The Opportunity

In an effort to better serve our 100+ million registered hourly workers and over 470,000 employer locations, Snagajob is currently looking for a Senior UX/Product Designer. At Snagajob we’re on a mission to make the lives of hourly workers, job seekers and employers better by living up to our vision: to create a world where anyone can get the work or workforce they want, wherever and whenever they want it. We’re exploring new concepts, creating new products and reimagining the way hourly job seekers and employers connect. We have a long, successful history as a job board, have embraced the gig economy, and we’re now on a path to create and deliver a true self-service marketplace for hourly work. 

As the Senior UX/Product Designer, you’ll collaborate with a core team to design consumer-focused products supporting and shaping the hourly workforce marketplace. This role reports to the Director of Product and UX Design and can be based remotely or in our Richmond or Arlington, VA or Charleston, SC office.

  • Create visual artifacts (wireframes, prototypes, sketches) essential for discovery; lead discovery and user research sessions, engage our audiences, and craft world class product experiences that reflect standards of our brand and the platforms we support (Desktop/Responsive Web/Android/iOS)
  • Develop a deep understanding of Snagajob’s core audiences and leverage it in the development of your vision
  • Think creatively, easily changing gears in order to provide varied approaches and ideas. Engage in constructive feedback and discussion-making while preserving and enhancing team dynamics

    • Interaction design – sketches, wireframes, prototypes
    • Visual design – understanding of current and forward thinking trends, patterns, and software
    • Design solutions tailored to and for all platforms

What You’ll Bring

  • In-house experience as a member of a product design team; focus on a marketplace product strongly preferred 
  • Experience with consumer acquisition (search, browse, convert) design solutions 
  • Intellectual curiosity and drive; self-starters will thrive in this position
  • A portfolio that demonstrates clear problem solving and associated solutions
  • Experience creating effective multi-platform design solutions that leverage best practices while staying on-brand
  • A passion for staying up-to-date on current industry-best UX and design principles and trends, particularly for mobile (apps & mobile web)
