3 minute read

Our Design department is a multi-disciplinary team comprised of brand design, product design, design operations, and portfolio design. We work cross functionally with just about every team from marketing, to product, to culture to deliver a unified customer experience and make things feel like Mailchimp.

We are looking for product designers who care deeply about their customers and distilling complex problems into thoughtful, beautiful, holistic experiences. We’re looking for those who naturally do your best work when collaborating with engineering, product, research, data, and marketing. You love exploring the latest and greatest in prototyping tools while keeping emerging design patterns and visual treatments on your radar. You are always looking for ways to craft simple solutions out of complex problems with an awareness of the market need, an obsession for detail, and an eye for sharp visual design. If this sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you.

What you’ll do here:

  • Quickly grasp complex problems and develop design approaches that translate to elegant user experiences
  • Create interaction models, workflows, screen designs, and visual details that resonate with the Mailchimp user
  • Collaborate with design peers and cross functional teams to build concept consensus
  • Clearly articulate and present concepts to senior product leadership
  • Partner with product management and user research to inform deliverables, shape future roadmap discussions and cultivate transparency
  • Maintain, guide, and push the boundaries of design systems and patterns

We’d love to hear from you if:

  • You have previous experience developing consumer and/or commercial web & mobile application interfaces
  • You have a proven track record and a passion for designing compelling user experiences
  • You have solid intuition and demonstration of visual design principles and tools used in interaction design
  • You have experience creating interface prototypes and portfolio of examples
  • You have a solid understanding and ability to prototype with tools like Invision, Principle, Framer.js, Keynote or good ol fashioned HTML/Javascript/CSS

At Mailchimp, we understand that experience comes in many forms. We don’t just accept differences, we celebrate them, support them, and hire peeps from a wide variety of backgrounds because it makes our company stronger. We’re dedicated to adding new perspectives to the team – so if your experience aligns with what we’re looking for (even if you don’t check every single box), please consider applying!
