Senior Product Designer

New York, NY, hybrid
Date:

Overview

Placement Type:

Temporary

Salary:

$60-70/hr, W2

Start Date:

06.02.2025

Our client, a leading global consumer-focused platform, is seeking a Senior Product Designer to join their product organization as a consultant. 

This is a high-impact opportunity for a strategic designer who thrives in collaborative, fast-paced environments and wants to help scale an emerging platform that is redefining how business partners manage inventory and connect with consumers.

This is not a generalist role or a solo designer position. You will be embedded within a cross-functional product team, working in tight collaboration with a Product Owner and full-stack engineers to shape outcomes through design. 

You’ll also contribute foundational work for a growing design system, helping to evolve tools, patterns, and heuristics that support scalability across the broader platform.

What You’ll Be Working On

Platform Mission: You’ll help design a seamless, intuitive Point of Sale (POS) platform that enables business partners to easily manage their inventory, process transactions, and access real-time insights—across devices and locations.

  • Real-time portfolio insights
  • Intuitive navigation
  • Comprehensive reporting
  • Scalable cross-device functionality

Your design work will support a platform that must scale across sellers, devices, and geographies—anytime, anywhere, by anyone.

User-Centric Collaboration:
You will work in partnership with users, incorporating them into the design process where appropriate. In this relatively captive, complex space, close collaboration with business partners is key to refining the platform and establishing foundational design principles.

Strategic Design & Data-Informed Innovation:
You’ll apply a hypothesis-driven design approach, combining proprietary data, pricing tools, and market insights to push innovation forward. This approach helps differentiate the platform from stalled competitors, creating a defensible moat through better design.

Design Impact at Multiple Levels:
This role offers many opportunities—from strategic product design and generative research to tactical UI/UX delivery and design system evolution. You’ll help guide not only individual features but also the broader platform strategy and design maturity.

 

Who We’re Looking For

This role is for a seasoned product designer (consultant level) ready to stretch across a broad spectrum of responsibilities and help define the platform’s next growth phase.

Must-Have Experience

  • 5+ years of professional product design experience, including 2+ years leading large-scale initiatives.
  • Proven track record launching enterprise or consumer SaaS platforms that manage complex workflows and large data sets.
  • Strong portfolio showcasing ability to translate ambiguity into intuitive, scalable digital experiences.
  • Demonstrated success collaborating closely with product owners and engineers as part of a tight-knit product trio.
  • Experience working across multiple form factors and platforms (desktop, Android, iOS).
  • Skilled in using quantitative and qualitative insights to shape and validate design decisions.
  • Deep fluency with industry-standard design and prototyping tools (e.g., Figma, Sketch, Principle).
  • Comfortable with fast-paced, iterative development cycles and shifting priorities.
  • Experience contributing to or evolving design systems.
  • Bachelor’s degree in HCI, Interaction Design, or a related discipline, or equivalent practical experience.

Preferred Qualities

  • Strategic thinker with an appetite for complexity.
  • Strong communicator and collaborative partner.
  • Proactive, curious, and resilient in the face of ambiguity.
  • Eager to drive both vision and execution.
     

Why This Role Stands Out

  • Join a fast-growing team with a proven product and ambitious plans for platform expansion.
  • Shape the foundations of a maturing design system and contribute to core platform heuristics.
  • Influence product strategy, business growth, and user outcomes—from 0 to 1 and beyond.
  • Work with supportive, mission-driven colleagues who move quickly with conviction.

The target hiring compensation range for this role is $60 to $70/hr. Compensation is based on several factors including, but not limited to education, relevant work experience, relevant certifications, and location.
