Product Designer

As a Product Designer at Blackbullion, your primary role will be to create delightful experiences for our users. You’ll work as part of our Product Team to solve problems and design solutions for both our B2B audience and our student users, across our funding management system, online learning platform and other areas of the product as we expand our offering.

You’ll be joining an early stage startup team, working closely with, and reporting to, the Lead Product Designer. As you’ll be working in a small team, your role will have a large impact on the company and our users, and you’ll have plenty of opportunities to learn and expand your skills.

You’ll be involved in all stages of product development (discovery → delivery → iteration), from understanding the challenges of our users, feeding insight into deciding what features and experiences we need to build, prototyping and user testing, and creating high-fidelity designs for development.

This role would be best suited for a mid-level Product Designer, with at least 2 years experience.

Responsibilities

• Conduct user research with users (primarily our clients and university students) to understand user needs and identify opportunities.
• Create and test prototypes and end-to-end flows.
• Craft high-fidelity designs for development.
• Ensure the quality of design delivery within the Product team.
• Work closely with developers to implement solutions.
• Contribute to our living design system to ensure product consistency and scalability.
• Advocate for and amplify the voice of our users amongst our team.

• Demonstrated experience with end-to-end product design (UX & UI).
• Ability to tease out complex problems into simple solutions.
• Understand how to apply basic techniques for the analysis of research data and synthesis of findings.
• A predisposition for quality, user-friendly design, and a clean sense of visual design.
• The ability to understand technical implications of your design decisions.
• An understanding of how to design for a mobile responsive product.
• Knowledge of best practices around designing inclusive/accessible experiences.
• The ability to articulate and present design decisions to your team and stakeholders.

Bonus points

These are ideal but not absolute requirements, as a company focused on learning you’ll be given the training and support needed to develop into the role.

• Experience designing for a B2B user base.
• Familiarity with iOS and Android best practices for mobile applications.
• A good understanding of information architecture principles
