Overview: 

The Senior Product Designer (Specialist) will take their expertise in user-centered design methods to craft industry-leading user experiences — from concept to execution. You’ll work with other designers, product managers, developers, and other stakeholders to build beautiful, innovative, inspired products that people love to use. You’ll take ownership of crafting the experience of a number of products for our consumers – thinking about the entire customer journey and every interaction whether it’s on- or off-screen. 

You should have at least 5 years’ experience as a product designer. This is a hands-on individual contributor role. We have a hybrid setup, so you need to be on-site at our office in Mandaluyong, Metro Manila 3 days a week. 

What you will do:

• Lead the design for a product area – You will help drive the future vision for specific product features or domains, making sure the overall experience is holistic and cohesive, and delivering on incremental steps to help the team reach key business objectives. 
• Deeply understand the users – You will be the advocate of our users within the broader team, equipped with the knowledge and insight gained through conducting user research sessions, learning from previous insights, reading data reports or running benchmarking studies. 
• Deliver polished, intuitive and accessible user experiences – Your designs are balanced and pragmatic that takes into account the ideal experience, our brand and design language, technical constraints, business priorities and risk factors.
• Work closely with stakeholders – You’ll work closely with product managers, engineers, marketers and other business stakeholders to understand product requirements and priorities, and influence the product experience with innovative UX and design solutions.
• Manage design assets – You’ll ensure that all design artefacts you create (from user journey maps to prototypes and final UI designs) are aligned with the rest of the app, and help develop new patterns, styles, guidelines and best practices. 
• Help take the Maya experience to the next level – We’re a small team punching above our weight, and we all play a crucial role in improving the standard of our design practice, whether that’s through learning a new skill, providing helpful feedback or giving a helping hand on a tricky problem.

•    At least 5 years of experience in designing digital products and services
•    Experience in designing for cross platform (iOS, Android, web, tablet, etc.)
•    Experience in launching large scale products

IMPORTANT NOTE: We value critical thinking as well as your own views on visual design. Thus, you must provide a portfolio with case studies that can highlight who you are as a designer, how you think and work, and your skills. Portfolios that only include screenshots of the final output will not be considered. 

OUR MANTRA

Our defiance isn’t without reason. The questions we dare to ask aren’t without cause. We challenge the way things are to transform into something better – as humans, employees, collaborators, and enablers.

To be part of Team Maya is to be Bolder for Better.
