Job Summary

The Junior Product Designer is a foundational member of WealthCounsel's product design team, responsible for designing clear, well-crafted experiences across our software products.

You bring curiosity, growing user empathy, and a commitment to craft, taking increasing ownership of features and product areas as you develop in the role.

Apply design system patterns consistently; contribute to iterative improvement

User Empathy & Research

Participate in user research activities (usability tests, interviews, and discovery sessions) with support from senior designers

Shadow Support troubleshooting sessions and Member Success training sessions to build direct understanding of how attorneys use our products

Review support tickets and feature requests to identify patterns

Develop understanding of user needs based on direct observation

Product Knowledge

Review release notes and change logs to understand what's changed and why

Collaboration & Process

Incorporate critique feedback effectively and iterate quickly

Work closely with the Senior Product Designer and Manager to evolve the design system and pattern library

Communicate design rationale clearly to PMs and Engineers â?? practice explaining why
