Understood, New York, NY +1
To advance Understood’s mission and further our impact, we’re hiring a Staff Product Designer, reporting to the Director, Product Design.
The ideal candidate is a systems thinker and experienced product designer who can turn complex customer needs and subject matter expertise into clear, useful digital experiences. You’re deeply curious about people and how they understand, learn, decide, and act. You can design experiences for different users and needs while identifying the patterns and systems that allow those experiences to scale.
You’re energized by ambiguity, committed to inclusive and accessible design, and actively exploring how AI is changing the practice of product design.
This is a hybrid role that requires a minimum of three (3) days a week in our NYC office, with a focus on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. We are a Mac-based environment, and team members are provided a Mac laptop for their work.
In this role, you bring deep product design expertise and the ability to own projects and workstreams end-to-end. We don't expect a perfect match across every category. What matters is relevant experience, genuine interest in the work, and a mindset for growth.
The base salary range for this role is $170,000 - $190,000, depending on years of experience and qualifications. We offer a comprehensive benefits package that supports wellness for our team members and their families. You can learn more about our benefits and offerings.
