Position Overview
Diligent is looking for a Product Designer to support UX/UI design work within our dynamic and fast-moving product design team. Existing within the broader UX department, the design team oversees a range of projects providing the organization flexibility to explore future vision product work and support work that doesn’t align to product team roadmaps.
Key Responsibilities
- Partner with the Product Design Lead and/or Project Owner to ensure design work aligns with project requirements and meets internal quality standards.
- Take ownership of the end-to-end design process - from early concepts to high-fidelity visuals and developer handoff.
- Work closely with fellow designers, Product Managers, Engineers, and cross-functional stakeholders.
- Clearly communicate design decisions, demonstrating a solid understanding of user needs, design best practices, and business goals.
- Conduct user research activities as needed.
- Support and contribute to a culture of ongoing learning and continuous improvement.
The person who will succeed in this role possesses:
- A genuine interest in making a difference by designing products that support better decision-making across companies, nonprofits, educational institutions, and communities.
- A strong passion for user-centered design and empathy for real user needs.
- An ability to take ownership of your work – you make decisions, defend them soundly, and hold yourself responsible for the outcomes they produce.
- A mindset geared toward action — you enjoy exploring problems, proposing solutions, and bringing ideas to life.
- A desire to work in a high-paced team environment where you have an opportunity to contribute and make a difference.
- A belief that great design starts with a team with a culture of design excellence and want to actively contribute to it.
Required Experience/Skills:
- 3+ years of professional experience in UX or product design.
- Solid foundation in UX principles with a strong emphasis on visual design.
- Comfortable managing multiple design tasks and shifting priorities in a fast-paced environment.
- Portfolio showcasing user-centered design work and a thoughtful design process.
- Degree in design, technology, psychology, or equivalent practical experience.
- Some experience designing SaaS products, ideally in B2B or enterprise contexts.
- Exposure to product design cycles — from early exploration to launch and iteration.
- Proficient with modern design tools such as Figma, Sketch, or Adobe XD.
- Clear and effective communication skills, both written and verbal.
- Experience designing for web and mobile platforms.
- Familiarity with HTML/CSS is a strong plus.
- Bonus: Experience with illustration, iconography, or motion design.
