[Hiring] Senior Product Designer @Buildout

Role Description

We’re looking for a Senior Product Designer who has a proven track record of shipping thoughtful workflows and experiences curated through rapid user research (qualitative, quantitative, ethnographic) and is able to build trust amongst the team, lead with a vision, drive quality, foster a collaborative environment, and iterate quickly on taking ideas to reality. If you love what you do and want to work in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment that will challenge you to do your best, then we’d love to meet you. Your contributions will have a direct impact on the growth of Buildout and you can bring your passion for great products to the table every day.

How You’ll Contribute

• Design thoughtful user experiences that make the complexities of broker and brokerage operations easy to navigate and understand.
• Help bring new products to market and shape the commercial real estate industry.
• Work closely with Product Managers to help define product vision and strategy and conduct self-managed UX research to discover or validate the impact of a feature you are working on for our customers.
• Be the voice-of-the-customer within your product focus, and clearly communicate your design decisions to stakeholders to help build user empathy throughout the organization.
• Craft useful and usable experiences through diagrams, sketches, wireframes, prototypes, and visual designs that allow stakeholders to see the user journey through new product features & solutions, then handoff to our software developers and validate that the implementation matches your vision.
• Partner with another designer to co-maintain a high-fidelity interactive prototype that acts as the team's shared source of truth for customer validation, stakeholder alignment, and sales demos.
• Sync regularly with your design partner to keep the prototype coherent as it grows, aligning on patterns, components, and conventions so it reads as one product with a shared design language.
• Help us build and maintain relevant personas for your product(s) and leverage research to review them periodically.
• Build confidence for your design vision based on an understanding of the personas and intended outcomes.
• Participate in weekly UX meetings to share ideas and exchange feedback.
• Mentor a small team of UX and Product Designers.
• Take the work, but not yourself, seriously.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of professional experience in UX/UI as a user experience designer or product designer with a strong portfolio of design projects including detailed descriptions of your design process.
• Experience with a SaaS product portfolio and new product introduction.
• Working knowledge of web technologies and their constraints, and a passion for creating complex systems and keeping them well maintained.
• Comfortable building interactive prototypes with AI-assisted tools, or eager to learn. No software development background required.
• Comfortable leading and assisting in user research activities, design sprints, and workshops.
• Expertise in Figma, and be knowledgeable of UX/UI standards, protocols, and methodologies for both responsive and mobile app design to take incomplete requirements and produce consistent, usable wireframes and high fidelity mockups.
• Comfortable embracing uncertainty and challenging the team with new ideas.
• Experience working in a startup is a plus, but not required.
• Commercial Real Estate experience is a plus, but not required.
