Wistia is a video marketing software company working to make business more human with video. We help our customers stay ahead of the curve by enabling them to record videos, host webinars, edit and organize videos, as well as measure performance–all in one platform. We’re super excited to help businesses achieve their goals through simple and delightful video-focused products.

We are seeking a Senior Product Designer II to lead design for our recording software, a core capability of Wistia’s creative tools. On the Record team you’ll design features that enable users to record videos remotely with a team or independently, as well as collect recordings from collaborators. You’ll explore everything from the aesthetics of the video itself to nuanced producer interactions, empowering non-experts to create polished and impactful content with minimal effort. You’ll have the ability to make a broad impact as you lead collaborative efforts, connecting your work with teams across the platform.

You’ll report to our Director of Product Design who leads design across our Create pillar, which also includes video editing and webinar software. You’ll be involved in each stage of development, from strategy and creative exploration to implementation. You’ll collaboratively shape a vision for Record’s future and will contribute a user-centered lens to feature prioritization. Embedded within a cross-functional team of design, product, and engineering partners, you’ll help uphold the following values for inclusive design:

Intentional Simplicity. Design is best when the product is the simplest for users rather than the designer. Your designs strike the right balance of simplicity, making our tools straightforward and intuitive to new users versus unremarkable.

Meaningful Creativity. This is achieved when the final product results from many inputs and active exploration. You’ll help designers add meaning through their creativity and focus ideation around a real customer problem or desire.

Polished Presentation. This means much more than pixel-perfect design; it includes the assets and processes to implement the design successfully. Our team should feel inspired when we see each other’s designs at every stage along the way to implementation.

Ambitious and Determined. Ambitious design is, by definition, difficult to achieve. So, when designing for the future, you’ll consider long-term benefits, not just short-term inconveniences. Helping your team be ambitious sets us up for better outcomes, considering what we know about the business, the market, and excellent product design processes.

You have:

• 8+ years of real-world experience designing software or web applications

• Expertise with visual design fundamentals, interaction design, and multi-step workflows
• A user-centered approach, articulating the “why” in terms of user insights and business needs
• Strong design intuition, which affords you the ability to make confident decisions
• Excellent cross-discipline collaboration, balancing user advocacy, curiosity, and compromise

To be the most successful here, you:

• Bring experience with B2B SAAS, recording, audio, video, streaming, or marketing products
• Lead user research to build empathy and make informed decisions

• Are highly proficient with Figma, leveraging design systems, and responsive design
• Account for accessibility guidelines through design implementaiton
• Are your team’s strongest user advocate and uphold a high bar for quality

• Partner with your team to define near-term requirements and explore strategic opportunities 
• Proactively engage with folks inside and outside your team, seeking insights to shape decisions
