We’re looking for a Senior Product Designer to join our team in New York. As a Product Designer at BuzzFeed you’ll have the opportunity to work on a wide range of projects — from internal tooling, like our CMS and distribution tools to launching experiences for our consumer facing products, like the BuzzFeed site or the Tasty app. 

Senior Product Designers take design ownership of large projects and are leaders in their cross-discipline group. They assume responsibility for design quality across their immediate and adjacent product groups and collaborate with their group to define roadmaps and goals.

The Product Design team at BuzzFeed is made up of multidisciplinary designers, who are individually responsible for all aspects of design: user research, UX design, visual design, prototyping and, on the web, front-end implementation. Additionally, our designers are key collaborators when it comes to cross-disciplinary activities such as product discovery and A/B experiment definition, design and analysis. You can read more about our recruiting practices and our role documentation on Github. You can also read about our latest diversity numbers.

What you’ll be responsible for:

• Leading and executing all aspects of design in a cross-functional team, including: user research, UX design, visual design, and prototyping
• Fostering a collaborative, cross-disciplinary design process
• Leading the vision for your product area alongside Product, Engineering, and Data Science leads to inform your team’s roadmap
• Soliciting direct and impactful feedback from your manager, stakeholders, other designers, and cross-discipline team; filtering and prioritizing various types of feedback on your own and with your immediate cross-discipline team
• Providing direct and impactful feedback to other designers on the team, helping designers on adjacent product teams grow their skills
• Partnering with User Research and Data Science to define what qualitative and quantitative data will be important at the onset of a project and make changes based on data analysis

Who you are:

• You have experience designing products and features for web and apps 
• You have experience balancing a thoughtful design process with tight deadlines
• You have experience collaborating with people across multiple disciplines 
• You have experience providing thoughtful, direct, and clear design feedback
• You are interested in mentoring designers to grow their skills
• You enjoy working across all aspects of design, leading a project from conception through completion
• In addition to UX skills, you have strong visual skills and understanding of layout, typography, and visual hierarchy
