Job Description

We’re looking for a Senior Product Designer to help improve the way companies connect their data to our platform. Upgrading this experience will accelerate our customers’ time to value, reduce setup and maintenance costs, and set the tone for their overall experience with Alation. The greatest design challenge is in making the complex simple - and that’s exactly the challenge we want you to tackle.

One more thing...We work in a hybrid model and we encourage everyone to join us in our UK office at least two days a week to collaborate, connect, and enjoy a team atmosphere!

You’re a great fit for this role if you are:

• Curious and resourceful. You don’t wait for instructions, but are motivated by the problem and can drive a project through various stages of clarity to reach a solution.
• Motivated by the why. You know that technically delivering a piece of functionality is not enough, but that it must be desirable, viable, and feasible.
• Independent, but collaborative. You can operate with minimal oversight, but actively seek feedback from peers and stakeholders, and can thoughtfully critique the work of others.
• Analytical and creative. You dig deep into the technology to understand and challenge constraints.
• Bold and scientific. You can accept risk when needed to move a project forward, and you see it as an opportunity to test your hypothesis. You use outcomes to determine next steps.
• Self aware and growth-minded. You know that you will not always have the right answers or make the right decisions, but see these occasions as opportunities to reflect and grow.
  
  
  

• 2-3 projects representative of your range and expertise
• Your thought process around constraints, tradeoffs, risks, etc.
• Reflections on what you learned & might do differently in the future
  
  
  

• Become the expert in customer and user needs around the setup and maintenance of Alation by conducting competitive and primary research.
• Follow an iterative design process, from initial concept to final polished design, based on user feedback, usability testing results, technical capabilities, and evolving project requirements, maintaining a flexible and adaptive approach.
• Partner with user researchers to understand the customer problems and validate your designs through user testing and qualitative research.
• Ability to work independently and autonomously without losing sight of the larger user experience.
• Effectively collaborate, communicate, and explain design rationale to business and technical partners.
• Give and receive critiques in design reviews.
  
  
  

• 5-7 years of experience working as a product designer on complex consumer or enterprise applications, preferably workflow or process-oriented.
• Experience performing or participating in research at both the exploration and validation stages of a project.
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Design, Human-Computer Interaction, or a related field.
• Solid understanding of user-centered design principles and practices, and the ability to advocate for the user's perspective throughout the design process.
• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to translate complex concepts into clear and visually compelling design solutions.
• Excellent communication skills, both verbal and visual, to effectively articulate design rationale and present design concepts to stakeholders.
• Up-to-date knowledge of design trends, emerging technologies, and best practices in the field.
