[Hiring] Fractional Product Designer @Clera

Role Description

Join an early-stage AI recruiting company as its first designer in a fractional role, contributing 10 to 20 hours per week. You will shape the product experience and establish design standards that guide the team as it builds.

• Own design across key product surfaces, from early concepts through shipped experiences.
• Establish design systems, standards, and documentation that help the team build consistently.
• Make product and design decisions with limited information, then iterate based on user feedback.
• Partner with product and engineering to implement designs and work through technical constraints.
• Use user research, usability testing, and qualitative feedback to inform design choices.

Qualifications

• At least 3 years of experience designing and shipping consumer or B2B products end to end.
• A functional portfolio showing shipped work, your problem-solving approach, and clear examples of product impact.
• Experience building design systems and documentation for product teams.
• Proficiency with Figma, Sketch, or Adobe XD for high-fidelity mockups and prototypes.
• Experience collaborating directly with product and engineering teams, including navigating technical constraints.
• Experience with modern desktop B2B or SaaS products; early-stage startup or fractional design experience is a plus.
• Familiarity with design-to-code handoff and HTML/CSS is helpful.
• Availability and compensation expectations suited to a 10 to 20 hour per week engagement.
