Senior Product Designer
What is Design?
Design isn't just how it looks
Design isn't just how it works
Design isn't just usability
Design is the act of ensuring real value is delivered to real people
Which is the goal of all Product People... but, designers are in a particularly vital spot as they are going to be relied upon to be the ones that know those we aim to serve better than anyone else on the team (not just Product, but the entire company). You'll know their grand desires as well as the minutiae of their daily needs.

Optional responsibilities / Assignments
Data Analyst
We seek evidence that helps us decide on the direction we will take. There is a saying "if all we have are opinions, let's use mine... but if we have data, let's use that". CareerPlug aspires to be data-influenced in all product decisions. We are the engine that powers that influence.
Documentation Writer
We are the documenters... we ensure that the most important parts of how our application is supposed to work never gets forgotten.

We are the facilitators of this forward progress... ensuring that with every action we take brings us closer to achieving our mission 💪🏾 We know it takes a team to succeed, and are committed to ensuring WTWT and collaboration. Regardless of our processes, meeting style and cadences, and communication methods; we ensure progress (next steps, priorities, and deliverables) are as clear as possible.
Insights to Opportunity Alchemists
We ensure the opportunities on our opportunity tree are organized and rich with evidence that supports further investment. This evidence comes from everywhere, but is primarily sourced from Insights.
Launch Coordinator – Ops & CS
As an organization, we launch together. That means alignment and unity across multiple departments. Within Product, we have special responsibilities to ensure the success of the monthly product launches (as well as any insta-launches). We, launch coordinators, are the captains of the product launch journey.
Opportunity Tree Caretaker
We ensure the opportunities we focus on are in alignment with the product strategy and give us the best chance at achieving our ultimate goals of continuous value delivery. We succeed if the Oppties we select results in helping us meet our product strategy goals.
