About BeatStars

What You’ll Be Doing

Having grown substantially in the last two years with no sign of slowing down, we are looking for a (Senior) Product Designer to support our product development team. In this role, you will lead our product design efforts across the company to build amazing experiences for creators.

Responsibilities:

• Own every product design aspect, from solving the core user problem to shipping a well-tested and beautiful UI. 
• Create and test rough prototypes early in the design process to validate solutions.
• Participate in user interviews and socialize insights with your team and wider organization.
• Map out user journeys for new products, with a systems thinking mindset.
• Design high-fidelity UI and UX specs to communicate requirements to engineers.
• Lead design review meetings to capture feedback on recent work and get alignment with the wider product team.
• Work closely with your engineers to build components that seamlessly fit into a larger component library/style guide.
• Help make high-level strategic decisions with the rest of the product team.
• Contribute your design thinking skills to other areas of the platform (education, marketing, customer success, etc.).

What You’ll Need

• 5+ years of experience designing and launching apps on Web, iOS, and Android.
• Expert knowledge of user-centered design, usability principles, and techniques.
• Ability to present your work to a wide variety of audiences and receive feedback.
• Ability to balance thinking big while being detail-oriented and delivery-focused.
• Graphic / Marketing design experience is highly preferred.
• Organized and self-motivated, with an ability to work in a fast-paced environment.
• Excellent verbal / written communication, capable of inspiring your team and creators.
• Experience using best-in-class product design and animation tools.
• Experience working with agile development processes and tools.
• Experience with CSS/HTML & Javascript is a plus.

This role might be for you if:

• You are a team player. You understand that flying solo is a limiting and isolating choice and know that making your team look good works far better than creating a one-man show.
• You are an expert communication router - being at the center of the information triangle among the market, team, and company, you know how to find the best method and style to communicate thoughts, ideas, and feedback.
• You lead by influence, core values, and example, through motivating, guiding, and keeping your functional leads focused on the vision and goals.
• You relate well to people and quickly establish good relationships.
• You respond quickly and appropriately to the needs of others.
• You have a knack for explaining complicated things simply.
• You’re level-headed and cool under pressure. When things change, you know how to roll with the punches.
• You can tolerate ambiguity.
• You enjoy managing the big picture, as well as the small details.
• You are an out-of-the-box thinker when it comes to finding solutions to problems.
• You will blow us away with your work ethic, passion, integrity, attitude, and energy!

Benefits

We're a small and growing team working together closely and operating with complete autonomy and freedom. This means you will have a direct impact on any project that you work on and your success will be felt across the company and by your clients. Some other perks include:

• Elite Tier Benefits Program - generous contributions towards medical, dental, and vision for employees and dependents
