Senior Product Designer
Superside is looking for a driven Senior Product Designer to help us build a cohesive design system with a forward-thinking approach.
Becoming a part of our Product Design team in the Tech, Product & Design department, you’ll play a key role in designing Superside's collaboration and project management platform—Superspace—that helps our customers "unbottleneck" their creative needs.

- Design and implement our Design System guaranteeing visual consistency (branding, typography, icons, etc.) and scalability
- Collaborate with the Product Manager to ensure a full understanding of the problem, our users and product vision
- Design solutions based on qualitative and quantitative analytics to build an easy-to-use system with the highest level of craft and execution
- Identify opportunities for improvement and collaborate on data-informed experiments to validate the team's hypotheses
- Develop different types of prototypes to iterate solutions with the team, stakeholders and users
- Conduct user interviews and guide usability tests and facilitate workshop sessions with users and internal stakeholders
- Communicate with our engineering team to design feasible solutions
- Maintain and update comprehensive documentation

- Business-oriented, data-driven, detail-oriented and autonomous mindset
- Ability to communicate your ideas, concepts and insights clearly
