About the Role

As a Senior Product Designer (UI Specialist) on our team, you will be primarily responsible for the design and intuitive flow of our core products. Lawyers are a demanding user base, so our products must be engaging, simple and easy to learn in minutes. You will be tasked with overhauling the current design to a new standard as well as engaging with the Product, Customer Success and Engineering teams working with ongoing feature designs as we consider new capabilities we can deliver to lawyers. You'll design, build and iterate on prototypes, deliver polished screens to our engineering team and validate your designs are having a positive impact on actual usage.

We are quickly growing the number of lawyers on the platform and need DraftWise to be compelling, fun and valuable - but we can only do this with your help!

We are a growing team and expect all members to flexibly help wherever the company needs them the most - if you have an idea for what DraftWise needs, we want to empower you to pursue that project. You will have broad ownership over your initiatives, the ability to shape our culture as we grow and flexibility over your schedule. We will encourage you to take the lead on bringing our technology to the hands of the lawyer.
