Design and Product operate as a single, unified function at Nek. We believe that freshness in design is the fundamental key to building true newness in products and experiences. We are looking for a Mid-Senior Product Designer who doesn't just follow trends or copy competitor applications, but instead leads by example. You are someone who walks and inspires everyone in the room. You excel at bringing abstract concepts to life through tangible design executions over just spoken thoughts.

• Lead with Behavioral Insights: Proactively identify challenges and devise data-backed, intuitive solutions.

• Advance the Experience: Translate complex needs into clear, high-fidelity UI and meticulous user flows for diverse use cases.
• Evolve the Ecosystem: Create a unified UI, integrating with and evolving our design system to ensure strong brand identity and a delightful app experience.
• Cross-Functional Influence: Partner closely with product, data analysts, engineering, and business teams to deliver practical, impactful designs that enhance UX and achieve key metrics.
• Innovate & Optimize: Continuously find creative, optimal solutions to tasks , enhancing user experience while aligning with business goals.

What’s required from you?

• Proven Track Record: 3+ years of Experience in proposing and building an end-to-end product feature or an experience which went live on a web or native platform. You must have successfully navigated and executed this level of product ownership multiple times in your previous professional adventures.
• Visual & UI Excellence: A clear sense and taste for UI design with strong knowledge of Material Design and Human Interface Guidelines. You must possess a strong understanding of design fundamentals, including UI design patterns, components, and interactions, with essential Figma proficiency.
• Motion Design Skills (Mandatory): Familiarity with motion design tools like Protopie, Rive, Jitter, or After Effects, and an eye for trending designs. Motion design is a critical requirement for this role to elevate the product experience.
• Strategic & Analytical Mindset: Ability to apply intuitive design to user problems, taking a structured approach to gauge outcomes and continuously seeking to enhance the experience.
• User Empathy & Innovation: Deep empathy for users and for Jar's mission , alongside a consistent ability to bring questions back to what will best serve our users. Bring a zeal for out-of-the-box ideas specific to Jar that enhance the user experience, potentially leading to industry-first solutions.
• Adaptability & Leadership: Ability to thrive in a lean sprint environment, demonstrating strong ownership and collaboration while navigating ambiguity and bringing clarity. You must be self-driven, show an ability to take lead and solve things, and continuously work towards self-education and cross-functional networking.
• Cultural & Occasion Fluency: Design for how India buys jewellery - festival and gifting-led, built around occasions like Diwali and weddings. You'll shape experiences for a largely tier 2–4, vernacular-first audience, designing for the emotion behind these purchases and - because gold and silver are trust buys, building credibility into every step.
