Product Designer

About Sendmarc

We are a cyber security company that is on a mission to make the internet a safer place. We do this by delivering tooling and services related to an international standard, DMARC. Our technology enables organisations to protect their staff, customers, suppliers, and the whole world from email spoofing and impersonation attacks on their domains.

We’re a fully remote company with the majority of our builders working out of South Africa and sales teams in the Netherlands, the US, Latin America, Australia and the UK.
Why This Role Exists

The mission of this role is to create beautiful and user-friendly interfaces across Sendmarc ’s digital products.

Sendmarc ships new capability fast, across a growing set of products and surfaces. This role exists to make sure every feature we ship is clear, consistent, and genuinely easy to use.

You’ll work alongside Sendmarc ’s existing product design function, building out the design system that keeps our interfaces consistent as the product surface area grows, and working closely with Product and Engineering to take ideas from concept to shipped feature.
Outcomes

The core outcomes this role is accountable for:
End-to-End Product Design

Design and deliver product experiences that are intuitive, cohesive, and user-centric, communicating design thinking through wireframes, prototypes, sketches, user flows, mockups, and high-fidelity visual designs, and distilling complex problems into systematic, scalable solutions that get refined iteratively.
Usability & Research

Investigate usability pain points and apply UX heuristics to improve clarity and ease of use, and conduct research that informs design decisions, shapes product direction, and surfaces new opportunities.
Design System Ownership

Define, evolve, and maintain Sendmarc ’s Design System, keeping the experience consistent and unified across the product ecosystem, and develop the usage guidelines, reusable components, content standards, and usability documentation that let product teams move faster.
Cross-Functional Delivery

Collaborate closely with Product Managers, Engineers, and stakeholders to plan, design, and implement new features, analysing business rules and technical constraints to keep solutions feasible, presenting design work and adjusting it based on feedback, and supporting engineers through delivery with assets, clarifications, and updates.
