What You'll Do
As a Senior Product Designer for Forge, you'll be responsible for designing end-to-end user experiences for the growing number of Forge applications. More tactically, you will:
- Contribute to roadmap shaping and decision-making for product and design strategy.
- Own all aspects of design execution from discovery, ideation, prototyping, testing, and implementation.
- Use storytelling to align and bring stakeholders along in your design process.
- Play an influential role in shaping the end-to-end experiences for critical manufacturing and onsite workflows.
- Balance short-term tactical bets while making meaningful progress towards long-term design system pursuits.

Who You Are
- Creative by default. Your work opens a world of possibilities for what we can build. You garner feedback with team members, walk in your users' shoes, and explore external trends to get your inspiration. You thrive in ideation and refine through iteration, and you lean on your instinct and experience to produce work that elicits an emotional response.
- Systems thinker. You think beyond the pixels and think holistically about the entire experience. You understand the immediate problem that needs solving at its core, but also can consider the extensibility of the solution elsewhere. You can make decisions on whether individual components should apply to a greater design system and champion the implementation of those components to other parts of the product.
- Storyteller. You are an effective communicator. You can tell a story through the lens of your users, and your mocks resonate because you understand them well. Your story has a beginning, middle, and end, taking your audience on a journey that engages their problems head on, welcomes feedback, all while showing the savvy of the solution.
