Senior Product Designer

Hi there,

Let me tell you a story. A long time ago, everyone paid upfront for what they owned. But ownership had high entry costs. What if you couldn’t afford to pay for a car (or a horse)? This meant that you had to take the bus to work (or walk across the desert).

A long time ago, a business sold to a customer, made money, and that was that. They didn’t know where their next sale would come from, or if they would see that customer ever again.

All of this was a long time ago. Then someone thought, “Instead of selling the horses, what if I rented them out long term, for a monthly fee? I could then predict how much money I’d make every month, and attract more riders – because renting is cheaper than buying.” And soon, everyone was doing it. Today, the subscription economy champions flexible spending, increases access to revenue, and fosters long-lasting customer relationships.

If you enjoyed this little story, I believe you will enjoy working at Chargebee.

Here’s a little bit about me, the storyteller. My name is Gianni Favaretto. I am the Director of Design at Chargebee, and I am passionate about leading my team with kindness, care, and trust.

What I am looking for in a designer
Here’s a list of qualities I like to see in a product designer. While I believe that a good designer is more than just a list, I also want you to have some means for self-evaluation. This can serve as the starting point for our discussions.

You have a several years of experience managing stakeholders and business requirements in e-commerce and crafting high-quality visual designs.
A portfolio that reflects your work.
You have a good level of self-awareness and humble confidence. [You know your stuff, but you need to learn more. You know what you’re doing, but are open to being mistaken and learning]
You can communicate clearly and you have practical communication skills, including presentation writing and delivery.
You put the user at the heart of your designs. [The user is the hero in most of our stories.]
You have familiarity and experience prototyping with HTML, CSS, and UI frameworks like Tailwind CSS. Plus, you have the ability to articulate your design decisions.
You have a track record of effective collaboration with product development and engineering teams.
You are well-versed in a range of concepts from information architecture to user testing.
If this sounds interesting but you’re not sure you’ll tick all the boxes, apply anyway! There’s tons of room to grow at Chargebee.

Chargebee is an equal opportunity employer. Here, you will be welcomed and cherished regardless of gender, race, color, sexual orientation, and beliefs.
