Job description
About the Role
As a fractional Product Designer, you will work closely with the founding and engineering teams at an early-stage AI recruiting marketplace. You will shape candidate and hiring manager experiences, turning ambiguous product problems into intuitive, trustworthy flows and helping the team ship quickly.
What You'll Do
Own design across product interfaces, candidate experiences, company dashboards, and AI interactions.
Translate complex, multi-stakeholder needs into clear end-to-end user flows and interaction models.
Build and evolve the product design system from an early stage.
Conduct lightweight user research through interviews, session observation, and identifying points of friction.
Collaborate directly with founders and engineers to shape product direction and deliver shipped work.
What We're Looking For
At least 5 years of digital product design experience, including time as a primary or sole designer at a startup.
Deep fluency in Figma for product design and design system work, with a portfolio showing thoughtful, clear design and shipped products.
Experience designing end-to-end flows for products serving multiple user groups.
Experience building or evolving design systems from scratch or at an early stage.
Comfort working autonomously, communicating asynchronously, and conducting lightweight user research with distributed teams.
Recruiting, HR tech, talent marketplace, AI product, conversational interface, or multi-sided platform experience is valuable.
Compensation & Benefits
Compensation range: $100,000 to $120,000 USD annually. Visa sponsorship is not available.
Location
Remote worldwide. This is a flexible fractional freelance engagement.

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.
