Senior Product Designer

About the role

We're looking for a versatile, intrinsically motivated designer who is excited to contribute to rethinking how modern software is designed. At Ashby, you'll be part designer, part product manager, part consultant, and part design system manager (or some combination of the 4!).

Responsibilities

• Create leverage and impact far and above what you'd see in a typical EPD product team structure.
• Work on all parts of a massive product surface area - spanning many user types, JTBDs, usability challenges, etc.
• Help reinvent the design model for modern enterprise software.
• Take ownership of larger product features and think through Jobs-To-Be-Done, navigation, information architecture, layout, interaction, etc.
• Consolidate and refine our design system to be functional, aesthetic, and best-in-class.

Requirements

• 4+ years of product design experience in desktop SaaS.
• Able to think from first principles instead of simply applying the “standard” UX processes.
• Break down complex user problems by asking questions that narrow down the solution space.
• Enough experience that your intuition can solve many usability problems without having to rely solely on data & metrics or conducting user research.
• Curious & resourceful enough to come up with creative solutions and de-risk them appropriately.
• Strong skills in layout, navigation, IA, UI, and interaction design.
• Strong visual design skills and obsession with craft & details.

Qualifications

• Experience at an early-stage startup or spending time as a solo designer on a team.
• Excited about creating a new design model for modern enterprise software.
• Not comfortable designing independently without much guidance from a PM or design management.
• Discomfort with having your decisions and process being challenged constantly by engineering & product.
• Preference for an in-person role over remote.
• Discomfort with written documentation.
• Preferring a narrow job scope - interaction design only, design system only, etc.
