ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT
Familiar with a Product Led Growth [PLG] model for market expansion? Good, you’re in the right place. Jeenie is taking a product-first approach to creating value, and to growing, setting the tempo for our fellow Jeenies. We’re breaking language barriers by expanding our dynamic marketplace of linguists and building intelligent automations, making Jeenie much more than “just an app”. Naturally, we work closely with our Growth and Client Success teams, and of course Engineering, collaborating to bring human connection to users globally.
ABOUT THE POSITION
Reporting to the head of our Product Group, and working closely with Marketing, Engineering, and our client-facing teams, you will be a vital contributor to Jeenie, and lead all aspects of our user experience and digital interaction designs. You will be intimately involved throughout our innovation lifecycle from ideation and definition through successful design and build, acceptance, release and ongoing evolution, including identifying and addressing points of design improvement throughout.
To ensure success in this role, you should know the design process intimately and possess excellent knowledge of digital product life cycles. You will understand our user’s needs and requirements and will transform that understanding into user-focused and intuitive product experiences and interfaces (UX/UI), across multiple platforms including mobile and web. Ultimately, a top-notch experience designer should have exceptional creative design and communication skills plus the ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teammates, as well as consumers and other stakeholders. You will work in a wide variety of areas, including integrated web and digital app journeys, data visualizations, interactive dashboards, and internal tooling interfaces. Your tasks will include the creation of experience maps, storyboards and user scenarios, incorporating both low and high fidelity mockups and flows. Since you will be working closely with our product managers, marketers, engineers, and other key stakeholders, you must be a team player.

- Lead the full design process, from conducting research to conceptualizing and designing digital experiences for the company’s various products

- Work diligently to ensure the product designs meet both management and consumer objectives
