What's the opportunity? 🤔

Intercom is the next generation customer service platform, built for an AI-first world. We are the only platform that combines an AI Bot + AI Help Desk + Proactive Support tools into one seamless platform. The successful candidate will join our Customer Data Platform Team, who are responsible for ensuring data from multiple sources are combined in Intercom, creating a single view of our customer. This role is tailor made for a product designer who is a strong systems thinker, who loves working closely with engineers and who wants to empower our customers by layering a great user experience over powerful and complex data capabilities.

You will partner with a product manager, up to 6 engineers to own the CDP capabilities of Intercom, getting feedback directly from customers and shipping solutions that solve their problems.

At Intercom, we have designers in key leadership roles, including at the exec level, so you'll never have to justify the importance of design. Design is in our DNA.

What will I be doing? 🚀

• Act as a leader within the Product Design team, collaborating with other designers to make their work and the whole team better
• Work through design problems from beginning to end, translating insights from research and analytics into concepts that form disruptive new products and features, and designing the detailed workflows and interactions required to make them a reality.
• Collaborate with designers across the organisation to raise the quality bar and continuously improve Intercom’s design processes, principles, and tooling.
• Sketch and prototype ideas to quickly assess their viability, and design the fine-grained details of components, interactions, and transitions.
• Partner with product managers to define and evolve product roadmaps.
• Work closely with engineers as you build, iterate on, and ship ideas.
• Build the teams understanding of complex problem spaces by creating system diagrams that bring clarity and direction to complex problem spaces.

What skills and experience do I need? 📖

See what we look for when we hire designers

• Experience designing digital products and systems, not just websites. You have helped ship products that solve real problems, and that people use.
• An appreciation of the entire product development process, from problem solving and system modelling, through to detailed UI, visual, and interaction design.
• Ability to design polished, high-fidelity mockups of your solutions using modern design tools such as Figma and Sketch.
• Ability to create interactive prototypes using tools like Figma, Framer, Invision, and Keynote, or in the browser with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
• Strong communication skills to help people across the company understand the rationale behind your proposals, and the complex nuances of design problems.
• Motivated self-starter who can deeply collaborate with other disciplines including product management, engineering, research, and analytics.
• A growth mindset. Willingness to own problems. Comfort with ambiguity. A desire to make things better. A balanced sense of optimism and humility.

Your experience should ideally focus on designing software products, and your portfolio should clearly outline the problems you’ve taken on with your design work. It should touch on the process you applied to find solutions and overcome challenges, rather than focusing just on visual polish, or the final deliverables.
