Product Designer Emerging Markets Facebook London

Job Description: • 2-minute read •
Come be a part of a team of designers passionate about creating the very best product for Facebook's billion users. As a Product Designer, you will be involved in every aspect of the product development process, from brainstorming the next great product innovation to tweaking pixels right before launch. You will be expected to utilize your full range of product design, interaction design, and visual design skills, and you will own the experience for a wide area of the Facebook product.

The Ads Emerging Market teams mission is to break down the barriers to doing business in emerging markets. Many customers and advertisers only have basic smart phones to access the internet, and they're often faced with challenges like poor internet connection and expensive data. This is an opportunity to work with a team focused on making Facebook work for both advertisers and customers in over 22 countries, influencing many other teams through their research and ideas.

We are looking for product designers who are considered senior on the team. You contribute as a leader in some capacity (whether on your direct team or throughout design.) You may be a Design Lead for your product area, with explicit accountabilities for the design quality of a team. At this point, you may also consider switching over to the management track, which runs parallel to the Individual Contributor Product Designer track.

This is a full-time position based in our London office.
Responsibilities

Take broad, conceptual ideas and turn them into something useful and valuable for our billion+ users
Design flows and experiences that are incredibly simple and elegant
Contribute to high-level strategic decisions with the rest of the product and executive teams
Give and solicit feedback from other designers in order to continually raise our bar for quality
Partner with PMs, engineers, researchers and content strategists to oversee the user experience of a product from conception until launch (and then some)
Requirements

Experience in building and shipping applications or software
Demonstrated experience with end-to-end (hybrid UX and UI) product design
You own an entire product space or work on projects that encompass multiple features and are broad/ambiguous in scope. Given a high-level problem, you deliver concrete end-to-end solutions that help define a product vision.
You demonstrate solid leadership skills. You have strong partnerships with product managers and engineers, likely providing product direction and exerting significant influence in defining goals for your product area.
Your skill level across product thinking, interaction design, and execution & craft is generally solid across the board, with one or more areas being areas of particular strength. You have a good grasp of the medium you are designing for, and you make effective use of prototyping tools. You may be designing new patterns or introducing new standards in your work that later become adopted by others.
The ability to think at a high level about product strategy and vision (not just 'how it should look' but 'what we should build')
You succinctly and effectively communicate your work and may be called upon to represent your product team to executive leadership or in design forums.
You are actively mentoring junior designers or interns, or participating in design-team-wide initiatives (examples include: interviewing, recruiting, mentoring workshops, design standards, improving design tools, etc.)
Must have a portfolio featuring examples of interaction design work
