About this role
Ground News is a platform that makes it easy to compare news sources and engage critically with media. They are seeking a Senior Product Designer to own features from concept to production, lead design work across web and mobile, and collaborate closely with cross-functional teams.
Responsibilities:
- Own features from early concept through shipped product, including research, interaction design, visual design, and prototyping
- Lead visual and motion design work across web and mobile, with a high bar for craft and attention to detail
- Manage and evolve the Figma component library and design system, ensuring consistency and scalability across a redesigning product
- Design for complexity; making dense information and nuanced features feel intuitive and accessible
- Assist in user research, bringing a data-informed perspective to what problems are worth solving and why
- Collaborate closely and clearly with engineering, product, and leadership; communicating design rationale with precision and nuance
- Bring an ethical, experimentation-based perspective on where AI fits in the design workflow
Requirements:
- Exceptional visual and interaction design skills, demonstrated through a thoughtful portfolio that shows both craft and solid design thinking
- Hands-on experience managing design systems and component libraries at scale (Figma proficiency expected)
- Motion design sensibility: You think about animation as a communication tool
- Experience designing products that simplify complex information for a broad audience
- Fluency with lean research methods; you know how to move fast and stay informed by users' feedback
- Comfort working across both native mobile (iOS/Android) and web
- Strong cross-functional collaboration and ability to articulate design decisions clearly to engineers, PMs, and non-designers alike
- A point of view on AI in design workflows, built on real professional experience and experimentation
- Interest in news, media literacy, and/or experience working with content-driven products
