Product Designer

This full-time Product Designer role is part of a cross-company Design Headquarters team and supports the product-design work of assigned businesses. The designer creates UI/UX and information architecture for feature development with PMs and engineers, organizes complex requirements and business workflows, and turns them into intuitive interfaces. The role also supports agreement with business teams and raises the quality of the wider design team’s output.

Day-to-day work includes creating prototypes and testing hypotheses with Figma and AI development tools, conducting user interviews and usability tests, analyzing feedback, and applying findings to designs. The designer explains design rationale to business leaders and product managers, leads design reviews and experience-design discussions, proposes priorities that balance business requirements with user experience, and works closely with engineers during implementation through design consultation and design QA. Other responsibilities include using the design system for efficient and consistent UI, sharing knowledge, maintaining and improving Figma operating rules, and reviewing teammates’ work.

Required qualifications include practical product-design experience for web or app products at a level equivalent to five years, practical prototyping and MVP production using Figma or similar tools, and UI design experience that considers usability and information structure. Candidates must have experience setting problems independently, prioritizing work, involving stakeholders through completion, explaining design intent and reaching agreement with product managers, engineers, and business leaders, and reviewing or giving feedback on other designers’ work. Regular use of AI tools to speed up prototyping and hypothesis validation is also required.

The team works across businesses such as online printing, e-commerce, and marketing support. The posting describes a growing product portfolio with complex data structures and B2B business processes. Longer-term paths may deepen product specialization, extend into communication design or frontend work, lead design quality across products, contribute to new-business and service design, or focus on team development and DesignOps.

Preferred experience includes mentoring designers, building review systems, influencing business decisions through design proposals, designing B2B or administrative products, improving workflows connecting design and implementation with Figma MCP or Claude Code, and introducing AI practices across a team. Knowledge or experience with HTML, CSS, or React, agile or Scrum development, user research, design systems, and both B2B and B2C product design is also welcomed. The listed salary is 6.9 million to 11.5 million JPY per year, determined with consideration for experience and previous compensation. It includes fixed overtime pay for 45 hours and fixed late-night pay for 20 hours; excess hours are paid separately, and bonuses are paid twice yearly.

Employment is permanent with no fixed contract term, with a three-month probation period and no change in conditions during probation. The work location is the Azabudai office in Minato, Tokyo, or a company-approved home or equivalent remote-work location. The working style combines remote work with office attendance several times per week; fully remote work from a distant location is not available. Flextime applies, with core hours from 11:00 to 15:00 and, on the first day of the week, from 10:00 to 15:00. Standard working time is eight hours per day, with overtime subject to company rules and the individual labor contract.

Regular holidays are Saturdays, Sundays, and national holidays. Paid leave is granted at joining for the first year, from one to ten days depending on the joining month, with later annual grants on August 1. Other leave includes refresh, year-end and New Year, condolence, Thanks Holiday, and statutory parental and related leave. Benefits include a corporate defined-contribution pension, company-leased housing, childcare and nursing-care leave, a return-from-parental-leave payment, condolence payments, babysitter discount coupons, access to company-led childcare facilities, Thanks Holiday, and long-service awards. Health insurance, employees’ pension, employment insurance, and workers’ compensation coverage are provided. The company offers onboarding training, skills-development support, language-learning support, and an unlimited technical-book purchase program for some roles. Applicants must submit a portfolio. Duties and work locations may change within the company’s defined scope, including remote-work locations.
