Senior Product Designer

Sparrow is the first high-tech, high-touch employee leave management solution. They are seeking a Senior Product Designer to design thoughtful, high-quality experiences across key areas of the product, driving end-to-end design processes and collaborating closely with Product and Engineering.

Responsibilities:

• Own end-to-end design for product features and workflows—from discovery to flows, UI, interaction details, and shipped outcomes
• Design for operational complexity: create experiences that handle edge cases, regulatory nuance, and real-world processes without overwhelming users
• Work across multiple personas: understand user goals and context, and design experiences that feel cohesive across different users and levels of expertise
• Partner closely with Product & Engineering to clarify problems, explore solutions, define scope, and ship high-quality work quickly
• Use research and data pragmatically: run scrappy discovery (interviews, workflow mapping, prototype tests), synthesize insights, and iterate
• Contribute to design quality and consistency: apply and help evolve design patterns and systems that enable speed and coherence
• Communicate clearly: share rationale, tradeoffs, and decisions to build alignment across the EPD team

Requirements:

• 4–6+ years of product design experience (or equivalent), including shipping meaningful product work
• Experience designing complex, workflow-heavy products (bonus if operationally complex: fintech/healthcare/HR/payments/insurance/benefits/admin tools, etc.)
• Strong interaction and systems thinking—able to design flows that handle nuance, permissions, states, and exceptions
• Comfort working with ambiguity and moving quickly: you can contribute to problem definition, propose options, and iterate toward strong solutions
• Strong collaboration skills with Product and Engineering, including participating in scope and tradeoff discussions
• Excellent craft and attention to detail in UI, content, and interaction patterns
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
