The Role

Step is looking for an experienced product designer who can lead the overall product, design, and UX strategy for a new initiative. We are a design focused consumer brand that works on physical products, digital products, and mobile apps. We’re looking for someone to roll up their sleeves, lead design on individual features and make design decisions in a role with plenty of room to grow. The ideal candidate is a passionate designer who is comfortable working closely with cross-functional teams to influence product strategy and rally them around elegant, innovative mobile solutions that delight our users.

What you’ll do

• Design flows and experiences that are intuitive and elegant.
• Execute on a master level with an eagle eye for detail.
• Give feedback on product strategy and design work to continually push the level of quality on the team.
• Work closely with our internal teams to understand their workflow and needs. 
• Collaborate with the Head of Design, Product and Engineering to deliver a world class experience to our customer support, risk and trust & safety teams.
• Create and maintain a design system to be used across internal tools.
• Process Improvement / Financial Infrastructure: Continuously develop systems and processes. Evaluate current processes, identify best practices, develop plans to reach goals and implement improvements.

What we’re looking for

• 5+ years demonstrated experience with end-to-end (hybrid UX and UI) product design.
• Excellent communication skills (you should be able to clearly articulate your design decisions).
• The ability to think at a high level about product strategy and vision (not just ’how it should look’ but ’what we should build’).
• Experience in building and shipping applications or software (mobile and web).
• Must have a portfolio featuring examples of design work.
• Some experience with front-end programming (you should be able to code up a simple website and/or an application).
