About the Role

As a Founding Product Designer, you’ll have a ground-floor opportunity in a design-driven company. Join a hyper-collaborative team and enjoy autonomy, ownership, and significant impact across the entire product. You will evolve our design processes, own entire projects, and help build a world-class customer experience.

This role is ideal for an individual contributor with a genuine desire to champion our users’ voices, move fast, own decisions, and ship products. You will help eliminate busywork and repetitive tasks for our external customers and internal teams of customer success managers, lawyers, and CPAs.

This role requires you to research and prioritize the most pressing problems, shape the product vision, ensure our team ships outstanding solutions, and synchronize with the entire team to get it adopted and improved.

This role is for you if:

• Problem and Customer Obsessed: You ask questions constantly and want to understand the why behind everything. You don’t immediately jump to a solution but work to distill the core problems at hand and always advocate for the best experience for our customers.

• Early-Stage Challenges: You’re not interested in early-stage startups.

• Location: You don’t live in NYC or want to move to NYC.

• Work Environment: You don’t want to work in person, 5 days a week in Dumbo, Brooklyn.

What success looks like:

• Shaping the Product Vision: Based on real-world problems that our customers and team are facing.

• Shipping World-Class Products: You will ensure that Sunset offers one of the most aesthetic, delightful, and well-designed experiences to our customers.

• Synchronizing with the Team: Ensuring you receive feedback from the team, conduct proper user research, and deliver solutions to the most pressing problems.

What you'll do in the first 6 months:

• Learn: Immerse yourself in everything Sunset, our customers, and the dissolution process. Gain a comprehensive knowledge of our products, services, and industry landscape.

• Lead Design and UX: Take the lead on design and user experience for most parts of our core product.

• Team Rituals: Kickstart team rituals like design critiques, journey mapping, design studios, etc.

• Leadership Role: Begin taking on more leadership roles in design discussions, offering insights and suggestions for improving existing designs.
