Product Designer

The product designer candidate is a champion of all things visual. You have a deep understanding of the product design process and its relationship with strategy and communications. You will be leading both visual identity and digital interface projects at Zensite, working closely with our team of product designers, UX researchers, project managers and developers.

You’ll be responsible for creating original, industry-leading creative work, making sure the brand/UI visuals follow the defined strategy and achieving the visual goals of the project. While the actual needs per client may vary, it all has the same purpose: define what problem they’re solving, find out what makes them different, capture their essence, and communicate that through visual storytelling.

Finally, you will be a member of our tight-knit, supportive community of designers at Zensite, being inspired and challenged to create your best work. You’ll engage with the Design team through collaboration sessions, design critique, attending design conferences, and more.‍
