About the role

Reporting to the Head of Product and Growth, you will drive the quality of our user experience by designing and improving UI and UX patterns for product features. You will also take ownership of Smart Slides, defining and creating new templates that shape the millions of presentations made with Beautiful.ai. Additionally, you will establish dedicated thought leadership around product UX and design. Your work will balance structured UI problem-solving with exploratory and conceptual design efforts.

We are looking for a strong individual contributor who can both execute high-quality UI design and contribute to broader UX strategy. You’ll work closely with Product Managers and Engineers, ensuring seamless implementation while also exploring new creative possibilities. This role requires a blend of technical UI expertise, problem-solving, and an eye for visual storytelling.

What you’ll do

UI Design & Execution: You will be responsible for designing intuitive and delightful UI for new and existing product features. Your designs will be precise, well-aligned, and thoughtfully structured to minimize engineering rework.

Attention to Detail & Problem Solving: You will work on highly detailed UI elements, ensuring precision in design components like buttons, fields, and layout alignment. A significant portion of this role involves assembling UI elements rather than completely redesigning them.
Conceptual & Exploratory Work: Roughly 30% of your time will be spent on undefined, creative projects such as designing themes or exploring new methods of improving our product design.
Collaboration with Engineering & Product: You will take ownership of design tasks, communicate effectively with the engineering team, and ensure your work is aligned with broader product objectives.
User-Centered Design Approach: You will conduct user interviews, refine personas, and advocate for the strongest UX solutions to enhance customer experiences.
