About the Role
Our users are at the top of their respective crafts, and they expect tooling that is too. As a Product Designer on Decima you will contribute to all aspects of the end user experience. You will lead discovery and understanding efforts to inform our product strategy, create well-crafted interactions and visuals for tools and features within the Decima ecosystem, and cooperate widely to cultivate best-in-class processes. You will be highly collaborative, spending the time and effort to understand our business and technology goals so you can better deliver long term and scalable product solutions for our users.
You will lean on your design expertise, diplomatic influence, and creative problem-solving to deliver elegantly simple user experiences for complex game and entertainment workflows. You will own and lead the Product Design discipline for Decima, including scaling the team and capability as the user base grows. This role would best suit someone with experience designing for Digital Content Creation (DCC) tools, game engines, and/or creative enterprise applications.

- Work within large, ambiguously scoped projects, leading them from understanding, through definition, to realization and delivery for our users.
- Help level up design knowledge and culture across Decima by providing education and assistance to our cross-functional partners.
