About the role

ConsenSys is looking for a Senior Product Designer to help drive new products in the Digital Asset and DeFi space. As a Product Designer, you will be responsible for:

• Leading a collaborative design process from conception to launch: partner with small, global teams of engineers, product managers, and researchers to identify user needs, define product strategy, and create roadmaps
• Develop storyboards, prototypes, and high-fidelity visual design to communicate interaction and design ideas effectively
• Actively give and solicit feedback from other designers to continually raise the bar for quality
• Evangelize design and product thinking methodology
• Fearlessly take on highly complex problem areas and then publish what you learn
• Grow a design team as products mature

What we ask for:

• You have 2-4 years of experience working as a product designer on agile teams
• Experience working with product design tools like Figma, Sketch, Whimsical, or similar
• You have solved complex problems with an elegant, shipped product—evidenced in an online portfolio featuring end-to-end product design
• You demonstrate product vision and use data and experimentation to provide product direction.
• While you may not have a branding or marketing background, you understand customer experience and the relationship between brand and product design
• You’re excellent at articulating design decisions, presenting to clients or stakeholders
• You’re effective at prototyping at varying levels of fidelity
• You demonstrate solid leadership skills and an ability to develop strong partnerships with product managers and engineers
• A strong portfolio that contains not just final solutions, but the iterative artifacts which demonstrates your thinking, as well as your role within that process

Even better if:

• You’re interested in or have experience with decentralized applications and blockchain
• You’re interested in or have experience designing for financial applications
• Willing to travel occasionally to meet global clients or conduct research
• You have experience at both large organizations and start-ups
• You can facilitate design thinking workshops
• You enjoy some amount of ambiguity and freedom to experiment
• You’ve built or worked with design systems
• You have experience animating interactions and UI elements
• You have front-end development experience
