As a Senior Product Designer, you’ll be responsible for creating products that help hundreds of thousands of users around the world land their dream job! Day-to-day you’ll work on identifying and solving complex design problems; collaborating with cross-functional team members in order to test ideas and deliver creative and innovative solutions.

This position will sit within our talent discovery platform, with an emphasis on creating the best possible experience for talent; allowing them to showcase their skills in the pursuit of landing their dream job. You’ll be responsible for driving early stage discovery activities, routinely engaging with users, and applying lean UX methods to quickly inform design decisions and shape future iterations of our next big vertical.

• Engaging with members of your cross-functional team to align around the problem to be solved; seeking insight, feedback and inspiration throughout the problem-solving process.
• Facilitate the exploration of potential solutions and testing of your hypothesis by concepting, prototyping and testing ideas to assess their desirability, viability and feasibility early on in the design process.

• Collaborate with Engineering and QA through the implementation phase in order to ensure our solutions solve the problem as intended, are delivered with quality in mind and have the desired impact on user behavior.
• Contributing to the development, maintenance and adoption of our design system; ensuring we leverage the benefits of speed, quality and consistency and alignment with our overarching brand.

Here’s what we are looking for:

• You have excellent time management skills, including prioritizing and scheduling.
• You are a strong communicator, active listener, and are confident in your ability to facilitate a collaborative and inclusive approach.
• You are comfortable with ambiguity and thrive in a fast-paced, cross-functional, Agile setting.
• You are inherently customer centric in both your approach and mindset with a strong background in applied research methods.
• You embrace curiosity and champion evidence-based decisions through experimentation and rapid feedback loops.
• You have a keen eye for detail and are relentless in the pursuit of quality.
• You are able to move between a 100ft and 1000ft view of a problem.

Bonus points if you have…

• Prior experience with driving engagement in platforms like marketplaces/social media
• Experience working in a high growth, product-led scale-up.

About TestGorilla

At TestGorilla, we envision a world where everyone has their dream job. To achieve that, employers and employees need to have the right information about each other.

We started in 2020 by building a screening platform that enables employers to evaluate candidates in the skills that matter most for success in a role. Our product replaces subjective, incomplete, and often inflated CVs with objective, reliable, and fair test results measuring aptitude, practical job skills, culture add, and motivation.

Improving and expanding this platform is our core focus at the moment, but it’s only the beginning of our journey to get everyone their dream job. Over time, we will launch more products that support this mission.

Recently, we procured $10m in seed funding from investors like Notion Capital and Jeff Weiner (the ex-CEO of LinkedIn), and our growth is on target to continue exponentially. Chances are you’re familiar with some of our biggest customers, like the UK’s National Health Service, 3M, Sony, Boy Scouts of America, PepsiCo, Bain & Company, and Deloitte.

We work remotely, spread across the Americas, Europe, Asia, and Africa.
