Fractional Product Designer

ABOUT THE ROLE

Join an early-stage AI recruiting company as its first designer in a fractional role, contributing 10 to 20 hours per week. You will shape the product experience and establish design standards that guide the team as it builds.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

- Own design across key product surfaces, from early concepts through shipped experiences.

- Establish design systems, standards, and documentation that help the team build consistently.

- Make product and design decisions with limited information, then iterate based on user feedback.

- Partner with product and engineering to implement designs and work through technical constraints.

- Use user research, usability testing, and qualitative feedback to inform design choices.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

- At least 3 years of experience designing and shipping consumer or B2B products end to end.

- A functional portfolio showing shipped work, your problem-solving approach, and clear examples of product impact.

- Experience building design systems and documentation for product teams.

- Proficiency with Figma, Sketch, or Adobe XD for high-fidelity mockups and prototypes.

- Experience collaborating directly with product and engineering teams, including navigating technical constraints.

- Experience with modern desktop B2B or SaaS products; early-stage startup or fractional design experience is a plus.

- Familiarity with design-to-code handoff and HTML/CSS is helpful.

- Availability and compensation expectations suited to a 10 to 20 hour per week engagement.
