About the team:
Our Product Design team is a vibrant ensemble of customer advocates, product designers, and user researchers working together on a global scale. We are dedicated to enhancing connections between pet parents and pet service providers. Our mission extends to developing sophisticated solutions that tackle diverse challenges with the booking experience, cross-platform communication, personalized scheduling, secure payments, and building trust and ensuring safety in the marketplace. Our team plays a crucial role in elevating the marketplace experience across web, iOS, and Android platforms, significantly impacting the end-to-end customer journey.
Who we are looking for:
Rover is looking for a Sr. Product Designer for the Price Experience team. The team’s mission is to ensure that care providers on Rover have the tools to set their own prices with confidence and grow their business, and that pet parents are able to find competitively priced pet care options on our marketplace.
This role touches nearly every part of the Rover experience, working across the design org rather than within a single, siloed team. You'll partner closely with Data Analytics and Marketplace teams on features that affect owners, sitters, and the marketplace as a whole, and you'll need to be a strong communicator and coordinator to keep your work aligned with the many other teams whose scope you'll touch.
You will apply your keen eye for detail and solid understanding of user-centered design principles, numeracy, and comprehension to craft compelling experiences. Utilizing data, you will rigorously evaluate, test, and refine theories, designs, and behavioral triggers, ensuring they meet high standards of usability and engagement.
As a senior member of the team, you will serve as a subject-matter expert and advocate for the customer during the exploration, planning, and implementation of user-centered features. You will have ownership over the design process, ensuring that experiences are rooted in trust and feature high-quality visual aesthetics. You will maintain a consistent look and feel across all devices, aligning with strategic design objectives, our design system, and specific product requirements.
You should have extensive experience in product design, with a robust portfolio demonstrating proficiency in creating user-centered design solutions across various platforms. You will need to handle multiple projects simultaneously and collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams, including teams outside your immediate pod. A proven track record of impactful design implementations that drove improvements in user experience and business outcomes is essential.
Rover is also in the midst of transitioning to an AI-native product development lifecycle, so a genuine curiosity about and comfort with AI tools is important for this role.
Help define the strategy, scope, and working rhythms of a team at Rover.
Run workshops and collaborate closely with product management to identify and define strategic product-investment opportunities that align with our key objectives.
Work hand-in-hand with product managers, engineers, and data analysts to establish product requirements, roadmaps, and user experiences.
Partner with our UX Research team to conduct user and usability testing throughout the product life-cycle, ensuring a seamless user experience.
Employ a human-centered design approach, blending psychological insights, data, and user research to guide design decisions.
Coordinate closely with designers on other teams with adjacent surfaces, ensuring consistency and clear communication across the broader design org.
Consistently integrate empathy and user insights into daily interactions with your team, championing the voice of our users.
Take full ownership of your projects, actively seeking and incorporating feedback from peers, stakeholders, and customers to enhance our community's experience for both owners and sitters.

Bring curiosity and hands-on familiarity with AI tools to support a more AI-native design and product development process.

Ability to effectively consolidate diverse stakeholder views to achieve aligned objectives and explore innovative solutions.
Strong track record of collaborative work with creatives, utilizing excellent critical thinking skills.
Data-driven design approach, with comfort in using business, product, and UX metrics to inform decisions.
