Staff Product Designer

Remote (US)

About Wistia

Wistia is a video marketing software company working to make business more human with video. We help our customers stay ahead of the curve by enabling them to record videos, host webinars, edit and organize videos, as well as measure performance–all in one platform. We're super excited to help businesses achieve their goals through simple and delightful video-focused products.

Responsibilities

We are seeking a Staff Product Designer to lead design for our recording software, a core capability of Wistia’s creative tools. On the Record team you’ll design features that enable users to record videos remotely with a team or independently, as well as collect recordings from collaborators. You’ll explore everything from the aesthetics of the video itself to nuanced producer interactions, empowering non-experts to create polished content with minimal effort. You’ll make a broad impact as you expand your influence across the platform, leading cross-functional collaborative efforts and connecting related design work. You’ll apply a design systems lens to your work, exploring how patterns can scale across teams.

You’ll report to our Director of Product Design who leads design across our Create pillar, which also includes video editing and webinar software. You’ll be involved in each stage of development, from strategy and creative exploration to quality implementation. You’ll collaboratively shape a vision for Record’s future and will contribute a user-centered lens to feature prioritization. Embedded within a cross-functional team of design, product, and engineering partners, you’ll uphold the following values for inclusive design:

Intentional Simplicity. Design is best when the product is the simplest for users rather than the designer. Your designs strike the right balance of simplicity, making our tools straightforward and intuitive to new users versus unremarkable.

Meaningful Creativity. This is achieved when the final product results from many inputs and active exploration. You’ll help designers add meaning through their creativity and focus ideation around a real customer problem or desire.

Polished Presentation. This means much more than pixel-perfect design; it includes the assets and processes to implement the design successfully. Our team should feel inspired when we see each other’s designs at every stage along the way to implementation.

Ambitious and Determined. Ambitious design is, by definition, difficult to achieve. So, when designing for the future, you’ll consider long-term benefits, not just short-term inconveniences. Helping your team be ambitious sets us up for better outcomes, considering what we know about the business, the market, and excellent product design processes.

You have:

  • 10+ years of real-world experience designing software or web applications
  • Expertise with visual design fundamentals, interaction design, and multi-step workflows
  • A user-centered approach, articulating the “why” in terms of user insights and business needs
  • Strong design intuition, which affords you the ability to make confident decisions
  • Excellent cross-discipline collaboration and experience leading collaborative efforts across teams
  • Experience with systems design, ensuring patterns can scale

To be the most successful here, you:

  • Bring experience with B2B SAAS, recording, audio, video, streaming, or marketing products
  • Lead user research to build empathy and make informed decisions
  • Are highly proficient with Figma, leveraging design systems, and responsive design
  • Account for accessibility guidelines through design implementaiton
  • Are your team’s strongest user advocate and set a high bar for quality
  • Collaboratively define near- and long-term strategic opportunities and paint a picture of what our future could look like
  • Proactively engage with folks inside and outside your team, drawing connections to build a more seamless product 
  • Drive towards alignment in cross-team collaborations

Working at Wistia

We try to ensure Wistia is an inclusive and diverse place where everyone feels happy, fulfilled, respected, comfortable, and welcome. We're proud to be an equal opportunity workplace. We care a lot, so our benefits are actually benefits, not just the fun stuff like swag and snacks in the office (though we also have lots of those too!).

We know the biggest investment we can make is in our employees, so we provide:

  • A competitive compensation package that includes internal equity stock options
  • 401k with 3% company contribution, regardless of whether you contribute
  • Fully paid healthcare, dental, and vision insurance (family plans included)
  • Pre-Tax FSA and Dependent Care Account
  • Flexible working hours – work at the times when you operate best, or set aside time for child and/or elderly care responsibilities during traditional “office hours”
  • 16 weeks paid parental leave for all new and expecting parents
  • Unlimited PTO (pretty common for people to take 4+ weeks off throughout the year)
  • Remote-first culture (work from anywhere in the U.S.)
  • Annual professional development stipend (courses, conferences, and more)
  • New hire bonus to enhance your home office setup
  • Pet insurance discount

Location/Remote Opportunities

Wistia is a remote-first company. Employees can work from our beautiful office in Cambridge, MA, or anywhere in the continental US.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
