Title: Sr Product Designer

Location: New York City (hybrid schedule)

Reporting Structure: This role reports to the CEO

Company Description

Our client is on a mission to make government more accessible to connect and empower. They're building an AI platform that helps businesses and individuals make sense of messy government & court data. Executive orders, news shifts, regulations, legislation, cases - they’re making sense of it all.

Corporations, law firms, non-profits, and individuals alike are still using spreadsheets and archaic government websites to understand how bills impact their industry. They deserve a 21st century tool that streamlines how we make sense of pending legislation, and enables a more transparent and accessible advocacy process.

Quick facts:

• Raised $9M total
• Supported by Bonfire Ventures (#1 VC in LA) and Communitas VC (plus former Thomson Reuters, Granicus, Snapchat leadership)
• Already working with big names like Crowdstrike, Gunderson Law
• Passionate and mission driven team building cool stuff to benefit everyone!

The Role

They’re looking for a Senior Product Designer who can own design end-to-end: facilitating and leading workshops (including discovery sessions, brainstorming exercises, and ‘how-might-we’ ideation), mapping complex user flows, to crafting intuitive UIs, to delivering polished visuals for both product and marketing. This is a full-stack design role that spans UX strategy, UI craftsmanship, and graphic design. Holistically, the role will place a heavier emphasis on user experience, over UI. 

As their first design hire, you’ll report directly to the CEO, and play a foundational role in shaping their design language and design system. You’ll work closely with product, engineering, and marketing to build a platform that not only makes government data usable, but delightful. The product design team will remain lean as they scale, with the expectation of you being the sole designer for the foreseeable future.

• UX & UI: Proven ability to own the full product design lifecycle: research, wireframes, flows, prototypes, final UI.
• Workflow Design: Skilled at designing and redesigning complex user workflows, with a track record of simplifying processes and improving usability in enterprise SaaS products.

• Graphic Design: Comfortable designing marketing and sales collateral (decks, PDFs, ads, landing pages).
