TELECOMMUTE LOCATION: Remote, Work From Anywhere
We are Pixellu, a software company on a mission to simplify professional photographers’ lives. We are seeking a world-class Lead Product Designer to head our product design. You’ll be working directly with the VP of Product & CEO to develop a product vision and execute on that vision with the help of UX/UI, Product Owners/Managers, and Engineering.

- Research: Conduct user research and testing.
- Plan: Help shape the product strategy and vision. Drive product roadmaps & set feature priorities.
- Prototype: Define the user experience, interactions, and user interface through user flows, information architecture, sketches and wireframes, and visual design. Build functional prototypes to validate and test your designs.
- Design: Design simple, elegant, data-driven, user-centric experiences that delight users.
- Lead: Lead our small team of UX/UI and Product Owners/Managers.
