At a glance
- Work mode
- Remote
What you'll do
- Own design end to end: discovery, concept, prototyping, delivery and launch
- Take products from zero to one, turning an early idea or a rough problem space into something real that people use
- Build new AI products for external B2C customers, and internal AI products that shape and redefine the way that Payward works
- Thrive in ambiguity: define the problem, set the direction and make the call when nobody has handed you a brief
- Design for non-deterministic experiences, where outputs vary and the system doesn't behave the same way twice
- Create visually rich, forward-thinking work that sets new benchmarks for what AI products can look and feel like
- Partner directly with product, engineering and leadership, and influence strategy and roadmap decisions
- Prototype fast to make ideas tangible, test them and learn
- Conduct user research and use customer insights, data and experimentation to decide what to build and keep improving it after launch
- Hold a high bar for craft and user experience in everything you ship
What we're looking for
- 7+ years of experience in product design, with a portfolio demonstrating exceptional craft and impact
- A track record of taking products from zero to launch as the lead or only designer, owning the full design process end to end
- World class product thinking: comfort with ambiguity, finding direction when requirements are unclear, making sound decisions with incomplete information, and adapting as things change
- Strong UX and visual design skills, with a record of solving open-ended problems with clarity and elegance
- Advanced prototyping skills, with the ability to communicate complex interactions and ideas quickly
- Experience influencing product strategy and cross-functional decision-making
- Strong systems thinking, with the ability to create coherent, scalable experiences from scratch
Nice to have
- Experience designing for non-deterministic experiences, such as AI-powered, generative or probabilistic products
