The Role

As a Product Designer II, you will be an integral part of a team directly connected to our customers, partnering with Product Managers and Engineers to design intuitive, engaging software experiences across the Drilling portfolio and [REDACTED] product suite.

In this role, you will have the opportunity to:

  • Build a proficient understanding of customer needs and user behaviours across the Drilling portfolio and [REDACTED] product suite.
  • Partner with Product Managers to conduct generative research, develop models of user behaviour, and translate research and product usage data into design improvements.
  • Collaborate with Product Managers, subject matter experts, and Engineers to test design concepts with users and incorporate feedback into evolving solutions.
  • Design user experiences for desktop and cloud environments, selecting appropriate tools, methods, and design patterns from concept through prototype.
  • Evaluate design alternatives against usability, accessibility, performance, security, brand, and applicable legislative or regulatory requirements.
  • Create polished visual and interaction designs, wireframes, and mock-ups using Figma, applying strong colour, typography, layout, and user-flow principles.
  • Plan and facilitate user research activities, collect and analyse data, and support the synthesis of insights, reports, and presentations.
  • Assess the usability and accessibility of existing, proposed, and competitor experiences to establish benchmarks and recommend actions.
  • Build high-trust, cross-functional relationships with Product Management, Engineering, Developers, Sales, Customer Experience, Marketing, and peers in Product Design.

To be successful in this role, you should have:

  • A bachelor's degree, or equivalent, in Product Design or a related field.
  • At least 5 years of experience working in a Product Design team within a commercial software product company.
  • Proficient knowledge of product customers and users, with experience supporting customer and user interactions as part of a Product Design team.
  • Proficient knowledge of the segments and industries served by the product, with developing knowledge of relevant software products and domains.
  • Strong capability with product design methods, tools, applications, and processes, including expertise in Figma.
  • Experience performing varied, sometimes complex and non-routine design work using a methodical approach, sound judgement, and creative problem-solving.
  • Effective written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to collaborate with and influence colleagues, users, customers, suppliers, and partners.
  • The ability to work under general direction, plan and monitor your own work within deadlines, use discretion on complex issues, and escalate when appropriate.
  • A commitment to continuous learning and professional development, with appropriate working knowledge of security, privacy, and ethics in non-routine work.
