The Founding Product Designer has a key characteristic in their experience that allows them to be a highly successful and impactful founding Designer. Their BREADTH of experience is often a key differentiator that I deliver to founders when I'm hiring their Founding Product Designer. Ensuring those founders have a Designer with a broad enough toolkit allows them to focus on the business and next stages, whilst this designer can balance a multitude of tasks to ensure Design is not a blocker to progress. #design #productdesign #foundingproductdesigner #designhiring #productdesignhiring #DesignedTalent

One of my favourite parts about being a Product Manager is my close collaboration with #ProductDesigners during the intensive product discovery stage. With so many ways to solve user problems, how can we be certain that the ideas we come up with are the best solutions? At Fave, we incorporate many different product discovery methods (often a shared responsibility between PM x PD) to get to the root of the problem, like: 💬 User interviews 🧪 Usability testing 🎨 Design sprints 📊 Analysing user data 🗺️ User journey mapping One such example of incorporating all these methods was when we revamped the new user onboarding flow to address our very much outdated and confusing onboarding experience. The contribution of the Product Designers to this project was invaluable and led to great success of the product rollout. 📣 If you're interested in exploring opportunities at Fave in solving user problems and building products with enthusiastic PMs, you're in luck because we are #hiring a Senior Product Designer! ✨ Curious about the role?

Another day, another role at our growing company 🎉 Grow Progress is #hiring a Senior Product Designer to help many of the most influential groups in Democratic politics and social good advocacy maximize the number of people they persuade in a critical year. In this role, you’ll practice product design as a full-stack sport. You will conduct user research, design new features, and work with product and engineering to bring new products to the market. You will be expected to move fluidly between the macro and micro, paying as much attention to the execution of the corner radius of a button as you do to the interdependencies between large product areas. About You: You’re a seasoned designer in the middle of your career with a particular proclivity for working on design systems and executing polished user interfaces. Ambiguity excites you, and so does making stuff; you’re committed to being iterative and experimental but ready to use data to back up your decisions; you’re prepared to have strong opinions and to express them, but you understand your role as the facilitator, engager, and synthesizer; you’re constantly thinking about frameworks and processes that will help align your team while centering the user. In addition to your hard skills, you also bring an above-average amount of empathy to your work. You think deeply about others and are committed to continually improving how you communicate and build relationships with both users and your coworkers. You are the person in the room thinking the most about those with the least; you dream of a more accessible, inclusive, and equitable world and are constantly envisioning ways to build towards it.

In the famous movie Shawshank Redemption, the protagonist (Andy Dufresne) was wrongfully convicted and sent to prison for 2 life sentences. In his prison cell, he started tirelessly chipping away at the same spot on the wall with his small rock collection, day after day, month after month, year after year. Eventually, he broke through and created a tunnel to his freedom. Where am I going with this? Well similarly, in you career, chipping away in the same targeted area can yield remarkable results compared to a scattered approach. 👉Focus on specific areas of interest, strengths, and industries. 👉Niche down, and it draws recruiters and hiring managers to you. 👉 Chip away in the same space, over and over again until you break through. As a tangible example, here are 3 titles, going from generic to specific: ❌ Average: "Senior Product Designer Looking For My Next Opportunity" ✅ Better: "Senior Product Designer | Prototyping Specialist" 🚀🚀 Best: "Senior Product Designer | Prototyping Specialist | Healthcare-Tech Advocate and Former Nurse" At the end of the day, YOU are your own brand, with unique abilities, knowledge, and experience.

After watching Mission Impossible movie and while everyone was praising Ethan Hunt for saving the world while maintaining a preternaturally youthful appearance, I couldn't help but think of the unsung heroes of the intelligence community: the UX designers, product managers, and front-end engineers who created the elaborate, highly detailed mission briefs. A group of highly skilled UX designers and front-end developers huddled around their sleek, high-tech workstations. They're furiously clicking away, adjusting pixels and crafting the perfect user interface for Ethan Hunt and his crew. Meanwhile, the product managers are there, ensuring that every element of the mission brief aligns with the overall objectives. "All right, team, we need a drop-down menu that reveals the location of the secret hideout. And make it interactive! I don't care if it covers the mission brief. That's a trade-off I am ok with" "Guys! Who picked this photo of the villain? Can we dim it and decrease the saturation to make them look more evil?" They might not be hanging from helicopters, but they're the real MVPs behind the scenes, making sure the world's most dangerous missions have the slickest user interfaces. All of this begs the question: is the CIA hiring Product Managers? Where can I apply? #missionimpossible #SuperSpyPM #SpyLifeUX #productmanagement

Isn't it bizarre that in one company you might have: 1 x Head of Product Design - with over 20+ direct reports/people remit.  6 x Head of Product - with just 3 direct reports/people remit each. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with hiring multiple heads of product to run tribes/pods and acknowledge that team remit size isn't always a direct correlation to seniority. Although in most cases I find this isn't the case when comparing responsibility between the two job roles. Often, a Head of Product Design's responsibilities may be more closely aligned with the Director or VP of Product than a Head of Product. If you’re a Head of Product Design or UX reading this message and this applies to you, then you’re well within your rights to go back to your organisation with a business case to realign your job title to something closer which reflects your remit like ‘Director’.
