As a Product Designer at Namely, you’ll have direct impact on Namely’s business through design ownership of every aspect of Namely’s platform (think payroll, benefits, time, integrations, data and analytics and many more ways to build a better HR platform). Namely is one company of many products, so the opportunity to learn a wide variety of disciplines of design and HR domain are vast.

You’ll be embedded in a close knit group of product managers and engineerings and paired with a strong senior level designer that will show you the ropes and get you well positioned to learn agile, how to collaborate effectively with engineers, both here in New York and internationally, and be given interesting problems to solve. Namely has numerous customer and user personas, which makes solving for tasks like “running payroll” and “hiring a new employee” huge opportunities for big impact with great user experience.

Responsibilities

• Collaborate with Product Managers, engineers, and other members of the design team to create user-centered design solutions for Namely’s products
• Conduct user research, testing, analysis to drive design decisions
• Own the end-to-end design process, from wireframes to high-fidelity mockups, and the implementation of those designs with front-end engineers
• Execute simple and beautiful design that combines intuitive UX with fine visual details into a cohesive product that’s so good, you can’t help but brag about it (even though you’re typically a pretty humble person)
• Demonstrate and communicate designs across departments and stakeholders with clarity and conviction. 
• Grow your design chops in a collaborative team bursting with talented product designers

Requirements

• 3-5 years of experience as a user experience designer, interaction designer, or similar UX-related role with accompanying experience in visual/graphic design
• A teachable and proactive mindset. You’re eager to get feedback and see yourself grow as a product designer.
• The ability to give more than you take. You’ll be expected to vocalize your ideas, ask questions and push your fellow teammates forward to better designs.
• A strong understanding of user-centered design methods and principles. You have a natural instinct that knows where to focus more time and energy in the experience and you’re collaborate in your approach when standing up for the user.
• Attention to detail and a natural curiosity that leads to a comprehensive user experience. You’ll be eager to teach yourself the platform, test out existing functionality, and pitch ideas of how to make it better - calling out small improvements to be made that make end to end experiences that much better.
• Ability to prioritize and work effectively on multiple projects in a collaborative team of designers, product managers, and developers
• Fluency in Sketch, Zeplin, and prototyping with a tool such as Invision
• Strong ability to communicate your design vision through verbal and written explanation, sketching, or quick mock ups to small or large groups, from designers to executives
