The Role

The product you will be shaping is a one-of-a-kind platform that empowers our customers to effortlessly create high-end digital experiences. With this comes the opportunity to work on very unique and open-ended use cases within our creation-focused studio tool as well as redefining the end-to-end creative workflow all the way from planning, designing and reviewing to publishing and accessing performance analytics. Working at Ceros is a unique opportunity to push your capabilities and skills as a product designer and impact the future of digital content creation at scale.  

The Principal Product Designer at Ceros is a very senior and hands-on role within the product design team. We are looking for a designer with in-depth experience in solving highly complex and unique UX problems, while applying exceptional UI design skills and a mature strategic mindset to drive impactful and intuitive experiences at the highest execution level.

You are used to successfully balance multiple initiatives, equally focusing on perfecting the near-term aspects of the product as well as bringing to life longer-term strategic initiatives. While you are comfortable working as an individual, you equally know how to lead collaborative projects with a hands-on attitude. You are highly respected within and beyond the product teams and broader organization.

As a member of a remote first team, you embrace transparency and collaboration. You are proactive.

Design Skills that make you a great fit for the role:

• Experience Expertise. You are endlessly curious about your customers and apply user-centricity and empathy to everything that you are doing. You are fluent in translating research into actionable insights, informing strategic product decisions and relevant design solutions. 
• Design Depth.  You have a long track record of translating highly complex and unique platform challenges into simplified frameworks and design solutions. You successfully use data in your decision making process and work very systematically and creatively both within and outside of existing design systems.
• Outcome Obsession. You are highly focused on your design craft and are considered to be a top player in the UX and UI design space, with an ambition and ability to push the quality of execution across a diverse set of projects ranging from tactical to highly strategic. 
• Future Foresight. You are comfortable with ambiguity and excited to tackle strategic challenges. You live and breathe the product roadmap and are an expert in blending insight and data with a strong product intuition to make future-focused design decisions.
• Trusted Team-Player. You are a great collaborator as much as very comfortable to work independently and with a high degree of autonomy. You are well respected by your peers, confident in presenting and defending your designs, and you love mentoring junior designers.
