Sr. Product Designer

Ziff Davis Shopping

2d•$130,000 - $145,000

About The Position

Ziff Davis Shopping is rebuilding its digital product experiences and redefining the role of design across the company. We’re looking for a principal product designer who can help carry a consumer experience from early releases to durable, market-leading scale. This is not a role for a screen-only designer. It’s for an experienced product thinker who can architect systems, shape product strategy, ship high-quality mobile and web experiences, and evolve a product over time. You’ll join as our second product designer on a two-person team — which means real ownership, significant surface area, and direct impact on the product. This is a unique opportunity for a principal designer who wants their work to matter.

Requirements

6-10 years of product design experience
Deep experience in commerce, loyalty, deals, or marketplaces — you understand purchase-intent UX and loyalty mechanics
Proven track record shipping and evolving consumer experiences across native mobile, web, and other channels
Experience taking products from early releases to scaled maturity
Demonstrated ability to influence product roadmap and strategy through design excellence
Strong systems thinker — you design patterns, not just pages (for all channels)
Exceptional interaction and visual design skills
Comfortable moving between high-level strategy and detailed execution
Fluency with AI-assisted design and prototyping tools — and the judgment to help define how the team uses them
Able to operate in ambiguous, fast-moving environments
Self-directed and comfortable owning major areas independently
You don’t need heavy process scaffolding to be effective
You think in terms of long-term product integrity
You push for clarity, not just completion
You’re collaborative but opinionated
You care about what ships — not just what’s designed

Responsibilities

Own End-to-End Experience & Product Strategy
Translate ambiguous problem spaces into clear flows and interaction models across all consumer channels (Native Mobile, Web, Channel, etc.)

Deliver build-ready designs in close partnership with engineering
Connect design decisions to overall product strategy and business objectives
Shape Experience Architecture & Systems
Establish scalable navigation and information architecture across all channels
Contribute to and evolve a cross-channel design system
Design interaction models that extend cleanly as the product grows
Anticipate future states, not just immediate needs
Design for Growth & Iteration
Support experimentation and A/B testing across all touchpoints
Use research and data to refine experiences over time
Balance speed and quality without sacrificing either
Continuously improve core journeys as the product matures
Partner Deeply with Engineering
Collaborate on feasibility and tradeoffs early
Participate in QA and ensure design fidelity in shipped builds
Design with performance, platform conventions, and accessibility in mind
