Product Designer III

We’re Charlie and we’re on a mission to Make Work Better by equipping small businesses to deliberately craft their culture every day.

We design our products to have all the warmth of a human, to make the hard stuff simple and to leave nobody behind.

Making work better for our customers starts with us; that means giving Product Designers a lot of autonomy and flexibility, fostering an open feedback culture where we can all learn and grow together, continuously improving our practices and surrounding ourselves with brilliant people.

Come on and join us to make work better!

What is a Product Designer III?

We have a progression framework which includes Individual Contributor and People Manager tracks. IC1 would be Junior Product Designer and IC4 is a Senior Product Designer. IC2 and 3 cover that middle area which would often only be labelled as “Product Designer”. We expect a Product Designer III to make well-reasoned design decisions, to be proactive in fixing issues, to take initiative to propel the design function forward and to be a great communicator and cross-functional collaborator.

• Proposing, testing and refining designs until they deliver predicted outcomes
• Designing experiences that people love, remember and recommend
• Inspiring the design function and helping implementing new ideas and processes
