Product Designer 

About Us

At SMTM we believe Creators should own their platform, not platforms owning the Creators.

Led by the former EVP of Commerce at BuzzFeed and funded by Daughters Capital, a consumer-tech incubator led by the founder of Reformation, we are reimagining the creator ecosystem by capturing and maximizing the value creators deserve to get credit for driving. 

We are obsessed with building the best user experiences and are looking for a talented product designer to drive the design vision, develop our design philosophy and to design the most premium, intuitive, and joyful experiences. Our ideal candidate is passionate about the commerce and creator ecosystem, is excited by the challenge of designing something disruptive, innovative, and with the highest design standards at the forefront. 


Objectives for this role: 

  • Be the voice of the customer and design user experiences that make it intuitive and fun to interact with our experiences

  • Challenge conventional ways of thinking and build design experiences that redefine how users engage with digital experiences 

  • Define our design philosophy, set our design standard, and develop design frameworks that are built for optimization and performance 

  • Partner with product and engineering to execute on your design vision 

  • Solve unique challenges in the creator ecosystem with design solutions that push the boundaries of solutions that exist today

  • Design transformative experiences through front-end user interfaces, narrative storytelling, systems thinking, prototyping, even creating production-ready assets

  • Work across all parts of the design process: user research, concept development, prototyping, strategy design, UX + UI, collaborating with development teams

  • Work with the Head of Product to develop the strategy and rationale for features

  • Play a foundational role in defining and building out the Product Design function


About You 

  • You have 5+ years of UX, UI, or product design experience

  • You are a systems thinker, who thinks about the full user experience, and is obsessed with reimagining how humans interact with the digital space 

  • Strong portfolio and elevated sense of design: you put design excellence first and know the difference between “good” and “great.” This standard of excellence drives your prioritization and process and is something you inject in the culture any organization you interact with

  • Extensive experience with a variety of visual and interactive prototyping tools (e.g. Figma, Adobe Creative Suite, Origami, Protopie, Framer, etc).

  • Ability to understand simple code (eg. HTML, CSS) for prototyping interactions 

  • Prototyping: You understand how to use prototyping to our advantage, by building an interactive process that helps us test, learn, and ship quickly. You are hands-on and able to create low and high fidelity prototypes at speed 

  • Communication: You have strong verbal and visual presentation skills, and can clearly article design decisions to internal and external stakeholders 

  • Collaboration: you are open to feedback and understand the importance of getting buy-in from key stakeholders. You are optimistic and always open to new ideas and ways of working

  • Human-centered design: you understand basic human-centered design philosophy, and are passionate about using the real world to drive your design decisions  

  • You thrive in a fast-paced environment and high stakes situations and are comfortable taking accountability
