Senior Product Designer

At Fonoa, we are transforming how digital-first companies stay tax compliant. We provide simple and modular API solutions that easily integrate into any existing workflow. Through our technology first approach, we reduce manual processes, increase compliance and reduce the cost of operations when transacting and scaling internationally.

We are solving one of the largest yet unsolved problems in global e-commerce. Our tax automation software enables companies such as Uber, Zoom, Lime, Booking.com, GoStudent, and Teachable to expand their international offerings more quickly and stay tax compliant.

As a Product Designer at Fonoa, your task will be to understand our target customers, internalize our business goals, analyze competitive product offerings, devise and deliver best-in-class design and work on implementing it (with our front-end team).

Our customers and partners will consume everything you touch, and you will directly and immediately impact everything we ship. In your role, you will own projects from conception to launch and measure success through data and user research.

You'll play a key role in road mapping, feature design, and the quality of our products, and your work will impact both user and business goals. We are solving one of the largest yet unsolved problems in global e-commerce and looking for a designer with a hunger for a new challenge and the drive to solve a ubiquitous problem for companies selling globally. Our clients range from world-leading marketplaces, e-commerce, and delivery to household-name mobility companies.

What you will be doing:

• Learn about how painful it is for companies to handle tax manually, and think about how our products are changing the status quo
• Specialize in one of our core product areas and work closely with engineers and product managers to define both the long-term strategy and the short-term tactics for that product
• Work with engineers and product managers to define both the long-term strategy and the short-term tactics for our products
• Work closely with designers on your team to develop and expand product design systems
• Sometimes work on very broadly defined, loose concepts, and sometimes on narrowly defined, tactical deliverables
• Partner closely with our user research team and support ongoing research projects
• Focus on what you do best - whether that's sketches, wireframes, prototypes, designs, or user testing-and you'll have the opportunity to sharpen the skills you're looking to develop
• Contribute to sales/marketing collateral (produce deck templates, email templates, brochures, brand assets, website visuals, etc.)
• Use every learning and observation to improve our products, constantly

You would be a great fit if:

• You have 5+ years of digital product design experience working on web and native applications
• You are fully proficient in English. Written and spoken, as we are from around the world, but we work in English.
• You are skilled in storytelling (explaining your work, process, and decisions)
• You have experience designing for business and developer-focused products
• You have a strong sense of ownership, care about what you build, and build the right thing that serves your customers.
• You're a builder at heart. You like the opportunity of having tons of exposure, making things work for a company long term, and having an entrepreneurial attitude for anything that comes your way.
• You ship fast, continuously, and iteratively, learning each step.
• You like to use data over opinions to make decisions. And are ok with finding the data yourself when it's missing.
• You are comfortable with changes in priorities, goals, and deadlines. You see this more as an opportunity than a hurdle. You are also pleased with challenging the status quo and pushing for change.
• You're looking to make a severe impact and are excited about working in a high-growth startup.
• We enable companies worldwide to seamlessly handle their taxes when transacting online by providing outstanding products that automate their workflows. To build exceptional products, we are aware that we need great people. We offer a competitive, above-market rate base salary for this position and remain open to a specific range depending on candidates' experience. Also, we provide attractive equity to keep everyone positively incentivized.
• As a remote-first company, we have a distributed team in more than 35 countries worldwide. We're a company filled with talented, energetic, and motivated people from all backgrounds who bring in their different perspectives to help us on our mission to make taxes simple.
