Product Designer, Mobile

From our employee experience to our products, design matters at Sprout Social. We’re looking for Product Designers to join our team as we continue to build beautiful, helpful and easy-to-use software that powers human connection.

As a Mobile Product Designer at Sprout Social, you’ll be surrounded by smart, ambitious and caring teammates that want to build great things, together. You’ll own device experiences of key areas in our software. From project kickoff to release, you’ll have your hand in the direction of what we make, how we make it and how we tell its story. You’ll put all of your design skills on display. Even better: you’ll learn new ones along the way.

Collaboration and partnership is key for everyone working at Sprout Social. In Product Design, you’ll partner with other designers, engineers, writers, marketers and product executives. With our feedback-driven culture, you’ll run workshops to get project input while offering helpful advice of your own to others.

As a Mobile Product Designer, we’re looking to see you flex your understanding of business, users and use cases in addition to designing mobile UI. We work in modern environments. We’re excited to trade tips on Sketch. We can’t wait to see your prototypes in Axure, InVision, Keynote or even code. Hopefully we’ll learn new design practices from you, too!

We’re looking for Mobile Product Designers with a strong background in visual design that have passions and skills in these areas:

  • Designing for user needs across various devices
  • Proficiency on the latest Android and iOS platforms
  • Advocating for and applying mobile accessibility best practices
  • Building and scaling mobile design systems
  • Creating prototypes for mobile and responsive experiences
  • Collaborating with and supporting other designers in mobile design practices
  • Proactively iterating through designs based on peer and user feedback

 As well as designers that have a great track record of:

  • Shipping high quality mobile work into the world
  • Communicating openly and authentically
  • Collaborating across teams and departments inside and outside of Design
  • Actively participating in design reviews, research, and other design rituals
  • Turning insights into informed user experiences
  • Developing design rationale, explaining design decisions to teammates and stakeholders

We’re a proud bunch. Last year alone, our design team was honored as business leaders in design with AIGA Chicago and profiled with InVision. We’re looking forward to you adding your own influence to all that we do.

Within 1 month, you will...

  • Experience Sprout’s in-depth onboarding, covering everything from our company mission and values, hear directly from executives and founders, to deep training on our products and the value that Sprout delivers to our customers.
  • Make a plan with your manager to set initial priorities, align on expectations for your role, plant goalposts for your career, and learn about Sprout’s approach to building products.
  • Meet all of the designers on our team, getting a lowdown on our design system, tools and file structures, and learn how Product Design partners with every other organization in the company.
  • Get to know everyone within our product organization, start relationships with our Brand Creative team, and form important bonds with other Product Designers, Product Managers and Engineers.
  • Learn how Sprout has done things to date, and think about how we make our Product Design team and processes even better going forward!

Within 3 months, you will…

  • Attend product planning, stand-ups and all other productive rituals across the wide range of teams you’ll be a part of.
  • Talk to customers, collaborate with your team and begin designing real world work!
  • Take advantage of Sprout’s ‘Focus Days’—a day dedicated to no meetings so everyone can focus on the work that we’ve committed to.
  • Collaborate with other designers and produce mobile solutions
  • Contribute to the mobile design system
  • resent your work with partners across Design, Engineering and Product Management and executives.
  • Influence Product Design team initiatives that help advance our practice and improve our efficiency and effectiveness as a team.
  • Share your own tactics, processes, and favorite things about being a maker while geeking out with fellow designers, writers, animators, and editors within the broader Design organization at Sprout.

Within 6 months, you will…

  • Continue career conversations with your manager and make sure you’re working not just toward the goals of the company, but your personal growth goals as well.
  • Further your influence in our design and product strategy as you learn more about our customers and industry.
  • Help grow Sprout’s mobile design best practices and resources.
  • Participate in design workshops with engineers, product managers, and other people around the company to collaborate on defining and designing great user experiences.
  • Ship work into the world and get real user feedback so that we can continue to make our work even better.

Within 12 months, you will…
