About the opportunity

As a Product Designer on the Services & Opportunity Capture team, you will partner closely with a Principal Product Manager to discover new pricing and packaging opportunities, features, and services for our Professional Services portfolio. You will be collaborating closely with stakeholders in our Professional Services team in order to understand the needs of both our internal teams as well as external customers. You will work to define opportunities in: productizing our current professional services; finding new services to productize; and tooling opportunities to improve internal workflow and effectiveness.

If you have a passion for service design, systems design, problem solving, and optimizing workflows, this role could be right for you. You should understand the role of product analytics in design, and know how to make evidence-based tradeoffs. You should be comfortable facilitating workshops with stakeholders with non-product backgrounds, and have experience working with complex systems. You’ll join a design guild of passionate design generalists who enjoy continuous learning, and the opportunity to impact the product and the organization in a meaningful way.

You’ll be a key player in determining existing and new product opportunities, pitch them to relevant stakeholders for buy-in, and facilitate the prioritization and realization of these opportunities.
