Role
Who you are
- You have a track record of success: Has built an end-to-end experience that people currently use. Has delivered projects in abbreviated time frames, owned and led alignment discussions around discovery and design
- You are a structured thinker: Can break down a design into its component parts, and then guide a group of stakeholders through countless design directions to an actionable result. Ability to help scope, discover design projects, take direction and feedback and iterate quickly
- You score high on user empathy / curiosity: Always grounds the design process in a deep curiosity about the user
- You are highly collaborative: Brings a low-ego approach to the team, seamlessly incorporating feedback and new inputs into their design/thought process, while pushing back against stakeholders when necessary. Opinionated but humble
- You can confidently explore (speed): In early exploration phases, brings exceptional design velocity to guide stakeholders through multiple “rough” versions to quickly validate ideas and drive conversation
- You are Adaptable: Has worked in a fast-paced environment — bringing well-worn frameworks to the table and the confidence to break from them when necessary. Fluidity and comfortable with iteration
- Must be US based
What the job involves
- Howl is looking for a Senior Product /UX Designer to help usher our products into their next phase post our redesign and new product launch
- You have helped craft the vision of what our client-facing products can do. You will be transforming the complex into simple; raw data into usable insights
- You have helped us reimagine how our users do their work: from marketers at the hottest brands and retailers; to writers, editors, and creators who write the internet’s most trusted recommendations
- You have externalized our internal tools into the self-serve platform necessary to scale and grow the company
- You'll report directly to our VP, Product and be their right hand when it comes to product design strategy
Our take
Advertising products via influencers has become a trillion-dollar industry. With the rise of social media, the push to mobile platforms, and the turn away from brick-and-mortar retailers, it’s now a crucial tool that both major and breakout brands leverage to great effect. Howl, an influencer marketing marketplace, may have appeared at exactly the right time and has the chance to win big from this development.
The Howl platform functions something like an Upwork for brands and influencers. Brands can list partnership opportunities on an open marketplace, whilst influencers will receive personalized recommendations, and have access to a dashboard where they can monitor sales and access easy and instant payment.
Formerly known as Narrativ, Howl benefits from a firmly established client base that includes major enterprise brands like HP, Sephora, and Samsung. With a firm foundation already laid down in this remarkably lucrative new sector, and fresh funding at its back, the company has a real chance to capture the market and find further success in the future.
