Senior Product Designer

Location: India - Pune, Hyderabad or Bengaluru

Company: Foolproof, a Zensar Company

Note: This is a contractor role

Note: you will be required to work Central US hours with a 6 hour overlap

We are looking for a Senior Product Designer who has a passion for creating digital products and services that create value for our clients, and a solid understanding of designing for both responsive web and mobile apps.

You are as passionate about creativity as you are about human centered design and human outcomes and will have demonstrable hands-on experience of working on iOS and/or Android native apps for a recognisable brand, preferably in a high-traffic environment.

You will have experience working across every stage of the product lifecycle - from early-stage innovation, through to continuous improvement and on to reinventing existing products and services to drive better outcomes for our clients, their employees and their customers. You will approach the work you do and the way you work with intelligence, imagination, drive and humility.

As part of our South Africa Studio, we work on a remote-first model – but you will need to be prepared to travel to our clients' offices if required.

Key skills and experience:

• A product development or experience design background.
• A hybrid designer with a foundation in design research, user experience, interaction and visual design, and particular strength in one or two of these areas.
• A combination of experience in designing for mobile and web applications, experience working on iOS and/or Android native apps. Ideally you will have experience of launching or relaunching a product and optimising the performance over time.
• Experience working with and building out design systems for responsive web and app.
• Expertise in taking projects from brief through to insight-led wireframes and prototypes that bring brands to life, through to hi-fidelity designs.
• A strong systems thinker who understands how the pieces connect, continuously experimenting and improving human and business outcomes.
• A keenness to explore the problem space before iteratively exploring solutions to meet those problems.
• Strong communicator visually and verbally, experienced in iterating and presenting ideas, interactions and flows with confidence, guiding clients through the process.
• Skilled in working independently or collaboratively with other designers in a demanding Agile environment to create great user experiences.

What you will be doing:

As a Senior Product Designer, you will be part of a team working on iterative web and mobile app transformation projects. You will work closely with the product owner and design lead, from discovery through delivery for the launch of a new product.

You will also be working closely with other practices within our Studio, championing bold conceptual thinking and creative expression in the design process and staying on top of industry trends.

You will be able self-organise, lead ideation workshops and design reviews with stakeholders and support more junior members of the team. You will develop ideas and concepts from initial wireframes, through to hi-fidelity designs as well as prototype and present ideas, interactions and flows with confidence among the design team and clients, all while taking on feedback and iterate based on insights.

You will support the planning activity of design deliverables, report on the status of such deliverables to the Delivery team and notify them of any risks. Where relevant, you will support the wider Sales team by identifying business opportunities, leading on pitches, and generating ideas and suggestions for prospective work.

Our methodology:

• Discover, imagine, create and deliver products and services that make things better for our clients, their customers, their employees and the world.
• Bring together insight, creativity and technology to deliver experiences that transform our clients' businesses.
• Outcome driven, embody objectivity and people-centricity in everything we do.
• Continuous discovery, delivery and learning through a collaborative, iterative design process.
• Champion experimentation, conceptual thinking and creative expression in design.
• Thought leadership in experience, design, branding and design systems through contributing to conferences and industry panels.
