Senior Product Designer - UGC

About The Company:

At Scribd (pronounced “scribbed”), our mission is to spark human curiosity. Join our team as we create a world of stories and knowledge, democratize the exchange of ideas and information, and empower collective expertise through our four products: Everand, Scribd, Slideshare, and Fable.

We support a culture where our employees can be real and be bold; where we debate and commit as we embrace plot twists; and where every employee is empowered to take action as we prioritize the customer.

When it comes to workplace structure, we believe in balancing individual flexibility and community connections.  It’s through our flexible work benefit, Scribd Flex, that employees – in partnership with their manager – can choose the daily work-style that best suits their individual needs. A key tenet of Scribd Flex is our prioritization of intentional in-person moments to build collaboration, culture, and connection. For this reason, occasional in-person attendance is required for all Scribd employees, regardless of their location.

So what are we looking for in new team members? Well, we hire for “GRIT”. The textbook definition of GRIT is demonstrating the intersection of passion and perseverance towards long term goals. At Scribd, we are inspired by the potential that this can unlock, and ask each of our employees to pursue a GRIT-ty approach to their work. In a tactical sense, GRIT is also a handy acronym that outlines the standards we hold ourselves and each other to.  Here’s what that means for you: we’re looking for someone who showcases the ability to set and achieve Goals, achieve Results within their job responsibilities, contribute Innovative ideas and solutions, and positively influence the broader Team through collaboration and attitude.

The team

Design at Scribd makes complex ideas feel simple. We help millions of people learn, explore, and share knowledge every day.

We’re looking for a Senior Product Designer to help shape the core Scribd experience in an AI-driven world, where information is everywhere but true understanding is rare. You’ll join our 15-person Product Design team where you’ll define how readers discover and engage with content that adds real value to their lives, and influence the direction of Scribd’s core experience.

We care about our customers and design with the business in mind. We bias toward action and over-communication. We debate openly and push each other toward better ideas—and better craft. We celebrate wins, learn from losses, and laugh through both.

The work

• Bring ideas to life fast and shape them through feedback.

• Share your beliefs with conviction—it’s not about being right, it’s about having a point of view, and strengthening it through thoughtful collaboration.

• Navigate ambiguity with your design and cross-functional partners.

• Balance data, insight, and intuition—to support your decisions with clear rationale.

• Make decisions that shape what we build and why.

• Share your work early and challenge your own assumptions.

• Raise the bar through innovation, craft, generous feedback, and debate.

The essentials

• 8+ years of product design experience.

• An appetite for solving complex problems.

• Curiosity and collaboration in how you work.

• Fluency in Figma and modern prototyping tools.

The application

• Resume with 6+ years experience designing complex, consumer-facing products.

• Portfolio with 2-3 case studies that show measurable impact, and a point of view grounded in the why.

• Password, if applicable.
