What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Product Designer position at Coast?
Coast is re-imagining the trillion-dollar U.S. B2B card payments infrastructure, with a focus on the country’s 500,000 commercial fleets, 10 million commercial vehicles, and 4 million commercial drivers. The incumbent technologies that cater to these customers are decades old, and drivers and fleets increasingly demand modern digital experiences and affordable and transparent financial services products. Coast's mission is to deliver them at a transformational scale, beginning with the Coast Fleet and Fuel Card built on a cutting-edge spend management platform.

- Drive growth for the company by creating designs for a best-in-class spend management platform that saves our customers money and time
- Lead design projects of significant complexity and scope
- Collaborate closely with product and engineering to bring features from ideation to implementation

- Expertise in wireframing and prototyping, and design tools such as Figma/Adobe CC

- Portfolio that demonstrates user-focused and systematic thinking in the creation of prototypes and high-fidelity designs
- Demonstrated ability to understand a product at a deep level and to drive/participate in user-research. Ability to balance the need for a beautiful, delightful interface with the pragmatic concerns of delivery
- The ability to work independently with little oversight or management in a fast-paced, dynamic environment with high-energy and mission-driven colleagues
- Good organization, with the ability to clearly communicate ideas and design principles
Nice to haves:
