## Job Description

## Key Responsibilities

### Product Design
- Own the end-to-end product design process — from early concept and user flows through wireframes, high-fidelity mockups, and polished final specs
- Work closely with engineering and product to ship experiences that are fast, intuitive, and delightful — balancing craft with velocity
- Contribute to and help evolve Concourse's design system in **Figma**, raising consistency and quality as the product grows
- Translate complex financial data and AI-powered workflows into interfaces that feel simple and powerful for our users
- Incorporate customer feedback and user research into design decisions continuously

### Brand & Visual Identity
- Own Concourse's visual identity across key touchpoints — website, marketing assets, decks, social, and beyond
- Design compelling materials that help prospects, customers, and investors understand and feel excited about what Concourse is building
- Partner with GTM and founders to bring Concourse's brand narrative to life visually

### Design Leadership
- Set a high design standard and be the person the team looks to for taste, quality, and creative direction
- Move fast without sacrificing quality — you know when to go deep and when to ship
- Help strengthen design culture and ways of working with engineering as the team grows

## About You
- **3-6 years** of product design experience, ideally at a fast-moving startup or high-bar tech company
- World-class **Figma** skills, working fast, staying organized, and producing specs that engineers love to build from
- Strong product instincts, thinking about flows, edge cases, and user psychology, not just how things look
- A portfolio that shows range: complex product UI, clean visual design, and an eye for detail that is immediately obvious
- Hungry, opinionated, and high-ownership, excited to lead and elevate, not just execute
- Comfortable working in ambiguity and energized by the opportunity to make a real mark on a product
- Strong communicator who can articulate design decisions clearly to founders, engineers, and non-designers alike
- Experience designing data-heavy or enterprise products (**preferred** but not required)
- Comfortable technically or with vibe coding, the more technical the better (**preferred** but not required)
