Product Designer - Growth

About the role

As a member of the Growth team, you'll play a key role in driving business outcomes by helping users find increased value and efficiency with GitLab. Results for customers is at the top of our values hierarchy because we know that our customers’ success directly drives ours. Ensuring a frictionless experience for users who want to get started, trial, purchase, and explore new features is essential to delivering results for our customers. As a designer in this space, you’ll be instrumental in making that happen.

Currently, the Growth team is working to increase the adoption of GitLab Duo, our AI solution that supports developers across the entire software development lifecycle. You’ll work with the team to make it easier for customers to start a free trial, discover new features, and find value with Duo.

Looking ahead, your focus will be on onboarding and adoption across GitLab's core platform. Your user-centered approach will be crucial in key areas such as user registration flows, onboarding for free and paid customers, feature discovery, and trials. The Growth team works across the product, offering a variety of interesting and challenging opportunities to explore new product areas and contribute to their success.

What you’ll do:

• You’ll collaborate with teams across the product to help improve the discoverability and adoption of features in their product areas.
• You’ll communicate your design thinking and ideas through wireframes, prototypes, user flows, mockups, and high-fidelity visual designs.
• You’ll help develop hypotheses and establish clear success metrics to test new features or product changes and determine their impact on user experience and business outcomes.
• You’ll engage with our user base and the wider GitLab community to understand their pain points and work toward long-term fixes that enable them to succeed with their goals.
• You’ll undertake usability testing to validate your thinking. (We’ve got an excellent team of UX Researchers who can offer guidance, as needed.)
• You’ll contribute to our Design System, alongside the rest of the UX team and the GitLab community as a whole.

What you'll bring:

• Must have experience working on a B2B SaaS product as a Growth designer, or working in a growth-relevant area such as onboarding, user acquisition, free-to-paid conversion, feature adoption, etc.
• Practical knowledge of product experimentation and the ability to apply data in design decision-making.
• Familiarity with DevSecOps and the SDLC.
• Experience collaborating with cross-functional teams (product management, engineering, research).
• Experience conducting your own research with a variety of methods, and strong decision making skills for when to do research.
• Solid visual design skills with the ability to balance leveraging the design system and recognising when a unique component is needed.
