Product Designer at Just Russel

Join Just Russel in the Digital product department and be part of our mission to revolutionize pet care through innovation and data-driven solutions. As a Product Designer, you will play a crucial role in shaping the end-to-end user experience of our products.

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to align user needs, business objectives, and technical requirements.
• Utilize research, experimentation, and data analysis to inform product design decisions.

Product & Experience Responsibilities

• Own the end-to-end user experience across your product scope (Content Management System & onboarding flow on our web app)
• Translate business goals and user problems into clear, testable product and design solutions
• Lead product discovery together with Product Engineers (problem framing, flows, prototypes, usability testing)
• Proactively identify UX opportunities, challenge assumptions and suggest improvements
• Act as a UX quality gate before features ship, ensuring usability, clarity and consistency
• Use data, user feedback and experiments to iterate on shipped features
• Embrace and promote an experimentation mindset, supporting UX and product experiments
  
  
  

Design & Craft Responsibilities

• Design production-ready UI in Figma, including edge cases, states and responsive behavior
• Maintain and evolve the design system, balancing speed, consistency and scalability
• Ensure UX & UI improvements align with brand strategy and visual identity
• Work hands-on with engineers during implementation (handoff, design reviews, assets, translations, refinements)
• Review implemented features to ensure design intent and interaction quality are preserved
• Apply accessibility and usability best practices across all designs
  
  
  

Collaboration & Ways of Working

• Partner closely with Product Engineers, Software Engineers and Data Analysts to align on outcomes
• Communicate design rationale clearly and confidently to stakeholders
• Document decisions and flows where helpful, without over-processing
• Balance pragmatism and quality: knowing when to iterate fast and when to go deep
