About The Role Staff Designer, Data Visualization
You will lead design efforts for our most ambitious new product: Laurel’s Data Product. You will translate data visualizations and analysis, user research, and product strategy into clear, compelling visual stories. You’ll own the end-to-end design process, from discovery to delivery, and collaborate with PMs, data scientists, and engineers to ship beautiful, production-grade data interfaces. We’re especially interested in candidates who thrive in early-stage environments and love designing for complex systems, and who bring a keen eye for data storytelling.
What you will do
Design interactive dashboards, charts, and exploratory tools that help users understand complex data insights.
Translate data into compelling visual narratives that enable business decision-making.
Design thoughtful, visually compelling data experiences within Business Intelligence (BI) tools, with an eye toward scalability and future custom front-end implementations.
Develop flexible design patterns that work seamlessly across both embedded BI environments and bespoke product interfaces.
Conduct user research, testing, and interviews across Laurel\'s user personas: timekeepers, billing / admin staff, and Firm Leaders. Create user journeys, personas, wireframes, and prototypes across fidelity levels. Validate designs through usability tests and iterate based on feedback.
Partner with Product, Engineering, Data Scientists, Customer Experience, and Sales teams to support analytics and insights. Present design concepts to internal and external stakeholders.
Design clear, effective data visualizations using BI tools in the near term—working within the tool\'s capabilities while elevating the user experience. Extend Laurel’s design system with reusable patterns that support BI-embedded workflows and future custom-built interfaces. When appropriate, collaborate with engineers to implement designs using front-end technologies (e.g., React, D3). Build lightweight prototypes (e.g., in Figma) to validate concepts and guide development.
You will be a great fit if you have
Bachelor\'s degree in relevant fields
6+ years of professional design experience designing digital products, with a strong focus on dashboards, data-heavy interfaces, or analytics tools; ideal candidates will be comfortable working with Data Analytics products
Hands-on experience designing directly within BI tools (e.g., Thoughtspot, PowerBI, Omni) or other low-code data platforms
Ability to navigate ambiguous problems and design across both short-term constraints and long-term product vision
Proven track record of taking product concepts from early exploration to high-fidelity interactive prototypes
Demonstrated ability to code using AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, Cursor) to build interactive prototypes or front-end components quickly and independently
Familiarity with front-end development workflows (e.g., collaborating on React components or preparing dev-ready specs)
Strong problem-solving and communication skills
Ability to work in a fast-paced startup environment and manage multiple priorities
Founders\' experience and spike heavily on Product Design
Nice to haves
Experience with knowledge worker productivity tools
Experience designing for AI-powered tools or automated workflows
Familiarity with modern data visualization libraries (e.g., D3.js)
Familiarity with BI tools (e.g., Thoughtspot, PowerBI, Tableau)
Flexibility and Logistics Location:
