описание
We're looking for a Lead/Staff Product Designer to shape some of the most important experiences in our marketplace. You'll own complex, high-impact problem spaces end to end — from ambiguous discovery through to shipped, measured outcomes — and raise the bar for design craft and pace across the whole team. This is a senior individual-contributor role with real influence. You'll partner directly with product and engineering leadership, mentor other designers, and set the standard for how design work gets done at Carwow.
задачи
- Own end-to-end design for a major problem space in our marketplace — buying, selling, or dealer-facing products — from discovery and framing through to launch and iteration
- Prototype at pace using AI, getting real, testable experiences in front of users and stakeholders early and often
- Work shoulder-to-shoulder with engineers, using AI-assisted workflows to close the gap between design intent and shipped product — ideally getting hands-on in code where it speeds things up
- Set direction, not just execute: identify opportunities, make the case with evidence, and bring product and engineering partners with you
- Raise the craft bar across the team through critique, mentorship, and by making your own work an example worth following
- Champion AI-native ways of working — sharing techniques, building reusable prompts and workflows, and helping the wider team level up
- Ground decisions in evidence, combining user research, data, and rapid experimentation
требования
- 7+ years of product design experience, with a track record of leading complex, high-impact work in consumer or marketplace products
- Native app experience
- A high degree of AI fluency. Hands-on, demonstrable experience using Claude Design (or an equivalent AI design/prototyping tool) as a core part of your workflow — this is critical to the role, and we'll want to see it in your portfolio and hear about it in interviews
- Strong end-to-end craft: you can go from a fuzzy problem statement to polished, production-ready design, and everything you ship is considered
- Comfort with ambiguity and pace — you make good decisions with incomplete information and iterate quickly
- Excellent communication and influence: you can align senior stakeholders, tell a compelling story with your work, and hold your ground constructively
- Experience mentoring designers and lifting the standard of a team
- Будет плюсом: Experience with Claude Code (or an equivalent AI coding agent) — enough to prototype in real code, collaborate more deeply with engineers, or ship small changes yourself; Marketplace, e-commerce, or two-sided platform experience; Familiarity with experimentation-driven product development (A/B testing, funnel analysis)
