Your Responsibilities

  • Drive product growth by designing and delivering new features and enhancements across the website, responsive web app, and mobile app.
  • Act as a strategic design lead within a squad, shaping the overall product vision in partnership with Product Managers and Engineers.
  • Create and help govern design systems, ensuring consistency and scalability across the product.
  • Define and frame design challenges that span multiple squads, ensuring alignment with broader product strategy and business goals.
  • Measure the impact of design decisions through research and data analysis, iterating as needed to enhance user experience and business outcomes.
  • Own key user journeys, ensuring seamless, high-quality experiences across platforms.
  • Run and analyze user research, co-leading research initiatives with Product Managers to inform decision-making.
  • Coach and mentor junior designers, helping them frame problems and structure their projects effectively.
  • Socialize design insights across the company to deepen team-wide understanding of our users and product.
  • Stay ahead of industry trends, incorporating best practices into our design processes.

Qualifications

  • Experience creating and maintaining design systems, ensuring consistency and scalability.
  • Proficiency in Figma and other standard design tools.
  • Strong UX and UI design skills, with the ability to balance user needs and business goals.
  • Experience defining and conducting user research to inform product decisions.
  • Ability to create proof-of-concept designs and shape early product definitions.
  • Experience aligning cross-functional teams, including Product Managers and Engineers, to shared design goals.
  • Ability to work in a fast-paced startup environment, adapting quickly to shifting priorities.
  • Strong collaboration and communication skills, with experience working across US and international teams.

This role is perfect for someone who thrives in a strategic, high-impact design position, enjoys partnering closely with Product Managers and stakeholders, and wants to help shape the future of design at Roo.
