We’re looking for a Product Designer to join the GHIN team on a temporary, part-time basis. This role will work an average of 20 hours per week, for a period of 3-6 months.
In this role, you’ll work closely with a design lead and product owners to create intuitive, visually engaging experiences that help golfers play, post scores, manage their Handicap Index, and connect with other golfers.

What you'll do:
Collaborate closely with the Assistant Director of UX and GHIN product owners to translate requirements into thoughtful, user-centered design solutions for golfers
Apply UX best practices to improve usability, clarity, and consistency across the GHIN mobile app and GHIN.com
Create wireframes, high-fidelity designs, prototypes, and documentation in Figma
Work within and contribute to our established design system, ensuring consistency across mobile and web platforms
Support user research activities such as prototype testing, interviews, surveys, and synthesis and reporting
Collaborate with developers and product owners to ensure design implementation quality
Provide occasional design support for GHIN marketing initiatives, including digital and print collateral (slides, signage, email campaigns)
Where you'll be: This role can be performed remotely, or work out of our Liberty Corner, NJ office on a hybrid schedule.
What you bring:
4+ years of professional design experience, ideally working on web and mobile consumer applications
Strong visual and interaction design skills, with attention to detail and consistency
Proficiency in Figma (ideally, experience with shared libraries and component based design systems)
Strong understanding of UX principles, usability best practices, and design thinking
Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to take feedback from multiple stakeholders, iterate on designs, and provide a clear point of view
Ability to work cross-functionally with a design lead, product owners/managers, internal stakeholders, and engineers
A strong portfolio that demonstrates relevant digital product design work, including strong visual design skills and UX problem solving
Experience with motion design tools (e.g. After Effects, Framer) is a plus
Experience with user research and product analytics is a plus
