Senior Product Designer - Miami/Hybrid
About the Role
Boats Group operates the world’s leading online boating marketplaces, including YachtWorld, Boat Trader, and boats.com. Our products help millions of people discover, buy, and sell boats — and we’re continuing to evolve how we support customers throughout that journey.
We’re looking for a Senior Product Designer to help shape the next generation of our consumer experiences.
This is a role for a designer who is equally comfortable creating something new and improving something at scale. Depending on the product area, you may help define a new experience from the ground up or own and evolve a core part of one of our established marketplaces.
You’ll work closely with Product, Engineering, Research, Data, and Design leadership to understand customer problems, define opportunities, explore solutions, and bring thoughtful, high-quality experiences to market.
We’re looking for someone who can operate with autonomy, bring clarity to ambiguity, and connect strong UX and visual craft with customer and business outcomes.
What You'll Do
- Own end-to-end product design for a significant product area, from discovery and early concepts through launch, measurement, and iteration.
- Turn complex customer and business problems into clear, intuitive experiences across responsive web and mobile products.
- Explore and define 0→1 experiences, helping teams move from an emerging opportunity to a clear product direction and testable MVP.
- Evolve existing marketplace experiences by identifying opportunities to improve usability, engagement, conversion, and customer value.
- Partner closely with Product and Engineering to define problems, shape requirements, establish scope, and make thoughtful product trade-offs.
- Use customer research, behavioral data, analytics, experimentation, and usability testing to inform and validate design decisions.
- Create user flows, concepts, prototypes, and polished production-ready designs appropriate to each stage of the product development process.
- Think beyond individual screens to design cohesive journeys, systems, states, and interactions.
- Work directly with engineers throughout implementation to maintain design quality while navigating technical constraints.
- Contribute to and evolve our design systems, patterns, and shared product conventions.
- Clearly communicate design rationale and product thinking to partners and senior stakeholders.
- Raise the bar for product quality through strong interaction design, visual craft, systems thinking, and attention to detail.
- Contribute to a strong design culture through critique, and collaboration.
What You Should Have
- 5+ years of product design experience, ideally working on consumer-facing digital products.
- A strong portfolio demonstrating shipped product work and your role in taking problems from discovery through execution and iteration.
- Experience owning complex product areas or initiatives with a high degree of autonomy.
- Strong product thinking and the ability to connect customer needs, business goals, and technical realities.
- Demonstrated ability to bring structure and clarity to ambiguous problems rather than relying on fully defined requirements.
- Excellent UX and interaction design skills, with the ability to simplify complex workflows and systems.
- Strong visual design craft, including hierarchy, typography, layout, spacing, responsive behavior, and interaction states.
- Experience using qualitative research, quantitative data, and experimentation to inform product decisions.
- Advanced proficiency in Figma, including components, shared libraries, prototyping, and scalable design systems.
- Experience partnering closely with Product and Engineering throughout the product development lifecycle.
- Strong communication and storytelling skills, including the ability to articulate design decisions and influence stakeholders.
- Experience using AI tools to accelerate exploration, prototyping, research synthesis, content development, or other parts of the product design process.
Nice to Have
- Experience designing for marketplaces, e-commerce, fintech, or other multi-sided consumer ecosystems.
- Experience taking a new product, feature, or service from 0→1.
- Experience working on high-traffic consumer products where design decisions can be measured through behavioral or business outcomes.
- Experience with conversion funnels, lead generation, transactions, or other high-intent customer journeys.
- Experience contributing to or scaling a multi-brand or multi-platform design system.
