Senior Product Designer

Method is a global design and engineering consultancy founded in 1999. We believe that innovation should be meaningful, beautiful and human. We craft practical, powerful digital experiences that improve lives and transform businesses. Our teams [based in New York, Charlotte, Atlanta, London, Bengaluru, and remote] work with a wide range of organizations in many industries, including Healthcare, Financial Services, Retail, Automotive, Aviation, and Professional Services.

Method is part of GlobalLogic, a digital product engineering company. GlobalLogic integrates experience design and complex engineering to help our clients imagine what’s possible and accelerate their transition into tomorrow’s digital businesses. GlobalLogic is a Hitachi Group Company.

As a Senior Product Designer, you will work closely with Method clients and team members – Product, Development, and QA – to conceptualize and craft seamless user experiences that support business objectives.

You will be involved in product strategy from the very beginning, offering your knowledge and unique expertise to help shape product direction and turn ideas and concepts into a workable design. You will produce wireframes, prototypes, style guides and hi-fidelity designs to explore, experiment and ultimately advocate for simple, elegant solutions to complex problems.

You must be able to balance pixel-perfect attention to detail with low-fidelity design choices. At Method, we firmly believe that user feedback and data evolve products. Meetings and presentations are necessary to build consensus and achieve buy-in, but working software is the ultimate validation of any single approach

Proactive Recruiting:

Although there isn't an identified start date for this role, Method is proactively seeking an Associate Director of Product Design. As an Associate Director, you balance leading and contributing to the Product Design process- framing design opportunities with clients, concept explorations, prototyping and testing, building developer ready designs, creating design systems (or component libraries) and ongoing iteration of the future of our client’s products. You guide your team and others in expressing customer needs and business opportunities through beautiful, useful and usable product experiences. You contribute to the career growth of a small group of product designers, helping them hone their craft, find their voice and contribute to our organization.

Why apply to a proactive job post at Method? Method has hired an average of 12 Product Designers each year, over the last three years. We hire regularly onto the team, and would love to learn more about you and let you learn about Method. We believe the interview process is a two-way decision. We want to be respectful of your time, and would love to start the conversation. 

Qualifications:

• Experience leading the design efforts for one or more successful – successfully shipped or successfully downloaded – online or mobile products. You know great UX, and you can walk us through your portfolio and tell a compelling story about the hard decisions and compromises you had to make along the way.
• Strong understanding of HTML, Javascript, and CSS. You won’t necessarily be shipping production markup, styling, or code, but you see prototypes as just another means of communication. You aren’t scared of jumping into the command line, your editor of choice, or into a chair next to one of our razor-sharp developers to make things happen.
• You understand why we have UI best practices, and you don’t try to reinvent dropdowns with each new project. You want the interface to look as polished as possible, but you also value a good hard deadline.
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to communicate persuasively across different audiences, to diverse people at varying levels of an organization. You design it, you pitch it. Nobody hides behind project managers here.
• An insatiable curiosity and a constant drive to do and be better. You download new apps and take screenshots. You try out new design tools. You attend industry events. You do stuff on the side. You love what you do, you want to be great at it, and you know there’s always something new to learn.
