About the Role

At KOHO, product design is key to the brand identity and product differentiation. As a Product Designer, you will be involved in every aspect of the product development process. You will use your skills in UI and UX design, product design, interaction design, visual/audio/motion design, and prototyping to create product experiences that wow and deliver measurable value.

What You'll Do

• Work within an iterative design process: rapid prototyping, initiating user experience research, incorporating feedback, launching quickly, and testing hypotheses in an agile environment
• Work as a part of an end-to-end product development team: collaborating early with and providing design direction to engineers, understanding technical requirements of what it takes to implement your designs
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to influence all aspects of the product from copywriting to lifecycle marketing
• Evangelize our design-centric product development process and act as a design mentor to other designers and cross-functional partners
