Role
Who you are
- Experienced and Empowered: With 5+ years as a Product Designer and 2+ years of experience working on technology-powered products, you understand modern product discovery and delivery methods and how to drive the best solutions for business challenges
- Product-Focused Mindset: You have a product-focused mindset. You have the passion and ability to discover what our customers will love and help them realize the value our products offer
- Problem Solver: You excel at solving tough problems with innovative solutions, embracing failure and iteration as part of the process
- Customer-Centric: You deeply understand our users and customers, transforming insights into user-centered solutions through ongoing prototyping and testing
- UX Obsessed: You exhibit a strong foundation in user experience design, and you enjoy the challenge of turning complex problems into simple, elegant solutions that users love
- Holistic Expertise: You are skilled in both visual and interaction design, and your work demonstrates a deep understanding of design principles and methodologies
- Collaborative Leader: You thrive in an environment of continuous collaboration, clearly articulating the rationale driving decisions and working well with cross-functional teams to achieve goals
- Inclusive Team Player: You value diverse perspectives and believe that innovation thrives in teams where different viewpoints come together to solve complex problems. You're ready to bring your unique experiences and background to our product teams
- Compelling Communicator: You are an excellent communicator, able to articulate decisions clearly and persuasively
- Characterized by Humility: You work quickly, with confidence, and without ego. We’re a startup and we run fast and lean – which means every individual on the Product Team has a high degree of ownership and potential impact
- You have the opportunity (and are expected) to exercise leadership and expertise in your daily work, having strongly held and defensible ideas, and advocating for what you believe is right
- But you’re also eager to hear differing opinions, adept at identifying and evaluating tradeoffs, willing to be proven wrong, and quick to walk through fire to help your fellow teammates
- We hire people who care about their teammates just as much as (if not more than) themselves. We hire people who are genuine, humble, willing to learn, ready to teach, able to adapt, flex, collaborate, celebrate each other, win together and lose together
- We aren’t looking for perfect people. We’re looking for people who own their faults, play to their strengths, and have the courage to simply be the same person all the time
What the job involves
- As a Senior Product Designer, you’ll play a pivotal role in shaping our product’s future, working alongside Product Managers and Engineers to deliver solutions that customers love and align with our business objectives
- You’ll use customer insights to discover, prototype, test, influence and design solutions that bring our product vision to life
- Some of your responsibilities will include:
- User-Centered Design: Utilize customer insights to drive the discovery, prototyping, testing, and design of solutions that are usable and align with our product vision
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with Product Managers, Engineers, and other stakeholders to deliver seamless, impactful, and valuable user experiences
- Research and Validation: Participate in regular product discovery and customer interviews alongside a Product Manager and Tech Lead, and conduct user research and usability testing–turning complex user needs into simple, intuitive design solutions
- Design Systems Maintenance: Contribute to and evolve our design system, creating new patterns and standards that elevate the overall product experience
- Strategic Thinking: Influence product strategy by aligning design goals and customer insights with business objectives, ensuring that user experience is a key driver in product development
- End-to-End Experience Design: From ideation to final design, you’ll create process flows, user journey maps, wireframes, prototypes, and high-fidelity designs that effectively communicate the intended user experience
Our take
Salary is no longer the main factor for most people when looking for the next step in their career. Employers have noticed and are keen to attract and retain the best talent through perks such as discounts, gym memberships, subsidised travel and childcare. But these schemes are expensive and inflexible, and often aren't met with much enthusiasm from candidates. Enter Fringe, a startup which allows employers to enroll in its scheme and which gives employees credits to spend on whatever they want across its vast network of partners.
This approach has boosted retention in the companies that have joined the platform, reducing turnover by 50%. Success has bred imitation and challengers have appeared, each with their own twist on Fringe's formula. However, Fringe has an established customer base including Shipt, Uber and Turo, and it has made strategic partnerships to bring the platform to more enterprise businesses.
In 2022, Fringe completed a funding round led by Origin Ventures and Felton Group. It plans to develop the product further, expand to new markets and invest in acquiring more software engineering and marketing talent.
