Lead Product UX/UI Designer
We're looking for a passionate UX/UI product designer to join our team at Pledge It. At Pledge It, we believe in the power of sport to drive powerful social impact. We empower athletes of all types – from professional athletes to fitness enthusiasts - to raise funds for amazing causes through their athletic activity. https://pledgeit.org/
As our lead designer, you’ll work closely with our product owner to set the vision for our overall user experience that will empower and inspire our community! You’ll have the opportunity to interact with customers to understand their pain points and uncover unmet needs. You’ll inspire what's possible by quickly producing multiple concepts, knowing when to apply attention to detail, and when to make low-fi sketches and prototypes. You'll also partner closely with our engineering team to find elegant but practical solutions to design challenges.
What you’ll do

- Create production-ready art assets and style guides for implementation by the development team
- Assist in collecting user feedback and usability testing to understand users needs and refine design concepts
- Ability to think long-term and short-term to meet the constraints of a continuous release process while iterating toward a future vision.
- You have a user-focused design mentality and are constantly looking to sharpen your instincts through user feedback and insight.
- Ask smart questions, take risks and champion new ideas.
Who you are
- Three or more years of UX design experience. Preference will be given to candidates who have experience designing mobile solutions for B2C applications
- A strong understanding of web and mobile UI standards, usability, and practical experience in the design and development of user interfaces for web and mobile applications.
- Expert user of prototyping and wireframing tools such as InVision, Sketch Photoshop or Zeplin for presenting and sharing your ideas
- Ability to think at a high level about product strategy and vision but also have a sharp eye for detail.
