We are looking for a senior product designer with management experience to join our Design team. Your job will be to maintain a healthy work environment for the Design team and organize the work of the team internally, as well as do design work as an individual contributor.
Your role:
The Design Manager role splits between management work (around 30% of the workload) and carrying out the day-to-day design work (the remaining). You’ll be running a small and talented team of 2 (3 counting you), working side by side with developers and the Product Manager, and reporting directly to the Product Lead.
*Management & leadership*
The list of responsibilities comprises:
- Overseeing the day-to-day operation of the Design team
- Managing the design roadmap (the list of all the design requests that come from the different teams).
- Making sure that designers don’t have any preventable blockers in their daily jobs.
- Representing the team in internal meetings and making sure that the team’s voice is heard across the company.
- Follow-up on the team members
- Scheduling regular 1:1 meetings with the team: listening, giving and collecting feedback.
- Monitoring team performance, addressing problems and making sure that high performance is fairly rewarded.
- Maintaining fluid communication with the Product Managers to ensure efficiency.
- Managing hiring processes for the Design team and helping out with hiring in any other areas of the company as needed.
*Design work as an individual contributor*
- We need someone able to take a project from the concept phase into production-ready designs. The successful candidate will be responsible for helping shape the future of BeBanjo’s products as well as maintaining existing interfaces.
- You should be able to communicate efficiently with product managers, developers, technical account managers and the rest of the design team. You will be splitting your time between defining the strategic vision of the products’ interfaces and taking the tactical steps to achieve it.
- Besides products, you should be willing to help with all things visual. Our design team is small and we need a candidate that is a generalist designer at heart.
About you:
- You are a senior product designer, with experience as a manager. We are not looking for a junior product designer for this position.
- You should be able to communicate clearly in English.
- You should be empathetic, able to work with little supervision, and supportive of others. You also know how to get things done, taking pragmatic approaches when the situation requires it.
- You have solid design foundations. You are committed and care about the quality of your designs as well as presenting them. You pay attention to details as well.
- You shipped digital products in the past from conception to the final touches. You understand your role goes beyond the design files, reacting to user feedback and challenges technology throws at you.
- You must have experience with web technologies and designing modern web products: responsive web design and design systems in particular. We are not asking you to be also a developer, but you should be receptive to feedback.
- You’ll work from where you want. You should have enough overlap with business hours in Europe. Anywhere between New York’s and Mumbai’s time zones will probably work.
- Bonus points if you have experience in UX research.
