Overview
Senior Product Designer - UGC role at Scribd, Inc.
About The Company: At Scribd (pronounced “scribbed”), our mission is to spark human curiosity. We are building a world of stories and knowledge, democratizing the exchange of ideas and information, and empowering collective expertise through our products: Everand, Scribd, Slideshare, and Fable.
The team
Design at Scribd makes complex ideas feel simple. We help millions of people learn, explore, and share knowledge every day. We’re looking for a Senior Product Designer to help shape the core Scribd experience in an AI-driven world, where information is everywhere but true understanding is rare. You’ll join our 15-person Product Design team where you’ll define how readers discover and engage with content that adds real value to their lives, and influence the direction of Scribd’s core experience. We care about our customers and design with the business in mind. We bias toward action and over-communication. We debate openly and push each other toward better ideas—and better craft.
The work
- Bring ideas to life fast and shape them through feedback.
- Share your beliefs with conviction—it’s not about being right, it’s about having a point of view, and strengthening it through thoughtful collaboration.
- Navigate ambiguity with your design and cross-functional partners.
- Balance data, insight, and intuition—to support your decisions with clear rationale.
- Make decisions that shape what we build and why.
- Share your work early and challenge your own assumptions.
- Raise the bar through innovation, craft, generous feedback, and debate.
The Essentials
- 8+ years of product design experience.
- An appetite for solving complex problems.
- Curiosity and collaboration in how you work.
- Fluency in Figma and modern prototyping tools.
The application
- Resume with 6+ years experience designing complex, consumer-facing products.
- Portfolio with 2-3 case studies that show measurable impact, and a point of view grounded in the why.
- Password, if applicable.
