About the Role
As a fractional Product Designer, you will shape an AI-powered recruiting product that helps candidates connect with relevant opportunities and hiring teams discover talent. You will work directly with the founding and engineering teams, bringing design perspective to product decisions and helping ship useful, trustworthy experiences.
What You'll Do
Own design across product interfaces, candidate experiences, company dashboards, and conversational AI interactions.
Turn ambiguous product problems into clear, intuitive end-to-end flows for candidates, companies, and internal teams.
Build and evolve the product design system using Figma.
Conduct lightweight research through user interviews, session observation, and identifying points of friction.
Work autonomously with a distributed team and contribute to product direction alongside the founding team.
What We're Looking For
At least 5 years of digital product design experience, including experience as a primary or sole designer at a startup.
Deep fluency in Figma, including product design and design system work.
A current portfolio demonstrating thoughtful, clear product design and shipped work.
Experience designing end-to-end flows for products serving multiple user groups, and building design systems from an early stage.
Experience with lightweight user research and effective async collaboration with minimal direction.
Recruiting, HR technology, talent marketplace, AI product, conversational interface, or broader marketplace experience is valuable.
Compensation & Benefits
Compensation range is $100,000 to $120,000 annually. Visa sponsorship is not available.
Location
This is a fully remote role open worldwide.

Prepare your application
Use the description above to assess your fit for Clera. This checklist is guidance from Resumize, rather than additional requirements from the employer. Imported listings can be shortened or change after collection, so confirm the complete description and current availability before sending an application.
Match requirements to evidence
Identify the responsibilities and skills the employer explicitly names. For each important requirement, choose one example from your work, education, training, or projects. Explain what you did, how you did it, and what changed as a result. Include a measurable outcome when you can support it. If you lack a requirement, describe related experience accurately instead of adding an unfamiliar skill to your resume.
Put the most relevant examples near the top of your resume. Keep job titles, dates, qualifications, and contact details consistent across your application materials. Use the employer’s terminology when it describes your experience accurately; a copied list of keywords does not explain your contribution. A short, specific bullet is easier to review than a paragraph that mixes several unrelated duties.
Check the working arrangement
Confirm the location, schedule, employment type, and any eligibility requirements on the employer’s site. A remote label does not establish worldwide eligibility or flexible hours. If compensation, benefits, equipment, travel, or contract duration are missing from this listing, write down your questions for the recruiter. Do not assume details from another opening at the same company apply to this role.
Review before submitting
Follow the employer’s requested file format and application instructions. Open your exported resume and check that its text is selectable, its sections read in order, and its links work. Proofread names, dates, and contact information. Share confidential work samples only when you have permission, and use an anonymized example when necessary.
Submit through a trusted employer or recruiting destination. If the original listing has disappeared, search the employer’s careers page for the title rather than assuming the vacancy remains open. Save the application date, job reference, and the version of your resume you sent. Those details help you prepare for a later conversation and avoid submitting conflicting information through several job boards.
Review your resume for writing and readability feedback, or browse other openings if this opportunity is unavailable.
