Sr Product Designer

The opportunity

Adobe Design is seeking a Sr Product Designer to rethink video editing workflows for a new generation of creatives!

The mission of this team is to bring the power of our best-in-class tools to the everyday creator in the simplest form possible.

This role will be essential in making that happen by unwinding an inherently complex problem space into an approachable, yet powerful, set of workflows. This could be you!

The ideal candidate will take great pleasure in all these activities: whiteboarding with engineers, getting into the nitty gritty of video editing; intimately understanding the how's and why's of the creative’s work; and iterating on user experience designs until you make the user jump with joy.

This hinges on you being fearless in chasing down all the implications behind the underlying technology, taking the knowledge gained from user research, and synthesizing both sides down into clear designs.

What you’ll be working on

• Design video editing tools and workflows that elegantly transition from the simple to the most powerful.
• Partner closely with Product Management and Engineering to strategize on how best to deliver high-impact, innovative features in the overall product roadmap.
• Evangelize and communicate your designs through sketches, storyboards hi-fidelity mockups, prototypes, or animations.
• Engage with Engineering to understand the feasibility of your designs, proposing smart alternatives along the way and creating detailed design specifications from which they’ll build.

What you need to succeed

Must-haves:

• A portfolio that showcases visual and interaction design work and a user-centered design process
• Ability to share design rationale persuasively and concisely to all functions of the organization, including executives
• Ability to prototype your ideas to get feedback on your ideas
• Thrive in a culture of critiques, collaborative design, and the camaraderie of the tight-knit design team
• Experience conducting your own user research –from contextual inquiry to usability studies –presenting study results, and acting on insights
• 5+ years in related field
• Experience building and shipping software
• Bachelor/ Master’s degree in design, or equivalent work experience, with an emphasis on human computer interaction, visual design, interaction design, product design or related field

Nice-to-haves:

• Experience as a practicing video editor, photo editor, or motion designer, either professionally, through school, or as a serious hobbyist
• Experience designing for creative professionals in the productivity space
