Job Summary
The Junior Product Designer is a foundational member of WealthCounsel's product design team, responsible for designing clear, well-crafted experiences across our software products. Working within the Discovery Trio alongside Product Managers and Engineers, you contribute to the full design process â from research and discovery through design specifications and implementation support. You bring curiosity, growing user empathy, and a commitment to craft, taking increasing ownership of features and product areas as you develop in the role.

Learn to distinguish between user requests and underlying user needs
Design Craft
Design interaction flows, interface layouts, and components in alignment with the design system
Deliver designs that account for the full spectrum of states: happy paths, error states, empty states, loading states, and edge cases
Designs that account for fluid viewport sizes and device types
Apply design system patterns consistently; contribute to iterative improvement
User Empathy & Research
Participate in user research activities (usability tests, interviews, and discovery sessions) with support from senior designers
Shadow Support troubleshooting sessions and Member Success training sessions to build direct understanding of how attorneys use our products
Review support tickets and feature requests to identify patterns
Develop understanding of user needs based on direct observation
Product Knowledge
Actively learn your product area â use the product regularly, review support tickets, ask questions about how features connect
Understand the workflows attorneys perform within your product area
Collaborate with engineering on implementation feasibility and develop awareness of technical constraints and opportunities
Review release notes and change logs to understand what's changed and why
Collaboration & Process
Participate in design reviews, sprint planning, and cross-functional team rituals
Incorporate critique feedback effectively and iterate quickly
Work closely with the Senior Product Designer and Manager to evolve the design system and pattern library
Communicate design rationale clearly to PMs and Engineers â practice explaining why
Hereâs what youâll need to be successful in this role

Portfolio demonstrating user-centered thinking, interaction design craft, and problem-solving across digital products
Proficiency in Figma or equivalent modern design and prototyping tools
