  • Define, scope, structure and sequence projects
  • Ensure a high quality implementation and resulting user experience.
• Own the end-to-end design features/product verticals over long periods of time, including hands-on execution of flows, prototypes and mocks from the lowest to the highest levels of fidelity.
• Build confidence in ideas by talking directly to customers to understand their needs, observe their workflows and evaluate possible solutions.
• Lead design thinking processes and facilitating out-of-the-box thinking through brainstorms, workshops and sprints.
• Help shape our process and evolve our design culture to ensure we're always shipping great work.

Profile

The ideal candidate for this position:

• Has 5+ years experience designing software, a good chunk of that on the web
• Approaches design with a collaborative, inclusive mindset
• Turns feedback into a learning experience, applying it wisely
• Excels at execution, but is pragmatic about scope and timelines

Also, you don't have to be funny, but it doesn't hurt if you can crack a joke. :)

Requirements

• Excellent skills across interaction design, visual design, information architecture and prototyping. We don't expect you to excel at all of those, but we're looking a well-rounded candidate.
• Knowing how to sell your work. You can speak the language of product managers and engineers, and know how to balance business needs and design goals.
• The ability to structure your own time and prioritize accordingly.
• Experience working in a fast-paced environment, highly responsive to customer needs. We're working on meaty design problems and solving them thoughtfully, but we're moving quickly.
