About the Role:

Disney’s technology organization is growing our team of passionate product designers on a mission to entertain, inform and inspire people around the globe through the power of unparalleled storytelling. As the group that develops Disney Plus, Hulu, ESPN+, and dozens of other Disney apps and enterprise products, we are builders with a relentless dedication to adding a little magic to people’s lives – whether they are streaming a Pixar movie or using the tools that power our business.

We are seeking an exceptional Sr Product Designer to fill a critical role in our Ad Platforms team. As a key member of a growing design team driving high-priority initiatives, this person will have a unique opportunity to help create the future of Disney’s thriving streaming business. If you are passionate about shipping high-utility flows that are also high-craft, bringing simplicity to complex processes, leveraging AI for efficiency, and seeing your work have a direct impact on the bottom line, we’d love to hear from you.

This person will play a key part in our efforts to improve customer ROI and dramatically streamline ad campaign planning, creative review, targeting, and trafficking – with an opportunity to shape both the strategy and design vision for our evolving advertising platform. In addition to shipping great work, we are equally committed to a design culture that is inspiring, collaborative, and fun – and this person will also have leadership opportunities to shape how we work.

Key Responsibilities:

Sr Product Designers at Disney are resourceful, imaginative problem solvers who collaborate inclusively with a range of engineering, product management, and other teammates and stakeholders throughout the design process. In this role, you will work independently across multiple projects, both build 0-1 solutions and optimize existing functionality, and apply in-depth knowledge about best-practices and evolving technologies.

Specifically, the person in this role will be expected to:

Take full ownership of projects that involve end-to-end features or products within a clearly scoped set of product requirements
Design intuitive, easy-to-understand user experiences that enhance the overall product
Create and iterate on flows, prototypes and high-fidelity visuals to communicate ideas
Actively contribute to product-level decision-making by participating in team meetings, cross-functional groups, and collaborative feedback sessions
Consistently deliver work that is well-thought-out and aligned with project goals
Demonstrate sustained productivity and meet project deadlines by accurately estimating the time required for tasks
Set an example for designers in your orbit through mentorship and open, honest feedback

Qualifications:

As an applicant to this role, we ask that your portfolio demonstrates:

5+ years of relevant industry experience
Experience shipping high-utility mobile or desktop applications, simplifying complex user flows, or delivering new product innovation that disrupted conventions
Expert understanding of user-centered design principles and best practices
Self-motivated problem solving with the ability to work on multiple projects simultaneously
Ability to communicate complex concepts clearly and persuasively
Hunger for innovation, fluidity with ideas, eagerness to challenge the status quo
Strong interest in and aptitude for learning new technologies and design skills
Strong work ethic, are reliable, adaptable, and collaborate well with others
Ability to design within design guides and contribute to design language
Expert knowledge of Figma and/or other design tools
BA/BS or equivalent experience required
