Senior Product Designer, Slack Growth (with UX writing focus)

We are hiring a Senior Product Designer to help craft the future of Slack. This role is on our Growth Design team, which focuses on helping more people discover, adopt, and get value from Slack. We design thoughtful, high-quality experiences that guide users through their journey, from trying Slack for the first time to growing their team and upgrading. Our team balances rapid experimentation with a deep commitment to craft, always keeping our customers' needs at the center.

We’re looking for a strong, experienced designer who also has experience with content design. We’re looking for someone who can deliver on the whole experience, from the words to the interactions and visual design because we feel the words and underlying language system are critical to success in this role. You\'ll focus on solving user experience problems through content strategy, information structure, and language. We\'re looking for someone who excels at making the complicated simple, creating clarity, and crafting clear, human-sounding product copy that drives trials, upgrades, and feature adoption.

If you\'re passionate about shaping the end-to-end product experience and have strong content and product design skills, please apply!

At Slack, we have a positive, diverse, and encouraging culture — we look for people who are curious, inventive, and work to be a little better every single day!

• Collaborate with PMs, engineers, data scientists, and other designers to build customer-centric experiences
• Work cross-functionally with Product and Engineering partners to represent the design team, facilitate design discussions, and give feedback in planning and product channels

• Partner with engineering to ensure that our implementation and user experience are of high-quality
• Raise the bar for craft by contributing to and evolving our design system

• Create narratives that demonstrate the intent and desired outcome of new, strategic projects
• Proactively demonstrate the impact of your work, using data to guide and advocate for your decisions
• Contribute to building our positive, collaborative, and healthy team culture

• An understanding of dependencies between design, front-end and backend technologies and experience using a design system
• Solid understanding of building usable, accessible, and modular designs that can scale to millions of users
