Product Designer
We’re looking for a Senior Product Designer to elevate our product experience for the world’s largest organisations. You’ll mature our enterprise capabilities, refine admin and governance surfaces, and shape collaboration and content workflows at scale. Your work will help ensure Synthesia sets the standard for what a world-class enterprise SaaS product should feel like.
The role:
-
We’re building a video creation platform for everyone, not some specialist tool. We see a future where Synthesia sits alongside word processors, presentation software, and spreadsheet applications as staple used by many. As part of this, we’ve moved away from prevailing UX paradigms in video creation. You’ll need to uncover new patterns that enable our users create incredible content while avoiding the complexity that comes with traditional video production.
-
The longer a user spends in our product, the more they’ll discover. You’ll need to successfully balance the tension of ensuring users have the advanced capabilities they need while maintaining a straightforward & accessible UI. Think of this as keeping things approachable on the surface, powerful in depth.
-
Repeatable patterns help our users form a consistent mental model in the face of new paradigms and reuse what they’ve learned. You’ll need to figure out what works and how we can implement it throughout the creation experience.
In this role you will:
-
Leverage feedback from our users & customers to ensure our product continues to meet their needs.
-
Tackle complex and novel problems as we mature our nascent product and uncover new use cases.
-
Play a key role in the early stages of product development as part of a team that aspires to create one of the best designed SaaS tools out there.
-
Work with a team that ships fast and iterates quickly.
-
Solve our most important UX problems and shape the future of Synthesia – from the initial idea stage to the final execution.
You should apply if you bring:
-
6+ years of experience in designing SaaS web apps or B2C products.
-
Strong product opinions and taste. We look for designers who will not shy away from proposing solutions based on your intuition and experience.
-
Ability to think at a high level about product strategy and clearly articulate design decisions.
-
Ability to take ownership of the design process and work as a self-directed member of the development team.
-
Strong UX focus and understanding of human behaviour.
-
Proven track record of creating beautiful, cohesive and meaningful design and UI, strong attention to details.
-
Effective verbal and written communication skills.
Designers who bring the following will stand out:
-
Interactive prototyping skills
-
Motion design experience
-
Strong visual design skills (typography, illustrations, iconography and brand design)
-
Experience working on tooling
At Synthesia we expect everyone to:
-
Put the Customer First
-
Own it & Go Direct
-
Be Fast & Experimental
-
Make the Journey Fun
