We are looking for a

Staff Product Designer

based in

Latin America

to work on a long-term project for one of our clients, a Data Analytics and Business Intelligence services company based in Los Angeles, California.

The person in this role will directly mentor and lead one mid-level designer, helping grow their craft while driving the work forward together.

Responsibilities

Own the design across top and mid-funnel buyer surfaces, including homepage, search, browse, and bidding.

Lead discovery work: define the problem space, identify opportunities, and shape product direction before solutions are formed.

Drive research programs grounded in real buyer behavior (usability studies, generative research, survey design), and synthesize findings into product strategy.

Produce work of exceptional clarity and craft, including flows, prototypes, and specs that are precise enough to build from and compelling enough to align around.

Partner with product, engineering, data, and customer insights as a co-owner of outcomes, not a downstream executor.

Model and elevate craft standards across the team, in critique, feedback, and the quality of your own output.

Lead and mentor one mid-level designer: set direction, give feedback, and create space for them to grow.

Contribute to the design system and advocate for discovery-pattern consistency across the platform.

Requirements

Advanced Level of English.

8+ years of product design experience, with at least 2 years operating at a staff or lead level.

Portfolio demonstrating end-to-end ownership of search, discovery, or browse experiences at scale.

Experience leading or mentoring other designers.

Hands‑on qualitative research experience — usability testing, generative research, survey design, or similar.

Comfort operating in ambiguity at the problem‑definition stage.

Experience with design systems, including contributing to, challenging, and knowing when to work within versus outside them.

Background in marketplace, e‑commerce, or catalog‑heavy products strongly preferred.

Proficiency in Figma; comfort prototyping at varying levels of fidelity.

Bonus Points
Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science, Systems Engineering or related fields.
