We're hiring a Principal Product Designer, who will report to our VP of UX / Brand, to help craft the future of Nift, specifically upgrading our consumer experience. This is a rare opportunity for a visionary designer to completely "glow-up" a consumer product that's already cash-flow positive (with an audience of 40M+) and how we show up in partner ecosystems like Tinder, Meetup, Afterpay, Tripadvisor, and more.
Nift's mission is to reshape how people discover and try new brands by introducing new products and services to prospective customers as a thoughtful "thank-you" gift. Our platform ensures the best products triumph in driving efficient new customer acquisition at scale, customers feel valued and rewarded, and the businesses that use Nift to say thank you continue to grow. We're poised for exponential growth and we believe that a well-designed user experience is foundational to realizing our full potential.
Designers serve a vital role at Nift: from creating the experience of new features to the craft and finish of every detail in the product. We appreciate designers who think deeply, speak clearly, love collaboration and feedback, and push us all to reach for more. If you believe great products can make money and do good in the world, this is your place.
To succeed you'll need:
- At least 10 years of experience in an individual contributor role, on a product design team for desktop or mobile, preferably in a leadership role, driving projects
- An outstanding portfolio, showcasing a table-stakes foundation of skills in typography, interaction, visual design, and ideation
- Demonstrated experience building usable, accessible, and modular designs that have scaled to millions of users
- Experience designing for iterative testing and experimental features that continuously optimize for conversion and engagement
- Experience working and collaborating with diverse teams in a dynamic, rapid-growth environment.
- Experience working to develop and present the strategy and rationale for features.
- Experience developing prototypes as a means to explore and convey design solutions.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills
- Bonus: prototyping skills
What you will do:
- Consistently develop work that is not only stunning visually, it is simple, on-brand, and produces results that drive revenue growth
- Ideate, concept, sketch, wireframe, design, prototype, build and iterate on features that drive increased adoption, engagement, repeat usage and revenue
- Work cross-functionally with product and engineering partners to represent the design team, facilitate design discussions, and give feedback in planning and product development.
- Continuously seek feedback from users, peers, and the product team to inform design thinking
- Be an unapologetic evangelist for the consumer
- Maintain exceptional attention to detail and best practices
- Use and evolve our design system to craft flows, prototypes, sketches, and high-fidelity visuals for your features.
- Work in close collaboration across teams to inform and improve our design and production processes to ensure high-quality implementation and user experience
What you get:
- Unique opportunity to join a well-managed, data-driven, cash-flow-positive company with a customer-first mindset. Our investors are the same folks who invested in Fitbit, Warby Parker, Wayfair, and Twitter.
- Significantly impact our partners' and Nift's growth, scale and future success
- Work remotely, competitive salary and benefits
- Career progression: Nift is a growing company and offers a wide range of opportunities based on performance, desired interest, your contribution, and impact
