Principal, Product Design

DEPT® Argentina is growing fast and we're looking for folks that want to work with peers and clients that enjoy and build great products together. 

WHY DEPT®?

We are pioneers at heart. What this means, is that we are always leaning forward, thinking of what we can create tomorrow that does not exist today. We were born digital and we are a new model of agency, with a deep skillset in tech and marketing. That’s why we hire curious, self-driven, talented people who never stop innovating.

Our culture is big enough to cope and small enough to care. Meaning, that with people across 20+ countries, we’re big enough to provide you with the best tools, global opportunities, and benefits that help you thrive. While acting small by investing in you, your growth, your team, and giving you the autonomy to solve our clients problems, no matter where you are in the world.

**THE ROLE:**As a Principal, Product Design, you are an advocate for both form and function. You work across the entire design spectrum, encompassing UX, UI, and high-level visual craft, to create engaging, effective digital products. You are the bridge between user needs and business goals, ensuring that every feature we launch delivers measurable value from end to end.

WHAT YOU’LL DO:

• Navigate the entire design spectrum to build complex workflows that feel simple, intuitive, and aesthetically superior.
• Lead projects from initial discovery and wireframing to high-fidelity UI and post-launch optimization.
• Align user-centric design with business KPIs, ensuring that design decisions are backed by data and contribute to company growth.
• Advocate for and evolve our design system, ensuring a unified brand voice and seamless functionality across web, mobile, and beyond.
• Collaborate deeply with engineering teams to ensure technical feasibility, providing clear documentation and participating in the hand-off process to maintain design integrity.
• Ability to synthesize user research and business data into actionable design strategies that drive product growth.
• Proven ability to articulate design rationale to executive stakeholders and advocate for user-centric solutions.
• Actively research and propose strategic improvements that support both personal and company-wide growth.

WHAT YOU BRING:

• 5+ years of experience in product design, with a portfolio that demonstrates best-in-class execution in shipped digital products.
• Bachelor’s degree in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Interaction Design, Visual Design, or a related field (or equivalent professional experience).
• An uncompromising eye for detail and a mastery of layout, typography, and motion to create polished, high-fidelity interfaces.
• A strong portfolio that demonstrates the user-centered design process and includes prototypes of varying fidelity and UI/visual design capabilities.
• Mastery of Figma with a solid understanding of industry standards and features.
• Able to design a variety of UX artifacts, including personas, user journeys, prototypes, presentations, and UI mock-ups. 
• Demonstrated ability to work within and contribute to complex design systems, ensuring scalability and cross-platform consistency.
• You are equally comfortable conducting a user interview, mapping a complex flow, or polishing a pixel-perfect interface.
• Understanding of modern front-end capabilities and a history of collaborating with Engineering to deliver technically feasible, performant designs.
•  A proactive, self-starting mentality with the ability to manage multiple workstreams and pivot based on shifting business requirements.

TAKE INTO ACCOUNT:

• You will have to communicate with your team members abroad, therefore fluency in English and excellent communication skills (both written and verbal) are a must for this role.

WHAT DO WE OFFER?
