Role
Who you are

- 5+ years of experience designing mobile apps for iOS and Android
- Significant experience leading early-stage research and problem space definition
- Strong storytelling and presentation skills; able to rally teams around design ideas

What the job involves
- We’re looking for a Staff Product Designer to join our team and lead the strategic design of industry-shaping experiences across our mobile and web platforms
- You’ll take on highly ambiguous challenges, connect the dots across systems and workflows, and help bring clarity and vision to product development at scale
- This role can be primarily remote with occasional in-office collaboration days at our Palo Alto, CA location

- Own the Problem Space: Make sure all projects are tackling the right problem
- Conduct generative user research to uncover opportunities, test hypotheses, and guide product discovery from the ground up
- Deliver Mobile Experiences: Own end-to-end experiences across iOS and Android, including core functionality and new surface areas
- Improve Design Operations: Advance our playbooks, patterns, and frameworks to improve the quality, speed, and ease of our design team's customer-centric process
- Shape Business Strategy: Collaborate with senior leaders in Product, Engineering, and Data to shape roadmaps, prioritize user needs, and define how design drives business impact
- Mentor and Inspire: Support the growth of Senior Designers through informal leadership, feedback, and cross-functional influence
Our take
Owner-operators make up 9% of the truckers on the road, in other words 680,000 small businesses forming the backbone of the U.S’s crucial trucking industry. However, only big fleets get major fuel discounts because they have large gallon volumes, leaving these self-employed truckers to pay full price.
Mudflap is bringing those savings to owner-operators & small fleets. When drivers sign up for the app, they join tens of thousands of users which Mudflap then leverages to drive sales for truck stops which offer discounts on fuel in return. It’s a smart model which massively simplifies the process for earning discounts compared to the old route of a fuel card which requires a credit check.
Stop managers could be sceptical about working with mobile payments in return for a promise of increased demand. However, the company provides its entire network with a Mudflap tablet through which to handle all payment transactions within the network, making it easy for whoever is behind the counter.
