About The Position

Stord is seeking a Senior Product Designer to lead design for Stord's brand-facing and consumer-facing subscription portals, physical inserts product (Unbox), and international checkout, and other experiences that turn one-time buyers into loyal customers. This role involves owning design quality, shaping the roadmap through design with stakeholders, and contributing to the growth of the design team. The designer will create experiences for consumers during critical moments like order tracking, subscription management, or resolving delivery issues, focusing on reducing anxiety, building trust, and fostering loyalty. The position offers the opportunity to impact millions of end consumers, own a significant design domain, influence product strategy, and directly impact business metrics such as conversion rates and customer satisfaction. The role also involves leveraging AI design tools for rapid prototyping and iteration, and contributing to the practices of a growing design team. The ideal candidate is energized by consumer psychology, comfortable with ambiguity, and skilled in understanding the emotional aspects of post-purchase experiences.

Requirements

7+ years of product design experience, including at least 3 years designing consumer-facing digital products.
Deep craft in UX and UI across the full design lifecycle, with a portfolio that shows how you led complex problems from ambiguity to shipped outcomes.
B2C design fluency: a deep understanding of consumer psychology, behavior patterns, and expectations.
Multi-platform design: experience creating responsive experiences across mobile, tablet, and desktop.
Mixed-methods research: proven ability to run generative and evaluative research, combine it with analytics, and turn insights into design and product direction.
Design systems: experience shaping and stewarding significant portions of a design system, not only using one.
Accessibility: working knowledge of WCAG and a track record of championing inclusive design.
Modern design tools: advanced proficiency in Figma, including prototyping and component libraries, literacy in AI tools as part of your process, and appetite to learn new tools such as Claude and Claude Design.
Experience owning design quality across a product domain or multiple features at once, with minimal direction.
A record of influencing product direction and roadmap decisions through design, not only executing briefs.
Experience mentoring other designers through feedback and pairing, and raising the bar in critiques.
Comfort advocating for users with evidence in cross-functional discussions, including pushing back on scope or direction when user needs aren't being served.
