About Narrativ

Narrativ is the marketplace for unbiased product recommendations by experts on the open web. We exponentially increase match rate and augment commerce content with real time conversion data—turning honest recommendations from expert voices into a brand safe, multi-billion dollar acquisition channel.

Demand for expert recommendations has exploded, surpassing the need for simple price comparison and ushering in the era of the Intentional Shopper. This is a lean in, high intent shopper who seeks the whole story to find the products best suited to her individual needs.

Our product graph—100M+ products mapped to all of the rich stories about them and over $26B of live purchase data —powers our high match rate. Our market research tools help editors author better, higher converting product recommendations.

Why we’re special:

  • Ambitious technology: Our technology mines and organizes the world’s product data in a way that’s useful (rather than intrusive) for consumers. We built a product graph featuring 80mm SKUs enriched with $20bn of monthly cart data, making it the largest database of products matched to product recommendation.
  • Talented team: Fast Company recently named Narrativ one of the 50 best workplaces for innovators, fashion disruptor by Financial Times, and a technology pioneer by the World Economic Forum. We’re here to pursue greatness, embrace challenge and relentlessly improve every day.
  • Fast growth: Narrativ drove $50mm in revenue for partners like Sephora, Nordstrom, Ulta Beauty, Chanel, Goop, Revolve, and more.

Join us for the opportunity to impact billions of shoppers on our mission to improve the value of every recommendation -- to create a better Internet for shoppers.

The Job:

Narrativ is looking to hire a UX Designer to join our Product Organization. In this role, you will be responsible for all tasks associated with user research, interviews and testing and design on both large and small scale solutions. As a practitioner, you will work closely with external stakeholders on our client teams while working internally with our talented visual designers, engineering and product organization.

Above all, we’re looking for someone with a fast-paced and agile approach, who quickly develops wireframes and prototypes, rapidly iterates on them to refine the product within a creative and rapidly-changing environment. Our team is hard-working, collaborative, and committed to quality. We believe that we can build a better platform together. We’re Smart. Ambitious. Nice. We don’t see any of those as contradictions. 

Responsibilities:

This is an exciting opportunity for an entrepreneurial UX Designer to work closely with our product team to build out and own our product design process. This person will be expected to deeply understand Narrativ’s customers through user interviews, and design beautiful products they use every day.

What You'll Do:

  • You'll work with designers, product managers and engineers to deliver compelling UX solutions.
  • You'll own the customer interview pipeline/process across the entire product lifecycle, and report back to the rest of the business with your findings
  • Together with your cross-functional partners, you'll help set the vision for the user experience and create the space for others to collaborate.
  • You love thinking about the big picture while applying thoughtful user workflows to all features and functionality within our products.
  • You have a user centered approach to problem solving and are always thinking outside of the box for creative solutions.
  • You'll produce an array of divergent approaches informed by a confluence of user needs, business objectives and technical capabilities.

Who You Are:

  • BA/BS degree or equivalent experience.
  • You have 5+ years experience delivering great user experiences for shipped products.
  • You are passionate about design systems and well-versed in data-informed product design and development.
  • You have conducted countless user interviews and have different tools / interviews scripts you can deploy
  • You have experience building excellent products with engineers and product managers.
  • You enjoy all stages of app design, from sketching concepts to polishing interfaces.
  • You have a people-focused design mentality.
  • You are constantly looking to hone your executions through user feedback, user research, or by designing options for an A/B test.
  • You care about the impact of your work.
  • You have experience tracking usage of the things you build, and using the data collected to verify its effectiveness.
  • You're a fantastic team player, communicator and facilitator.
  • You have the communication skills and people-focused design mentality to help set up frameworks and brainstorm initial design concepts.
  • An online portfolio, or PDF of your work is preferred
