Staff Product Designer

About the role

We are hiring a Staff Product Designer to join the Fieldguide team. You will own complex, ambiguous problem spaces end-to-end, partner deeply with Product and Engineering, and help shape the design direction of a core Fieldguide product. This role moves incredibly fast at Fieldguide, and we are looking for designers who can operate at that cadence.

Responsibilities

• Lead end-to-end design for complex, ambiguous audit workflows, from problem definition through shipped solutions
• Partner closely with Product and Engineering to shape strategy, influence roadmaps, and deliver high-quality, scalable implementations
• Drive design execution with minimal direction, operating effectively in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment
• Translate customer needs, research insights, and business goals into clear user journeys, interaction models, and polished UI
• Balance speed and iteration with usability, consistency, and long-term product quality
• Advocate for users while accounting for technical, regulatory, and business constraints
• Own a significant product area or customer journey, anticipating downstream impacts across workflows and personas
• Set a high bar for craft and influence by contributing to the design system, mentoring peers, and serving as a trusted design voice

Who You Are

• You operate as a strategic IC — you don't just solve problems, you decide which problems matter
• You think several steps ahead, anticipating how decisions in one area ripple across others
• You're comfortable influencing senior PM and Engineering leaders, not just your immediate collaborators
• You have experience shaping how AI-assisted workflows get designed at a systemic level, not just within a single flow
• You've coached or mentored other designers and can articulate why, not just what
• You set a bar for craft and consistency that others look to as the standard
• You can hold a long-term point of view while still shipping incrementally
