  • Develop and iterate on wireframes, mockups, and prototypes to communicate design ideas, and user flows effectively.
  • Conduct user research and usability testing to gather insights and inform design decisions.
  • Translate complex technical concepts and requirements into intuitive, accessible, and engaging user experiences.
  • Push design quality with Dropbox design systems and collaborate with engineering to ship quality experiences. 
  • Incorporate feedback from stakeholders, team members, and users to refine and improve the user experience of CompanyOS continually.
  • Stay informed of the competitive landscape, industry trends, and emerging technologies in the AI and productivity spaces, using these insights to inform your design work.
Requirements
  • 10+ years of experience in product design.
  • Exceptional craft and attention to detail in visual design, interaction design, and prototyping.
  • Proficiency with prototyping tools to showcase complex features and web flows.
  • Strong customer obsession with extensive experience leveraging UX research for foundational insights and iterative design.
  • Experience spanning the full product lifecycle, from discovery to launch and iteration, turning ambiguous problems and big ideas into a product and executing it flawlessly.
  • Ownership mindset with a proactive approach to driving projects and teams forward.
  • Excellent communication skills and comfortable presenting demos to an executive audience, talking to customers, and aligning with cross-functional partners.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience with 0-1 product initiatives.
  • Experience collaborating with an executive audience, incorporating strategic direction, and presenting design recommendations.
  • Proven ability to design highly complex, multi-step workflows with significant decision depth and interdependencies.
  • Familiarity with and passion for AI/ML and other emerging technologies.
