If you think humans buy too much stuff and throw too much away, and you’re passionate about saving the planet, this role is for you!
Our client is a well-funded startup in the “green retail” space, backed by top-tier investors, including Bain Capital, Lightspeed, FirstMark and the founders of Harry’s, Warby Parker, and Allbirds.
They’re revolutionizing the secondhand fashion market, by partnering with fashion brands themselves, to create fully integrated, seamless secondhand clothing shopping experience. By so doing, they’re saving countless pieces of clothing from going into a landfill, and creating a new secondhand economy in the process, which helps everyday people make extra money from reselling their gently-worn clothing.
Their seasoned leaders have had successful startup exits in the past, the overall 15-person team is super smart, motivated, well-educated, humble and kind, and they’ve discovered massive market fit, so they’re expanding rapidly. They’ve already partnered with 10 active brands, including The North Face and Oscar de la Renta.
This is a great role for someone with some agency experience, as your client-facing skills will come in handy, in partnering with their brand partners. Also very open to client-side folks, too!
What you’ll do:
- Work directly with fashion brands to design fully customized, branded marketplace sites that are unique and compelling, utilizing their design systems and guidelines
- Collaborate closely with one of the co-founders who is their Head of Design, who couldn’t be a nicer or cooler guy. He’d be a wonderful mentor and inspiration.
- Facilitate weekly design reviews with brands’ digital creative teams; receive and respond to design feedback while iterating on design direction and feature set
- Support our sales team by creating beautiful mockups and exploring new concepts for how resale will look for future brand partners
- Work directly with our product and engineering team to define the UX and visual design of new features for the core marketplace platform
- Over time, develop a design language system and style guide for the ecosystem of new user interfaces
About you:
- You have a passion for pixel perfect UI design and are excited to work across a diverse set of visual styles and UX systems to bring compelling consumer experiences online
- You’re not afraid to have a strong opinion and to advocate for design choices that will result in a better, more beautiful end product
- You’re excited to work directly with fashion brands to bring their vision for resale to life
- You are mission driven and love the fact that the better we do as a company, the less waste we’ll see in the world
- You’re willing to do some light, occasional travel
Skills / Experience:
- 3-7+ years design experience at a design firm, agency or consumer product company
- Portfolio of past work demonstrating both visual and interaction design skills
- Experience designing web applications (both mobile and desktop)
- Bonus: E-commerce or retail brand experience
