Job description
In this role, you'll lead the end-to-end design process for complex features and products-starting with early-stage concepts that help stakeholders and leaders deeply understand the customer experience, while collaborating closely with engineering throughout execution.
You'll partner with designers across Alexa to adopt and extend existing design systems. As you create new patterns and uncover best practices, you'll contribute to Figma libraries and share learnings with the broader team.
We're looking for someone with strong visual design skills who can deliver production-level, highly polished visual designs and assets. You should be highly proficient with industry-standard visual design tools (e.g., Figma and related prototyping and asset workflows), with a sharp eye for typography, layout, motion, and detail.
You'll also incorporate insights from relevant Alexa research, conduct hallway testing, and run user research to inform and validate decisions.
Throughout, you'll collaborate with peer designers, product and tech owners, marketing, solutions architects, and business development to ensure the customer remains at the center of decision-making. This role offers opportunities to expand your craft, grow your influence, and deliver best-in-class experiences for both businesses and end customers.
A day in the life In this role, you'll support a product that is still in its early stages. You'll design net-new concepts that make life more enjoyable for our customers, dream up new ways of solving long-standing problems, and partner with solutions architects, tech teams, and business development to refine our product offerings and secure new commitments from our business partners. One week you might run user research to test how customers interpret and respond to the experience you're designing while another week you might partner with a solutions architect to build a working prototype for a conversational experience. No matter what, you'll operate with ownership and autonomy throughout your day.
