Staff Product Designer

Join our growing Design Team We’re a fast-growing Series A Construction Scheduling Startup that’s transforming one of the world’s largest industries—and we’re on fire. We are shipping products that redefine how General Contractors and teams collaborate to build world-class construction schedules. This is a rare chance to set the design vision at a company scaling fast, with the resources of a funded startup and the energy of a rocket ship. We’re looking for a Staff Product Designer with a strong focus on mobile app design to help define and deliver Planera’s mobile experience. This is a senior individual contributor role for a designer who can own complex problem spaces, drive high-impact initiatives, and elevate how mobile design shows up as new product experiences. You’ll work closely with product, engineering, and leadership to translate real-world construction scheduling workflows into intuitive, high-quality mobile experiences used daily in the field. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in ambiguity, sweats interaction details, and still thinks at a systems and product strategy level. If you’re driven to create elegant, product experiences that make real-world impact—and you want to leave your fingerprints on the future of construction—this is your stage. 🚀 Key Responsibilities: Own the end-to-end design of Planera’s mobile app experiences, from discovery and concepting through detailed interaction design and launch. Lead complex, ambiguous problem spaces by framing opportunities, running discovery, and turning fuzzy inputs into clear, actionable design direction. Partner closely with product managers and engineers to shape mobile roadmap priorities, tradeoffs, and execution. Advocate for mobile users—especially field-based workflows—by grounding design decisions in user research, customer feedback, and usage insights. Drive excellence in mobile interaction design, usability, accessibility, and performance-aware UX. Contribute to product strategy by connecting mobile user needs with broader platform goals and business outcomes. Influence and evolve the design system, ensuring mobile patterns, components, and motion are scalable, consistent, and high quality. Facilitate design critiques, working sessions, and cross-functional reviews to align teams and raise the quality bar. Mentor and support other designers through feedback, collaboration, and example—without formal people management responsibilities. Continuously improve design processes to balance speed, quality, and clarity in a fast-moving environment. Qualifications: 7+ years of product design experience, with significant ownership of mobile apps (iOS, Android, or cross-platform). A portfolio demonstrating end-to-end product ownership, strong interaction design, and thoughtful solutions to complex, real-world problems. Experience operating at a senior-level scope: owning large initiatives, influencing direction, and working independently on multi-quarter efforts. Deep understanding of mobile UX patterns, platform conventions, and designing for constrained, on-the-go environments. Strong systems thinking—able to balance craft, consistency, and scalability across features and surfaces. Excellent communication skills, with the ability to influence product and engineering partners through clear rationale and storytelling. Comfort working in ambiguity and proactively setting direction rather than waiting for detailed requirements. Experience contributing to or scaling a design system, especially for mobile. Expertise with workflow-heavy, operational, or B2B products (construction, logistics, scheduling, or similar is a plus). Why Join Us: Impact: Be at the forefront of transforming a $12.1 trillion industry. Make a meaningful impact on how the world builds. Culture: Join a smart, spirited team dedicated to innovation and excellence. Growth: Opportunity for professional growth and career advancement in a fast-paced start-up environment. Benefits: Competitive salary, stock options, benefits package, and a dynamic work environment.
