UX/UI Design Manager
Fohr has cultivated a large network of social media brand managers and social media influencers over the past seven years through our industry-leading products. Product design managers act as stewards of Fohr's products and are given access to the resources and assistance they need to help increase usage, consistency, and clarity of our products.
We are looking for a design manager who has a passion for social media and understands the importance of leveraging it to expand brand and influencer's goals. They will be overseeing two of our most important offerings, Fohr.co, and our internal campaign tool. These products have a huge potential for growth and we are looking for someone who can partner on a vision to see it come to life.
A product design manager's role at Fohr is to help improve the products under their leadership through:
- Manage internal and external design resources
- Architect and implement reusable design system
- Drive clear user experiences
- Inspire their team with a passion for their product
One way success could be painted is:
Strategize
Over the past two weeks, you've worked with the product managers, designers, engineers, and stakeholders to build a clearer scope for the upcoming features and products. To do so you've partnered on user journeys, built low fidelity designs to drive clarity, and presented a design budget per feature. When scopes were locked you built and delegated tasks for your team and communicated how the expanding design system library would be used .
Execute
Over the course of six weeks, you've worked together with your design team on building out versions of the features. You and your team drive confidence across product design decisions through documented research and data. Throughout that time you've worked closely with your team to help make sure the designs are consistent with existing design systems and the features KPIs. You've ensured as the design has been passed to engineering that processes are in place to give clear direction and have built opportunities for your team to meet with engineers to Q/A the work.
Learn
You spend the next two weeks after the features are released working to actualize the design budgets and monitoring the usage KPI's using a mix of Google Analytics, Hotjar, and Mixpanel. You'll use this information to request tweaks for the next product cycle.
