Lead Product Designer – Contractor

Job Description: • Lead design exploration from initial concept through tested prototypes and developer-ready deliverables. • Partner with the director of design to synthesize findings into actionable design hypotheses and recommendations. • Create user-testable prototypes in Figma that capture interaction and flow. • Work collaboratively with product management, marketing, and leadership by clearly presenting design work that balances user insights, business goals, and project constraints. You'll deliver both milestone presentations and Figma run-throughs for regular check-ins. • You think in motion and believe that using animation and transitions helps guide user interactions and improve understanding. • Project-manage your own work in close collaboration with your Product Manager. Share progress openly and maintain alignment with your team. Requirements: • 5–8+ years of experience designing digital products, ideally consumer-facing or marketplace platforms. • Proven ability to take ambiguous problems and turn them into clear, testable design directions. • You balance strategic thinking with exceptional visual and brand execution, ensuring every design feels distinctly Peerspace. • Expertise in Figma, including auto-layout, components, variants, and advanced prototyping. • Experience using at least one motion tool such as Framer, Principle, ProtoPie, or After Effects. • Demonstrated ability to work across discovery, concepting, and validation phases with a broad range of stakeholders. • Strong communication skills and experience in stakeholder management. You can align teams, tell a story, and make decisions collaboratively. • Comfortable working independently in a fast-moving, project-based environment. We’re fully remote, so staying transparent about what you’re working on and showing progress is key. You manage your time well and naturally keep others in the loop. • Bonus: Curious about how AI tools can accelerate exploration, prototyping, or content generation. Benefits: Apply tot his job
