About Shift:
We believe car buying should be fun, fair, and accessible to everyone. We’ve set out to transform an industry, using technology to bring transparency and convenience to the car buying process.
And we aren’t stopping there. We seek to bring that same openness and simplicity to car ownership too, with payments, maintenance, and insurance in one easy app. At SHIFT, we’re building the tools that empower people to buy, own, and sell the cars that make life go. We’ve recently entered the public markets (Nasdaq: SFT) and are experiencing rapid growth. This is a great opportunity to join a hyper growth company changing an industry.
About the role:
Help Shift transform the consumer experience around buying and selling used cars. We’ve set out to flip the script on this notoriously customer-unfriendly industry by creating a used car marketplace that puts customers at the center, aligns with them instead of against them, and creates value for them at every step in the process. We want every Shift customer to love the car they buy from us, and the experience of buying it from Shift.
What you’ll do:
- Work through all phases of the design process to ship web and mobile web products
- Partner with Product Managers in conducting user interviews and testing prototypes to inform design decisions.
- Create user flows, wireframes, low-fidelity prototypes, and high-fidelity mock-ups.
- Clearly communicate your design decisions and the thinking behind them to the team and other stakeholders. Participate in weekly critiques with the Design team, sharing early and often.
- Collaborate with Product, Engineering, and Operations to ship high-quality features at scale.
What we ask for:
- 8+ years of product design experience with internal/B2B products across web and mobile
- Product Strategy
- Excellent functional design skills.
- A portfolio that tells the story of your work and demonstrates strong UX design.
Nice to have:
- Experience in iOS and Android design
- Experience working in a fast paced, startup environment.
- Experience working on a team with strong design and consumer focus
- Strong skills in mobile web and native application design
- Experience conducting your own user research
- Front-end development knowledge
Who We Are
At Shift, we’re all about growth – which means people who are eager to grow, who are ready to roll up their sleeves and learn new things. We were founded by a scrappy group of visionaries who were by no means “car experts” – so we don’t expect you to be one, either!
We’ll take the open-minded go-getter over the pure subject matter expert any day. In that spirit, we also care about building a diverse and inclusive workplace and company. To put it simply, cars are meant for everyone, so we believe our company should be, too. We never discriminate against any candidate on the basis of gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, race, ethnicity, religion, color, national origin, marital status, veteran status or disability status. We welcome and encourage people of all backgrounds and walks of life to apply, even if you’re unsure if you meet all the requirements. (Even if this particular role isn’t the right fit, chances are we will have the right one soon!)
