The role

The success of Clay lies in creating all of the app's stunning content and high-performing code in-house. For each bi-weekly release, the Product team works tirelessly to understand our users' evolving needs, design new features, and optimize our product's user experience/interface (UX/UI). To keep up with this exciting challenge, we are looking to grow our Product team—currently composed of one of our founders, a Product Manager, and two Product Designers.

In the following months, we want to start working on multiple apps in parallel, which will lead to a sizable increase in our Product Design needs. This expected growth is why we want to welcome a seasoned designer with experience in mobile UI design who can aid our expansion. As part of the Product team, this person will work hand-in-hand with our founder and Product Manager to define and own our products' UI.

The key responsibilities of the role include:

• Build ownership over the UI of our apps and iterate on it to optimize the usability of our products.
  
• Design and deliver key design system artifacts, including but not limited to components, foundational styles, and patterns for our Figma libraries.
  
• Research the needs of our users and distill the findings into realizable product updates. 

• Support an efficient workflow by implementing and improving processes.
  

• Be the connective tissue between product management, engineering, user research, and others to construct and grow the design system, own the design execution and measure ongoing improvements.
