Senior Product Designer, Avail

About the Role:

A Product Designer plays an integral role in the performance and operation of a product squad at Avail. You will partner directly with your Product Manager and engineers from start to finish: initial research and understanding of user problems, scoping, creation of user journeys, and polished pixels shipped to the landlords and renters who use Avail every day. Product Designers should be comfortable performing most duties throughout the full design process of a product or feature in their squad is shipping. You will have stronger skills in some areas than others (stronger visual chops than research prowess, for example), and that's fine. What matters is that you want to keep learning. You will need to work closely with your Product Manager and engineers to provide quick, iterative design solutions through the full product lifecycle, from ideation and just enough research to polished pixels. You will be the primary designer on your squad. Senior design resources will be assigned as mentors to help you grow, collaborate with you, and push your craft forward.
