About Us
CitizenShipper is a share-economy shipping and transportation marketplace that connects people who want something delivered with drivers who can do the delivery. As a marketplace, we’ve helped tens of thousands of people ship everything from pets to cars and boats.
This is a crucial role and is all about owning the design process from beginning to end, leading user-centric prototyping with a clear bias towards action. We are at a critical junction in the growth of our company, and you will play a key role in the buildout of the entire platform as we grow both our systems and platforms and our design teams.
We are a virtual team, and all work remotely. We have team members spanning the globe, though it would be ideal if you have at least 4 hours overlap with US Central Time (GMT -6).
What you’ll do
- Be on the front lines as we uplift our platform as well as our upcoming native apps
- Think and design holistically to create a cohesive and coherent product experience that delivers high value for organizations and their learners
- Tackle complex puzzles, providing users with intuitive tools and processes
- Create UX flows, wireframes, prototypes, design mockups, specs, and production assets
- Collaborate with team members and customers for ideas, insights, and feedback
- Provide and receive feedback gracefully and without ego
- You value thorough research. This includes, but is not limited to, competitor research, user interviews, and usability testing. You understand inspiration can be drawn from the most unlikely places
- Work with tools like Figma, Jira, Product Board, Framer, Miro, and more

About the cover letter
We don’t need a fancy intro; skip the cut and paste job. But we do expect a link to your portfolio (dribble, Behance, your own) and a (short) cover letter, or we’ll reject your application.
We will read it and value what you say.
