Senior Product Designer (Risk & Analytics)

About the role

We’re looking for a Product Designer to play a leading role in shaping our customer-facing product. This is a role for someone entrepreneurial who wants to roll up their sleeves and get their hands dirty with designing a product in its early stages. You’ll work closely with the rest of a dedicated team to build Overstory so that it has a giant impact on the world.

You’ll be embedded in the team responsible for the core experience of our product, tasked with the mission of providing our users with the best-in-class analyses that help them achieve their goals.

For this role we are looking to hire in the US or Canada, to be in close proximity to our customers. The team you would be working day-to-day with is distributed throughout the US and Europe.

What you’ll do

• Lead the end-to-end product design process of our customer-facing product including user research, wireframes, prototypes, flows, detailed design specs and QA.
• Understand engineering and business constraints to create shippable solutions to users’ problems, and continuously validate the solutions with customers.
• Lay out a design vision for what's possible by quickly iterating, knowing when to pay attention to detail and when to make low-fi sketches and prototypes.
• Communicate and present your work clearly and frequently to teammates and company leaders.
• Take full ownership of your work. That also means getting involved on how to communicate it to customers when releases happen.
• Think both short- and long-term so that you can meet near-term deadlines while iterating toward a future vision.
• Facilitate alignment and vision exercises (e.g. design sprints, workshops, planning).
• Occasionally meet in-person with our customers to run workshops, attend field visits and learn about how our customers are leveraging Overstory in their day-to-day operations
• Occasionally attend industry events to keep an eye on competition, and learn about how our prospects and customers are thinking about leveraging disrupting technology 

Minimum qualifications

• A strong portfolio featuring examples of interaction design work.
• Experience working at an early-stage startup.
• Demonstrated experience with end-to-end (hybrid UX and UI) product design for enterprise software.
• Demonstrated experience working with cross-functional teams (product, engineering and design)
• You demonstrate an acute skill in turning the complex into dead simple experiences that non-technical users grasp with ease.
• Exceptional verbal, written and visual communication skills in a fast-paced environment.
• Experience leading design sprints and building consensus around the best ideas.
• You take calculated risks: you’re comfortable learning as you go and making mistakes. You know perfect is the enemy of good.
• A genuine passion for the urgency of solving our climate crisis.

Preferred qualifications

• 5+ years of product design experience.
• Experience working on a B2B SaaS product.
• You’ve worked closely with machine learning engineers and/or data scientists in a previous role.
• You have experience designing LLMs/AI powered products and know when the technology can be used to deliver delightful experiences.
• You’ve worked with maps/geospatial data. 

What you get

• To be part of truly mission-driven work that reduces wildfires, protects earth’s natural resources and helps solve our climate crisis.
• Flexible working environment with a lot of autonomy. We build our work days around our lives, not the other way around.
• Other benefits like a remote working budget, an educational budget and time to develop new skills.
• To be surrounded by an excellent, vibrant, smart team who have each other's back and believe in a culture of openness, tolerance and respect.
• Equity and a competitive salary.
