Work Location: San Francisco, United States
Salary Offered: Not Specified
Job Type: Full Time
Experience Required: 6+ years
Remote Work: Yes

About usWe are building a virtual universe which fundamentally improves how people interact online. Today, that means a powerful remote-social platform. We have folks hosting everything from magic conventions to artist EP launches to thanksgiving dinners, and even a few weddings.
The mission of Gather is to remove physical constraints on peoples' lives, and provide a virtual world which surpasses the real one in interconnectedness, personal touch, and expressiveness.
Role Overview:Gather is a small team right now and that means every designer has an extremely significant role in shaping and executing on the vision of the company.
In this role, you’ll operate as a design lead for our Remote Work product line. You’ll be a crucial part of our growing product design team to also help us define our overall design direction and vision, along with our operational processes.
What You'll Do:
Partner with Product, Art, Maps, Engineering, Data and other departments to shape an inspiring vision and strategy for the future of our Remote Work products.
Own the end-to-end design proposals and plans for highly strategic and complex projects – from IA to wireframes to user flows to high-fidelity mocks to prototypes and everything in between.
Set a standard of operational excellence by driving the design side of projects extremely effectively through strong project management, clear communication, and goal setting.
Validate ideas throughout the lifecycle of the project by interviewing/surveying customers directly, incorporating insights, and sharing insights back to the team.
Build alignment across diverse teams by being able to successfully present ideas to a range of teams and stakeholders across Gather.
Contribute to Gather’s growing team by mentoring designers and by introducing/adapting design best practices for organizational needs such as career ladders, design critique, research, and more.
Who You Are:
You have at least 7-10+ years of relevant experience as an individual contributor on an in-house product design team.
You have the ability to work on ambiguous and broad problems/opportunities, along with smaller well-defined projects.
You are a critical participant in design reviews – both in delivering feedback to teammates to strengthen their work, but also in soliciting feedback at every step of the process.
You are strong across interaction design, visual design, prototyping, and information architecture.
You have experience designing mobile and web consumer products at scale. A combination of consumer and B2B experience is ideal. Bonus: You have worked in gaming and/or are passionate about games yourself.
You have exceptional verbal and written communication skills for technical and non-technical partners, internally and externally.
You are comfortable in ambiguous situations and dynamic environments and understand what fast growing startups entail for designers.
You are scrappy, have a bias toward action, and love moving fast.
You enjoy spending time with customers and are adept at getting to the root problems that our product is uniquely positioned to solve.
You know how to build strong relationships cross-functionally.
