Associate Product Designer (Part-Time)

Our team incubates new and promising ideas while working with other Match Group brands like Tinder, Hinge, Match and others to empower innovation across our portfolio of products. We build products that bring people together. We are dedicated to developing, innovating, and evolving a global brand identity consumed by millions. We’re a tight-knit team with ambitious standards. We are looking for two entrepreneurially driven product designers to help us build the next “big thing” for Match Group. This is a part time role, where you will be working 20 hours per week on a three month contract basis. We are open to all skill levels, including candidates currently enrolled in college.
You will be empowered to take initiative on end-to-end design projects, including getting alignment on design objectives and priorities with key stakeholders. You will join a close-knit group of designers and work closely with Research, Product Managers, Data Science, Business Intelligence, and Engineering to craft innovative experiences combined with best-in-class practices in this space.
When it comes to dating, the connection starts online, but the real magic happens once you meet in real life (IRL). We think the same is true for creating the best platforms, so we work together IRL in our LA offices 2 days/week with flexibility for fully remote work.

Some things you’ll do:

• Rapidly iterate and refine design concepts－from initial briefing through final delivery.
• Work collaboratively with cross-functional partners to identify key design hypotheses and prioritize projects in the short and long term.
• Communicate design decisions in compelling and creative ways; bridge alignment across teams through high-fidelity prototypes and live presentations to cross-functional partners.
• Test, learn, and iterate on everything you do alongside your product and research peers.
• Be comfortable exploring the unknown using fresh and unique approaches to design problems.

Some skills you’ll need:

• Either professional or academic experience in product design, UI/UX design or visual design
• Bonus points if you have basic front end development skills
• Portfolio that demonstrates evidence of ideating and creating different features and products.
• You are highly motivated to learn new things about complex technology, cultural and demographic nuances, and their impact on various user experiences.
• Ability to work independently to explore concepts from beginning to end, yet also crave healthy feedback loops with your ideas.
• A high-level of craftsmanship when it comes to UI.
• Proficient in Figma, including high-fidelity prototyping and component libraries.
• Passionate and curious about how design can be leveraged to improve users’ ability to find and maintain romantic connections.

What's the team like?

• We’re a small, nimble team that iterates fast to bring new dating products to our users. More startup vibe than big company
• We're constantly trying to reimagine human connection by embracing new technologies, anticipating changes in the global digital zeitgeist, and unlocking new and exciting ways to bring people together
