Job Description:
Digital Product Designer
Location Dublin
Digital Product Designers at Storyful fuse lots of different design knowledge (research, interaction, usability, visual) to solve problems iteratively. Knowledge of the full design stack is essential, but most of our designers tend to have a passion and focus in a specific area (e.g. visual design) that complements the rest of their team.
For this role, we are looking for someone who has proven expertise and experience in visual and interaction design. Exceptional candidates will demonstrate experience across all areas of design.
Designers at Storyful work closely with Product Owners (POs), who are responsible for maximizing the value of the product and the work of the team. You’ll help POs understand user intentions, and to solve problems they might not even realize they have. Working with others to solicit useful feedback, challenge assumptions and reach consensus will happen daily. You’ll get to demonstrate your passion for polish, attention to detail, and love of building interactions and interfaces that delight with every pixel.
You will join a diverse, global and motivated team that redefined newsgathering for the social media age and is ready to do it all over again. Checking in with the world’s leading digital journalists and technologists in our New York, Hong Kong and Dublin offices every day is all part of the fun. Great benefits, working environments and chances to improve your skills come as standard.
Designer Responsibilities
• Work closely with the PO and team to support and inform their work. PO is responsible for product vision, stakeholder co-ordination, team communication and task prioritization
• Ensure all products are compliant with standards set out throughout the company.
• Creating tasks to achieve the work required
• Appropriate research to carry out the task
• Managing the estimation and time management of tasks
• Ensuring they fulfill acceptance criteria and Definition of Done
Essential Skills
• Converting feature-sets and flows into mockups, high-level application maps and wireframes of the application for use in validation and testing.
• Building high-fidelity wireframes, low-fidelity visual designs and interactives for user testing
• Final visual design and the development of a design language to bring skeletal wireframes to life. Through visual hierarchy, color, transition and typography, a great visual designer leads users through tasks intuitively and adds warmth to the experience.
• Ensuring consistency across a product or suite of products and align typography, buttons and other UI elements.
• Being the link between front-end development and design, support with HTML and CSS where applicable
Useful Skills
• Supporting Product Owner on competitive analysis, product-market fit and understanding market trends and expectations.
• Gathering data about how users perform tasks, pain points, expectations, and opportunities for improvement through the adequate evaluations methods (for instance interviews, focus groups, surveys, or contextual observation).
• Developing User Personas to inform product decisions.
• Building user journeys and flows to delineate the steps a user will take to accomplish a variety of tasks at a high level.
