At Scribd (pronounced “scribbed”), our mission is to spark human curiosity. Join our team as we create a world of stories and knowledge, democratize the exchange of ideas and information, and empower collective expertise through our three products: Everand, Scribd, and Slideshare.
We support a culture where our employees can be real and be bold; where we debate and commit as we embrace plot twists; and where every employee is empowered to take action as we prioritize the customer.
We love collaborating and investing time in our Scribd community, and we create intentional in-person moments with each other to build culture and connection. And, it is through our flexible work benefit – Scribd Flex – that we enable employees, in partnership with their manager, to choose the work-style that best suits their individual needs and preferences.

We’re looking for an experienced Growth Product Designer to join our Go To Market product team, a role that sits at the core of our subscription-based business. Step into a critical role where you’ll craft impactful experiences turning first-time visitors into engaged explorers, and where your creativity and strategy directly influence the first chapter of our users’ stories.

We're a team that values experimentation, meticulous craftsmanship, transparency, and above all, our awesome teams of talented people. Come build something that matters — where your work will have a lasting positive impact.

What You’ll Do

  • Partner with product, data analytics, user research, QA, engineering, and customer support to identify requirements, use cases, user problems and opportunities.

  • Pair with our research department to plan and conduct user research, and test prototypes to understand user needs and emotions and the resonance of our product — synthesizing the results to inspire empathy and bring clarity to the broader team.
  • Visualize and communicate complex design solutions across use cases by creating process flows, wireframes, motion studies, prototypes, and high fidelity mock-ups
  • Develop and maintain detailed design documentation & specifications for your work.
  • Work closely with engineers, stakeholders, and partners to ensure that the user experience is polished and as intended.
  • Use a variety of metrics to evaluate and continuously improve the user experience
  • Regularly present your work to senior leaders for review and feedback.
