Product Designer

Location: United States

Remote | Part-Time

Compensation: Competitive Compensation

Our client, a high-growth data and trend intelligence platform supporting top global consumer brands in beauty, wellness, and food & beverage, is seeking a talented Product Designer (Part-time, Contract) to shape the UX/UI of its core analytics dashboard and AI-powered product suite.

As the platform evolves around cutting-edge LLM features—including AI assistants, automated report builders, and inline data summaries—this role will focus on turning complex, dense trend data into clear, actionable, and intuitive digital experiences for brand innovation, product marketing, and agency teams.

This is a fully remote, part-time contract opportunity (~20 hours per week). Candidates must be located in US Central Time (UTC−6) or US Eastern Time (UTC−5) and available during core collaboration hours (9:00 AM – 12:00 PM Eastern Time).

Key Responsibilities

• Product & Experience Ownership: Partner closely with the Frontend Lead and cross-functional team members from initial discovery to launch, determining product direction, feature specifications, and UX/UI deliverables (written proposals, user flows, wireframes, and full Figma specs).
• Problem Discovery & Solutions: Proactively identify user pain points through usage data, customer feedback, and research calls. Frame fuzzy problems into clear proposals and strategic design solutions without requiring micro-management.
• AI Feature & UX Design: Design seamless user experiences for generative AI capabilities (chat interfaces, automated reports, and inline summaries). Define visual and structural treatments for AI confidence levels, data attribution, loading states, error handling, and insight tone.
• Design System Stewardship: Own and elevate the Figma design system principles, collaborating with frontend engineering to align design assets with React component libraries for a unified single source of truth.
• AI Quality Evaluation: Assist in setting benchmarks for high-quality AI outputs and reviewing user feedback loops to continually improve LLM-driven features over time.

• Experience: 2+ years of hands-on product design experience with proven work shipped in production environments.
• Strategic Mindset: Strong product intuition with a focus on defining what to build and why, beyond visual design.
• Portfolio: A portfolio demonstrating strong problem-framing capabilities, including at least one case study starting from an unstructured or ambiguous problem.
• Domain Interest/Experience: Background in or enthusiasm for data-dense software, such as analytics platforms, dashboards, or reporting tools.
• Design Systems: Familiarity with contributing to and scaling component libraries and design systems in Figma.
• AI & Modern Workflow: Strong interest or hands-on experience with AI/LLM products and fluency in integrating AI tools into daily design workflows.
• Contractor & Remote Discipline: Proven ability to self-manage time, deliverables, and asynchronous communication in a remote, fast-paced environment.
• Technical/Surface Exclusions: Note that this role strictly focuses on product UX/UI in Figma and does not require writing production code, marketing/brand design, or API/infrastructure design.
• Nice to Have
• Previous experience as a founding or solo product designer.
• Experience designing AI/LLM features or evaluating generative output quality.
• Expertise in data visualization techniques.
• Exposure to consumer packaged goods (CPG), beauty, or market research industries.

• Competitive compensation package tailored to experience.
• Collaborative, high-impact environment with direct influence on core product direction.
• Opportunity to work closely alongside senior design leadership.
• Flexible starting timeline (target start date in January, with early onboarding available).
