Description
The Fetch Product Design team is responsible for the entire design of the Fetch app—from user experience design to creative direction and production. Our goal is to deliver a fun experience that our shoppers (and partners) love and can’t live without.
Fetch is looking for experienced Group Product Designers to join our team. You will be working within a focused, balanced team; it is your responsibility to lead efforts that measurably improve people’s lives. You will guide our team’s culture through mentorship and thought leadership. You will help Fetch level up by infusing user-centered practices into your Collective and across the organization.
Product designers at Fetch must be…
- Risk-takers. You’ve got ample room to fail and no time to play it safe.
- Endlessly curious. You never hesitate to ask “why” and tirelessly seek out innovative solutions.
- Expert collaborators. You are equally comfortable working side-by-side with executive stakeholders, teammates, and non-technical colleagues as you are with your fellow designers.
- UI craftspeople. A background in visual design is not required but a well-practiced eye for detail & aesthetics absolutely is. Your shipped mobile app work needs to knock our socks off.
- Radically scrappy. You thrive in ambiguity and won’t hesitate to get exactly what you need to keep moving ahead. You can get stuff done!
- Team-players. Our secret sauce is our team dynamic; we don’t have time for egos.
By month 3 you will…
- Have 1-4 direct reports inside your Collective (a group of multi-disciplinary teams focused on the same problem space) and coach them in:
- Design strategy and continuous discovery
- World-class UI design
- Strategic, user-centered research & usability testing
- Get acquainted with the existing roadmap and vision
- Learn our design process by contributing as an individual designer:
- To our design system, Frisbee
- Facilitate design critiques
- Practice Design QA amongst the Collective
- Set the routine for your collective to deliver great design
By month 6 you will…
- Own the Design vision and strategy of your collective in collaboration with Product and Engineering
- Create a design roadmap with the designers in the collective that aligns with the vision and strategy
- Identify gaps in Frisbee that the Collective must change:
- Accessibility misses, components to build, guidelines to create, and components that should be consolidated
- Actively drive research:
- Coaching designers on usability testing, strategic research, and wide lens research
- Contribute to a long-term vision (6+ months) for your collective
By year 1 you will…
- Coach designers across many collectives
- Educate packs in your Collective on design best practices, especially those without a dedicated designer
- Create a high-functioning design practice for your Collective
We’re looking for people who have:
- Player-coach leadership experience
- 2+ years people management experience for product design team(s) or organization(s)
- Must have been for a consumer product at some point
- 8+ years of relevant experience, consumer mobile app design experience required
- Exceptional eye for detail
- Experience with Figma
- Experience coaching designers on building research into their practice
- Experience partnering with animators and illustrators
- Bonus if you have experience working with Rive and/or Lottiefiles
- Technical acumen and experience designing for complex problems and tools
- Ability to self-direct and lean on their prioritization methods to get their work done in a fast-paced, startup environment
- Experience designing, building, maintaining, and implementing design systems
