Sr. Product Designer

Ziff Davis Shopping is rebuilding its digital product experiences and redefining the role of design across the company. They are seeking a principal product designer who can architect systems, shape product strategy, and deliver high-quality mobile and web experiences.

Responsibilities:

• Translate ambiguous problem spaces into clear flows and interaction models across all consumer channels (Native Mobile, Web, Channel, etc.)
• Define patterns and reusable components, not just one-off screens
• Design decision-heavy experiences that build trust and clarity
• Deliver build-ready designs in close partnership with engineering
• Connect design decisions to overall product strategy and business objectives
• Establish scalable navigation and information architecture across all channels
• Contribute to and evolve a cross-channel design system
• Design interaction models that extend cleanly as the product grows
• Anticipate future states, not just immediate needs
• Support experimentation and A/B testing across all touchpoints
• Use research and data to refine experiences over time
• Balance speed and quality without sacrificing either
• Continuously improve core journeys as the product matures
• Collaborate on feasibility and tradeoffs early
• Participate in QA and ensure design fidelity in shipped builds
• Design with performance, platform conventions, and accessibility in mind
• Reduce ambiguity before development begins

Requirements:

• 6-10 years of product design experience
• Deep experience in commerce, loyalty, deals, or marketplaces — you understand purchase-intent UX and loyalty mechanics
• Proven track record shipping and evolving consumer experiences across native mobile, web, and other channels
• Experience taking products from early releases to scaled maturity
• Demonstrated ability to influence product roadmap and strategy through design excellence
• Strong systems thinker — you design patterns, not just pages (for all channels)
• Exceptional interaction and visual design skills
• Comfortable moving between high-level strategy and detailed execution
• Fluency with AI-assisted design and prototyping tools — and the judgment to help define how the team uses them
• Able to operate in ambiguous, fast-moving environments
• Self-directed and comfortable owning major areas independently
• You don't need heavy process scaffolding to be effective
• You think in terms of long-term product integrity
• You push for clarity, not just completion
• You're collaborative but opinionated
• You care about what ships — not just what's designed
