Senior Product Designer

Overtime is looking for a Senior Product Designer to join our growing design team.  We are a team made up of creative and smart designers who like to think differently. We are passionate about our work and the well-being of each other. You will mainly be part of the core mobile app design team that develops new features; from visualizing early ideas, to making sure what we give to users is awesome and exciting. This role may also include support for other design needs such as digital, interactive, print, illustration and apparel.

Our team is currently working remotely, so you’ll start out working from home, and eventually transition to working in our New York office when it reopens to the whole staff.

What you’ll do 

• Own the entire process of design features for the Overtime App, with a special eye towards UX
• Wireframe and develop new features and guide them through to completion with the help of junior designers, but also sometimes getting your hands dirty and designing the entire feature yourself
• Work closely and collaboratively with the Design Director and Project managers
• Manage relationship with dev team up to the CTO level and make sure teams are working closely together
• Design test your work and log bugs
• Participate in our weekly design critiques 
• Execute projects from ideation to delivery efficiently and at a high level — This includes scheduling design reviews, helping the rest of the team prep, making sure we move fast and no timelines slip
• Explore diverse areas of focus that are non-obvious to gather inspiration — Be different
• Embody strong team leadership and contribute to the team by actively listening, communicating with each member, mentoring, giving feedback, and inspiring others. 
• Foster a sense of community amongst the design team, other departments, clients and beyond

Who You Are

• 5+ years of professional product design experience for social and consumer-facing products across multiple platforms (desktop and mobile)

• Familiarity with content, social media culture, and Gen Z audience behaviors
• Ridiculously good at thinking like a user. You know how to ask users the right questions and tap into their truest desires.  You understand them deeply, can get under their skin, and really feel their experience with the app.

• An advanced knowledge of iOS and general mobile design
• You enjoy working really closely with developers, and completely understand how they think and solve problems. You’ve never met a developer you couldn’t connect and work with
• Awesome prototyping and presentation skills
• Strong sense of typography
• You can reason your way through a logic puzzle better than ANYONE. You’re the designer who is great at breaking down the implications of different solutions we could pursue, communicating the pros and cons of these various solutions, and driving the team to a solution
• Passionate, humble, motivated to continue learning
• Located in greater New York City area or willing to relocate post-COVID
• Experience with games and game design is a HUGE plus — many features you design will involve thinking about implications to the game design
