Senior Product Designer

Who You Are

We're looking for an exceptional designer who wants to set an uncommonly high bar for design. You’re likely a great fit if: - You are a product designer but understand brand design and like to think and design holistically how brand and product interlinks. You work in a structured and planned way and can work without a PM (for now). - Have partnered with (and can demonstrate past partnerships with) product and engineering to launch products, especially in a startup environment. - Are comfortable prototyping and iterating on initial ideas with users and engineers until they're launched. - You have built consumer facing products from early to later stage across Web, iOS and Android. - Know how to build and maintain cohesive visual UI systems, from overall creative direction down to icon systems, motion graphics, style guides & specs. - You welcome new ideas, and approach your work with a collaborative mindset that prioritizes delivering the best experience possible for the end customer. - Have the ability to start with big ideas, identify product and design opportunities, explore them visually, and distill them into an actionable direction. - Are a great listening and communicator, in both conversations and presentations. - You're looking to join a small, early-stage team that cares about one another, cares about users, and cares about building a product that will change an industry - You want a fast-paced, loosely-structured work environment that challenges you and that you learn from, but that is also made sustainable through balance and a recognition of a life outside the company. - You care about the future of beauty or social commerce and want to shape it. - You enjoy a high sense of ownership and agency.
