Key Responsibilities:

Sr Product Designers at Disney are resourceful, imaginative problem solvers who collaborate inclusively with a range of engineering, product management, and other teammates and stakeholders throughout the design process.

  • Take full ownership of projects that involve end-to-end features or products within a clearly scoped set of product requirements.

  • Actively contribute to product-level decision-making by participating in team meetings, cross-functional groups, and collaborative feedback sessions.
  • Consistently deliver work that is well-thought-out and aligned with project goals.
  • Demonstrate sustained productivity and meet project deadlines by accurately estimating the time required for tasks.
  • Set an example for designers in your orbit through mentorship and open, honest feedback.

Qualifications:

As an applicant to this role, we ask that your portfolio demonstrates:

  • 5+ years of relevant industry experience.
  • Experience shipping high-utility mobile or desktop applications, simplifying complex user flows, or delivering new product innovation that disrupted conventions.
  • Expert understanding of user-centered design principles and best practices.
  • Self-motivated problem solving with the ability to work on multiple projects simultaneously.
