Product Design Lead collaborating across design processes for educational solutions at Top Hat. Engaging with users and product managers to iterate and ship features in a remote environment.
Responsibilities
Spend lots of time with professors and students: hearing from them directly about their challenges and aspirations.
Collaborate with product managers often: articulating which problems are worth solving and finding solutions.
Iterate on concepts: exploring lots of ideas in a low & high fidelity while getting feedback from designers, your team, and users.
Ship features often: Top Hat believes in true agile; shipping small and frequent updates to our products. You’ll be collaborating directly with engineers to ensure your designs are built to a high standard of quality.
Add to our team process: As a senior contributor, you’ll have opinions on how design systems and components should support the userbase. You’ll collaborate with the rest of our design organization to improve our processes and design systems—including recent advancements with AI.
Requirements
Minimum of 5 years of experience working as a product designer (or similar role: UX Designer, Visual Designer, etc.)
You’ve experienced the full design process: from shipping to stakeholder management; you’ve understood people, defined problems, iterated on concepts, and shipped solutions.
You have a good intuition for visual design: you know how to use typography/colour/spacing to lay out an interface and understand how these decisions relate to a great user experience.
You’re excited about designing accessible products: you have exposure to the ideas of inclusive design and are excited to build interfaces that work for everyone. Familiarity with WCAG 2.1 AA is a plus.
You take initiative beyond your role: you’re excited to grow your craft beyond your day-to-day work and have examples where you’ve made this happen.
Experience maintaining design systems: you’ve helped systematize design in your current role and are excited to grow your capabilities in this space.
Curiosity for what AI means to design: you’ve gotten your hands dirty with AI; image generation, prototyping, and/or copy production. You see AI as a tool that will evolve the design process in tech (not replace it)
Comfort with interaction design: you’re able to look beyond just screens and think through the details of more complex (and often non-linear) interactions and animations.
Excited about usability: you’re interested in applying common usability heuristics to your designs or conducting usability benchmarks.
