Enterprise Services Designer

Day In The Life

A typical day as a Kessel Run Product Designer starts with a team stand-up to align on goals for the day. As a Product Designer you will test your product assumptions by conducting user interviews and researching your product space using prototypes and mock-ups. You’ll work to keep the team unblocked by having clear and understandable designs in the backlog while being flexible and adaptable to a fast-changing environment.

You will work closely with another Product Designer to understand your product’s problem space, understand the upstream and downstream system dependencies, and ensure that the team’s activities are aligned with the product roadmap. You empathize with users and advocate for them by synthesizing their feedback and creating an intuitive user experience . You may not have extensive product experience, but have a growth mindset and take feedback well.
