About this role
Andela is a global talent marketplace connecting customers with top technical talent. As the Staff Product Designer, you will lead complex design challenges and shape user experiences while collaborating closely with product and engineering teams.
Responsibilities:
- Lead the design of complex, multi-sided marketplace flows
- Act as a peer to Product and Engineering
- Oversee the evolution of our component library to ensure accessibility, consistency, and a world-class aesthetic
- Use qualitative research and quantitative data to validate your hypotheses
- Elevate the output of the design team through rigorous design reviews, workshops, and the introduction of new methodologies
- Act as a "Force Multiplier." You will lead design sprints, conduct high-level critiques, and mentor Senior Designers to help them reach the next level of their careers
Requirements:
- 10+ years in Product Design, with a significant track record of delivering high-impact B2B, SaaS, or Marketplace products
- You have a deep understanding of how design scales. You can think through edge cases, global localization, and complex state management without needing to see it in code first
- Mastery of the 'pitch.' You can articulate the ROI of design to non-design stakeholders and build consensus across a global, async organization
- Expert-level Figma skills, including advanced prototyping, auto-layout, and library management
- You think like a Product Manager. You understand trade-offs, technical constraints, and how to ship 'Minimum Viable Products' (MVP) to learn fast
- Experience of Figma paired with professional-grade proficiency in React.js, TypeScript, and CSS-in-JS (or Tailwind)
- Bachelor's degree in Business, Engineering, Computer Science, or related field; MBA or advanced degree preferred
- 3+ years in a marketplace, platform, or multi-sided network business model
- 2+ years managing or mentoring direct reports
- Experience leading cross-functional initiatives across Engineering, Operations, and commercial teams in a remote or distributed organization
