Company mission
The new standard for eCommerce intelligence.
Role
Who you are
- 12+ years of product design experience, with deep B2B SaaS and enterprise work
- Equal strength in interaction design and visual design. This is not a role where one covers for the other. Your portfolio needs to show rigorous UX thinking — flows, wires, early exploration, the reasoning behind decisions — and finished work that looks genuinely good
- Real experience with complex, data-dense interfaces
- Experience leading from vision to design execution
- Expert command of Figma and adjacent design tools
- Exceptional communication and presentation skills, including giving and receiving critique
Desirable
- Marketing, advertising, or eCommerce domain experience
- A background that brings craft and playfulness to utility software — game design, motion, entertainment, or a formal art/design education
- Storyboarding, participatory design, or other methods for driving end-to-end vision
What the job involves
- This is a hands-on Individual Contributor role reporting to our Chief Product and Design Officer and working from our downtown San Francisco office 2-3 days/week
- AI inside the product. Think automated alerts that tell a marketer what needs attention before they ask, and interfaces where customers can shape their own views and pages through natural language. Designing for a system that surfaces things unprompted is a genuinely open problem, and it's yours
- Incrementality. Making causal measurement — the hardest thing in marketing analytics — feel obvious to someone who isn't a statistician
- Actionable Data Insights. Designing coherent experiences across our web app, mobile, email, and the integrations that push our data into our customers' own tools and workflows
- The core data platform. Complex, data-heavy interfaces that stay elegant as we add new capabilities for our customers
- Develop and advocate for a UX/UI vision for Northbeam, and understand what it costs to build
- Engage directly with customers, then translate what you learn into requirements and designs with product and engineering
- Move from early thinking to shipped work: flows, wireframes, prototypes, high-fidelity design — validating assumptions and refining as you go
- Distill complex data models and workflows into designs and presentations that land with customers and executives alike
- Mentor other designers and partner closely with our brand and marketing team
Our take
Traditionally in-person stores used a plethora of consultants, accountants and agencies to seek improvements that would boost their bottom line. Now, in the age of internet-enabled commerce, data richness and a totally new customer acquisition landscape has made those services irrelevant.
Instead, startups like Northbeam have emerged to fulfil those roles for the modern age. In particular, Northbeam provides services for eCommerce intelligence. That means applying machine learning and first-party data to drive more efficient and scalable marketing strategies.
Its recent integration with MNTN highlights how that role is evolving even further, bringing channels like connected TV into a single, trusted measurement framework. By replacing fragmented reporting and intuition with clear, data-backed insights, Northbeam is positioning itself as essential infrastructure for modern eCommerce decision-making.
