About The Role:

The purpose of this job is to be a key partner and collaborator with Product, Engineering and other cross-functional teams to provide the best possible ideas and solutions at every stage of the product design lifecycle.

 

We will expect you to plan and oversee product vision from a high level as well as execute designs at a detailed level for our suite of web and mobile products. In doing so, we will expect you to act as a voice of the customer, the voice of good design and user experience, and a key partner to our Product and Engineering teams.

You'll generate and express ideas to product owners, designers, engineers, leadership and other stakeholders throughout the organization. Design is a very collaborative process at Yello, and this role will involve a lot of cross-functional interaction, and is definitely not a "behind the scenes" role!

What We're Looking For:

Key deliverables in this role include feedback and designs along every phase of the product design lifecycle, including initial wireframes all the way through high-fidelity interactive products.  We work using Agile Development methodologies, so the ability to think quickly, design quickly, and adapt quickly are all valuable skills.

 

More specifically, qualifications and responsibilities include:

• Ability to actively and constantly collaborate, turning ideas into meaningful and impactful experiences

• Ability have a holistic view, understanding, and strong consideration of design and user experience, including layout, typography, color theory, visual hierarchy, and working knowledge of Sketch or Adobe CC

• Ability to conceptualize and communicate design ideas to stakeholders and promote product design within the organization

• Ability to deliver on short term needs that fit into long term vision, including creating sketches and user flows, wireframes, interactive prototypes, and polished, production-ready user interface and visual designs

A portfolio including product or interface design is required upon applying.

What You Can Expect From Us:
The Product Design team at Yello falls within the broader Product Team that also includes Web and Mobile Product Owners, Integration Management, and Technical Communications. You'll be joining a team of fun, ambitious and passionate people who want to continue pushing the boundaries of our product portfolio!

At Yello, we work together to improve the hiring experience and power recruitment programs. Every Yello team member is empowered to grow each day and achieve new career accomplishments, and we always make time to celebrate team members’ successes. Our Loop office is steps away from public transportation, overlooks Lake Michigan and our open concept office offers plenty of space to collaborate with colleagues, or to work independently. We offer health, dental and vision insurance, a competitive 401k match, a reimbursement for fitness memberships and support for ongoing learning. Above all, we look forward to coming to work each day to solve interesting problems and make the impossible, possible.
