Senior Digital Product Designer

Overview

SPANX isn’t your average company. We revolutionized an industry by challenging the status quo and putting the customer first. You might know the story: our founder, Sara Blakely, who needed the right thing as a base layer to feel 100% in white pants, so she cut the legs off a pair of tights and Spanx was born. The spark of that origin is the fuel for our future. We grew up in shapewear. But we’ve graduated. For 25 years (yep, we're old enough to rent a car now), we've been experimenting, innovating, and occasionally banging our heads against the drawing board. And we will never stop obsessing about what women who are out there doing their thing deserve. Because we are those women. And we’re honored to create on behalf of us all.

We make elevated essentials with confidence built in. Essentials for layering underneath or wearing out loud, for “just-between-us” and “where'd you get that?” For everything you've got planned (and don't). Because what you put on can change how you show up. And if its' not working for you, it's got no place in your closet. Or on your body. Creating items that’ll make you feel great is a matter of the heart—and the lab. In every Spanx product is technology we design and build to highlight, complement, and form your look, just the way you like it. SPANX design and technology help make sure what you see in the mirror reflects that feeling of feeling your best (you know the feeling?). We are a high-growth, innovative and ambitious company and we are embarking on an exciting trajectory of both digital and international expansion. 

About the role

The Digital Organization at Spanx has seen significant growth as the company continues to expand into new product categories and regions. Over the last few years, the team has grown from a single squad to a total of three pods—dedicated sprint teams who own portions of our customer experience—with plans to further expand. We are looking for a Senior Digital Product Designer who can own large swaths of our customer experience and support the pods/functional teams they’re working with. You will work closely with the Digital Product Design team, Product Managers, and Engineers, as well as collaborate cross-functionally with members of our Brand, Creative, and E-Commerce teams.

The ideal candidate is resourceful, autonomous, has e-commerce experience, and the ability to design solutions driven by customer insights, data, and research. You can work through tricky UX flows from the perspective of our customer that also fit into the greater site experience, produce high quality, organized production-ready UI designs, and contribute to and help maintain our Figma component library. As a member of the Digital Team, you will play an integral role in further achieving, maintaining, and surpassing the hyper-growth journey that is Spanx.
