As a Senior Product Designer, you will:

• Own the end-to-end design process for your squad, from problem discovery to research, iteration, and final implementation.
• Analyse user behaviour using Mixpanel and identify opportunities to improve product engagement and retention.

• Collaborate closely with PMs and engineers to ensure design decisions are well-informed, feasible, and drive measurable impact.
• Help shape the design culture at Kit by improving workflows, documentation, and cross-functional collaboration practices.
• Advocate for a more structured approach to design by introducing best practices for validation, usability testing, and iterative improvements.

Requirements

• A track record of delivering impactful solutions on complex web applications.
• Experience connecting their work to product metrics and business goals.
• 5+ years of experience as a product designer working on SaaS applications or other complex web-based software.
• A portfolio that demonstrates how your design decisions were informed by research or data insights and the impact they had on user experience andor business outcomes.
• Experience facilitating workshops, brainstorming and scope refinement sessions, etc. and working closely with product managers and engineers to align design solutions with business and user needs.
• Proficiency in Figma and working with and contributing to an established design system.
• Experience conducting user research activities such as interviews, usability testing, and surveys to inform design decisions.
• Experience using analytics tools (such as Mixpanel, FullStory, or similar) to identify usability issues and measure the impact of design changes.
• Excellent time management skills with the ability to prioritize your workload effectively to deliver high-quality work on time with minimal supervision.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills with the ability to effectively articulate design concepts and rationale to stakeholders at all levels.
• A few hours of overlap with EST. Whilst we try to keep scheduled meetings to a minimum, for this role, it’s essential you attend planning and retro meetings with your colleagues. Typically, these will occur between 9am to 2pm EST.
