Senior UX Visual Designer

We think about our product more broadly than most: Northbeam isn't only a web app. It's our data and our recommendations, delivered wherever our customers already work. Sometimes that's our platform. Sometimes it's an alert that lands in their inbox and shapes their day. Sometimes it's our data flowing into their own systems, or back into the ad platforms to make those platforms smarter. All of that is Northbeam, and all of it has to be designed.

As Senior UX Visual Designer, you'll be the person who makes it look like the best product in its category. Projects here start with our SMEs (our Media Strategists, CEO, Data Scientists and Engineers) and product team, who define requirements and work on an initial concept. You take it from there — fleshing it out, resolving the details, and bringing a level of visual craft that makes dense analytical software genuinely delightful to use. You'll work alongside product, media strategists, data science and engineering to ship.

This is a hands-on individual contributor role reporting to our Chief Product and Design Officer.

• AI inside the product. Automated alerts that tell a marketer what needs attention before they ask, and interfaces where customers can shape their own views and pages through natural language. These are new surfaces that need a visual language invented for them.
• Incrementality. Making causal measurement feel approachable to someone who isn't a statistician through engaging and beautiful visualizations.
• Actionable Data Insights. A coherent visual experience across our web app, mobile, email, and the integrations that push our data into our customers' own tools and workflows.
• The core data platform. Complex, data-heavy interfaces that stay elegant as we add new capabilities for our customers.

• Take initial concepts from our subject matter experts and product team and develop them into resolved, high-fidelity design.
• Raise the visual bar across the platform — typography, color, layout, density, and the details that separate good software from forgettable software.
• Build and extend our design system so quality scales beyond any one screen.
• Design data visualizations that make complicated numbers immediately readable.
• Present work clearly to customers and executives, and give and receive critique well.
• Partner closely with our brand and marketing team on a coherent visual identity.

• Motion design and interaction work.
