Product Designer

Notion Product Designer

Imagine yourself in the 1970s or 80s thinking through how computing should look and feel for people who had never seen one before. That's what we're trying to do at Notion — make software that feels timeless, with the craftsmanship of German cameras, playfulness of Japanese toys, and mass appeal of Coca-Cola. We have no end of fascinating challenges that can only be solved by someone with innate product & UX sense, technical aptitude, great taste, and impeccable craft.

We're looking for a product designer who can:

• Design product concepts that balance vision, craft, speed, and business potential.
• Craft every detail of new product features, from idea to UX to pixel-perfect execution.
• Run projects end to end with engineers to drive your vision to the ship line.
• Partner closely with our Customer Experience, Sales, and Customer Success teams to understand what each of our diverse user segments need, want, and love about Notion. Use this data and acquired intuition to prioritize, plan, and scope our product roadmap.
• Work with Marketing to devise new ways to tell great stories throughout the user lifecycle, and across our site, product, help guides and other channels.
• Create new patterns that are intuitive, practical, and convergent. Evolve our design system intentionally as we scale.

You'll bring:

• Well-rounded skills and experience to run projects independently end to end. 5+ years of working experience.
• A desire to understand the needs of customers then explore and advocate for the strongest user experiences to solve their problems
• An ability to untangle vague conceptual problems and have a sharp intuition for the most accessible mental models and flows, so users can immediately start gaining value out of the product.
• A knack for creating clear, intuitive, and visually appealing human interfaces.
• An understanding of business needs, implications, and practicality of your designs. You don't get stuck on pretty UI or deep abstractions and can balance between craft, speed, and the bottom line.
• Strong beliefs, loosely held. You're a good listener who collaborates well with different stakeholders. You observe and internalize all inputs and feedback to help you reach an optimal decision.
• The ability to tell stories using both words and visuals, and strategize the best ways to drive alignment.
• A value for working cross-functionally with project management, engineering, research and data — as well as design peers.
• Curiosity and willingness to adopt AI tools to work smarter and deliver better results

Nice to have:

• Designed and built great tools with small teams in the past.
• Unique strengths and perspectives to the team.
• Experience with the work of computing heroes like Douglas Engelbart, Alan Kay, Bret Victor, etc.
• The ability to code.
