Andela

5d • Remote

About The Position

As the Staff Product Designer, you are a visionary leader who shapes how millions of people experience the future of work. You will tackle Andela’s most ambiguous product challenges, working across high-level business strategy and deep user empathy. You aren't just a "maker"; you are a "shaper" who defines the frameworks, logic, and standards that the rest of the design team follows.

Requirements

• Experience: 10+ years in Product Design, with a significant track record of delivering high-impact B2B, SaaS, or Marketplace products.
• Systems Thinker: You have a deep understanding of how design scales. You can think through edge cases, global localization, and complex state management without needing to see it in code first.
• Communication: Mastery of the "pitch." You can articulate the ROI of design to non-design stakeholders and build consensus across a global, async organization.
• Tooling: Expert-level Figma skills, including advanced prototyping, auto-layout, and library management.
• Product Sense: You think like a Product Manager. You understand trade-offs, technical constraints, and how to ship "Minimum Viable Products" (MVP) to learn fast.
• The Stack: Experience of Figma paired with professional-grade proficiency in React.js, TypeScript, and CSS-in-JS (or Tailwind).
• Bachelor's degree in Business, Engineering, Computer Science, or related field
• 3+ years in a marketplace, platform, or multi-sided network business model
• 2+ years managing or mentoring direct reports.
• Experience leading cross-functional initiatives across Engineering, Operations, and commercial teams in a remote or distributed organization.

Nice To Haves

• MBA or advanced degree preferred.

Responsibilities

• Experience Architecture: Lead the design of complex, multi-sided marketplace flows. You will be responsible for the "big picture" logic of our Talent Cloud, ensuring seamless transitions between client hiring needs and talent career growth.
• Strategic Partnership: Act as a peer to Product and Engineering. You will help define the product roadmap by identifying user-centric opportunities that align with Andela’s commercial goals.
• Design Systems Governance: While you aren't writing the code, you are the "Source of Truth" for our design language. You will oversee the evolution of our component library to ensure accessibility, consistency, and a world-class aesthetic.
• Data-Informed Innovation: Use qualitative research and quantitative data to validate your hypotheses. You should be comfortable navigating complex data dashboards to find the "why" behind user behavior.
• Mentorship & Craft Excellence: Elevate the output of the design team through rigorous design reviews, workshops, and the introduction of new methodologies.
• Design Mentorship: Act as a "Force Multiplier." You will lead design sprints, conduct high-level critiques, and mentor Senior Designers to help them reach the next level of their careers.
