  • Develop wireframes, prototypes, and visual designs that demonstrate intuitive, engaging, and user-friendly interactions, optimized for enterprise-scale

Design Strategy and Leadership:

  • Partner closely with cross-functional leaders to align product and design strategy with overall company goals, business priorities, and market opportunities.
  • Serve as a trusted thought partner to executives, providing insights into design tradeoffs, customer needs, and competitive positioning to influence the broader product roadmap.
  • Coach and mentor other designers to up-level the craft and delivery of product design at Fountain

  • A robust portfolio showcasing your design expertise, user-centered approach, and problem-solving skills, preferably in B2B SaaS (please include your portfolio password if applicable)
  • Demonstrated functional leadership (not people leadership) experience, including mentoring designers and leading complex design projects from conception to implementation.
  • Proficiency in design tools such as Figma, Sketch, Adobe Creative Suite, or similar, with experience in prototyping and usability testing methods
  • Deep understanding of interaction design, information architecture, and visual design principles, especially as applied to complex business workflows
