You will partner closely with cross-functional stakeholders, product teammates, fellow designers, and engineers on our remote team.

What You'll Do

  • Create intuitive design solutions for complex problems using any combination of process flows, wireframes, storyboards, documentation, visual mockups, and prototypes.
  • Collaborate with product managers and engineers throughout the product development process.
  • Partner with product managers to conduct and facilitate user research and validation.
  • Use data and customer feedback from research to support various design and product decisions.
  • Participate in design reviews to share and respectfully critique work with fellow designers.
  • Articulate your design solutions to stakeholders, peers, and executives for review and feedback.
  • Actively find ways to improve the Tropic platform and customer experience.
  • Become an expert on all things Tropic and the procurement process.

What You’ve Done

  • 4+ years of experience working as a product designer on B2B SaaS products.
  • Are an expert in Figma, auto-layout, components, and variants.
  • Experience reducing complex problems to scalable, easy-to-use, and understandable products.
  • A strong appreciation for design principles, especially ones of simplicity and consistency.
  • An understanding of front-end development and consideration of any technical restrictions when designing solutions.
  • Are a highly effective communicator who can use a combination of Slack, Loom, and various documentation tools to communicate with teammates.
  • An expert-level understanding of either UI or UX in relation to SaaS products.
  • A desire to go outside your comfort zone to take on new challenges and ask hard questions.
