Senior Product Designer

What you’ll be doing:

• Solve complex user problems with well-thought-out, delightful solutions.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to drive design and product vision and strategy; focussing primarily on one area of our platform, with potential opportunities to work across multiple areas.
• Conduct user research to understand our users’ needs, translate them into strong user experiences, and evaluate the effectiveness of the design; continually test, iterate, and improve on your work to ensure we put our best foot forward. 
• Visualize ideas and concepts in order to communicate them effectively to internal stakeholders and customers.
• Produce journey maps, wireframes, mockups, prototypes, and other collateral as needed to drive our product development efforts. 
• Become an expert in ad-tech and programmatic media buying, understanding the competitive landscape, the evolving market needs, and how those things relate to StackAdapt’s product offering. 
• Share your work early and often.
• Provide design feedback to, and potentially mentor and coach, other Product Designers across the team.

What you’ll bring to the table:

• 4+ years of end-to-end experience as a Product Designer (visual, interaction, research, and everything in between). 
• A portfolio demonstrating a comprehensive understanding of user problems, the ability to create elegant and effortless solutions out of complexity, as well as your storytelling skills; from low-fidelity sketches through to the outcomes you achieved. 
• An in-depth understanding of design thinking, usability heuristics, inclusive design, design systems, and visual design skills (information design, typography, colour, etc.). 
• Your communication is crisp, clear, and effective both in written and verbal formats - and you always know your audience; you’ve delivered complex software designs before and can speak to their successes. 
• Empathy for all stakeholders, but you have no problem tactfully defending your design decisions and processes; you embrace feedback from your team with a desire to continuously improve your craft.  
• Proficient in modern product design tools. 
• Knowledge of programming technologies. 
• Experience with product analytics tools such as Pendo and Fullstory is considered an asset.
