About the role:

Product designers at BigCommerce are part of the entire product development process, from concept to launch. They work closely with product managers, UX researchers, and engineers to understand the customer problem, iterate on solutions, and ship finished designs to customers.

We are looking for a product designer who can cultivate an understanding of customer problems and craft experiences that will enable our merchants and their businesses to flourish and succeed. You will be responsible for designing products and features that enable our merchants to provide best in class experiences for their shoppers by working together with a cross functional team on themes and storefront experience. This role offers a unique opportunity to work on products that will enhance the BigCommerce ecosystem and greatly impact our merchants businesses, enabling them to grow and succeed.

What you’ll do:

• Design new themes and shopper experiences for our merchant’s storefronts which leverage the full capabilities of the BigCommerce platform and define how shopper’s discover, browse, search, interact and purchase items from a store.
• Define the design system for the BigCommerce storefront, which will be foundational for new themes provided by BigCommerce and our partners.
• Drive quality and optimization of the shopper experience by understanding the levers behind shopper conversion, plus the needs of our merchants and their shoppers.
• Collaborate closely with product management and engineering to identify product direction, feature set and behaviors for your product area.
• Cultivate an understanding of the merchant’s and shopper’s problem set, competitor solutions in the market and trends in e-commerce to help effectively advocate for your design solutions.
• Create flows, sketches, prototypes, wireframes, and high fidelity mockups to communicate concepts, facilitate discussion and solicit feedback among your team and stakeholders.
Execute design across the entire product lifecycle and product launches.
• Collaborate with product designers from other teams and offices to ensure our solutions are holistic, seamless and familiar.
• Partner with product management and user research to plan and execute testing and validation of your design concepts and product rollouts.

• Naturally curious. You’re innovative, extremely creative and constantly looking for ways to tweak and optimize the process.

• Motivated. You understand the impact of a highly-satisfied, excited crew; you are slightly obsessive-compulsive about building strong relationships through candid conversation.
• Fun! You’re flexible, fearless, and excited to help build something awesome.
• A utility player. You’re willing to help out wherever needed.
