We’re looking for a systems-minded, detail-obsessed Senior Product Designer to lead design for our Payments and Subscriptions team. In this key role, you’ll craft thoughtful, user-centered experiences that make it easy and intuitive for people to manage how they pay and what they pay for across Yahoo products.
You’ll collaborate closely with cross-functional partners—including Designers, Product Managers, Engineers, Researchers, and Content Strategists—to shape seamless subscription flows, payment experiences, account management tools, and monetization features. Your work will help define how users access premium offerings, manage their plans, and build trust in Yahoo’s paid experiences.
You’ll own high-impact design projects end-to-end, from concept to execution, and ensure they reflect Yahoo’s commitment to usability, accessibility, and visual excellence.
We’re especially interested in designers who already use AI tools as an integral part of their design process—from ideation and prototyping to research synthesis and documentation. You see AI not as an add-on, but as an essential creative partner that enhances your speed, insight, and imagination.
Key Responsibilities:
Lead the design of subscription and payment experiences across Yahoo products—enabling seamless purchase, upgrade, billing, and management workflows.
Deliver clear, trustworthy, and accessible interfaces that reflect a deep understanding of user needs, business goals, and regulatory considerations.
Design systems and flows that are modular, scalable, and consistent across product surfaces.
Advocate for clarity, simplicity, and usability throughout the customer journey—from discovery to retention.
Collaborate closely with product, engineering, research, content, and legal teams to turn ideas into production-ready solutions.
Prototype at varying fidelities to test ideas, validate flows, and communicate design intent effectively.
Work with researchers to uncover insights and continuously iterate based on user feedback and data.
Present your work clearly and confidently to stakeholders and peers, with strong rationale and strategic alignment.
Contribute to team critiques and help evolve design systems and patterns across surfaces.
Stay curious about emerging tools, particularly AI, and how they can elevate your process and outcomes.
Who You Are:
A strong systems thinker with an eye for clean, user-centered design.
Capable of navigating ambiguity and designing thoughtful experiences from scratch or within complex ecosystems.
A clear communicator who can advocate for users and influence decision-making with logic and empathy.
Skilled at balancing user needs, technical constraints, and business objectives
Familiar with motion and micro-interactions that enhance feedback and flow.
Proficient in Figma (and optionally Framer or similar tools) to design, prototype, and iterate quickly.
Qualifications:
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Design, HCI, Visual Communication, or a related field.
4+ years of experience designing digital products, preferably including subscription and payment systems.
A portfolio demonstrating strong UX thinking, elegant interaction design, and polished UI craft.
Experience working on cross-functional product teams and delivering at scale.
Strong understanding of user-centered design principles and accessibility standards.
Excellent collaboration, communication, and presentation skills.
