Description
We’re looking for a senior product designer to provide short-term execution support
during a period of elevated design demand. This role is intentionally focused on shipping
high-quality, build-ready UX for well-defined problems, while our internal design team remains
focused on foundational systems, core product workflows, and long-term strategy.
This is a time-bound engagement with clear scope, ownership, and success criteria.
Duration & Commitment
- Duration: 10–14 weeks (time-bound engagement)
- Weekly Hours: 20–40 hours/week (adaptable, based on project phase)
- Location: Remote (US time zone overlap preferred)
What You’ll Do
- Independently execute on clearly defined product requirements with minimal direction
- Translate well-framed problems into build-ready UX that Engineering can confidently implement
- Design user flows, states, and interaction details in Figma at the appropriate fidelity for the active Design Mode
- Ensure designs meet established quality bars for clarity, completeness, and usability
- Work within an existing or evolving design system and follow established patterns
- Proactively identify gaps, edge cases, and assumptions—and resolve or escalate them appropriately
- Partner closely with Engineering to unblock implementation while minimizing back-and-forth
- Communicate progress, risks, and decisions clearly and proactively
- Document designs and decisions to support smooth handoff and long-term continuity
Requirements
- 5+ years of product design experience
- Prior experience as a product design contractor or embedded designer
- Proven ability to execute independently in fast-moving product teams
- Strong judgment around design fidelity vs. time constraints
- Comfortable working within constraints and evolving systems
- Confident collaborating with Engineering in async environments
- Clear, concise communicator who surfaces issues early
Benefits
- Work remotely Monday - Friday, 40 hours a week (no weekends)
- Vacation: 10 b
