About the role
- You'll work closely with product, engineering, and leadership to translate real-world construction scheduling workflows into intuitive, high-quality mobile experiences used daily in the field.

Responsibilities
- Own the end-to-end design of Planera's mobile app experiences, from discovery and concepting through detailed interaction design and launch.

- Partner closely with product managers and engineers to shape mobile roadmap priorities, tradeoffs, and execution.
- Advocate for mobile users-especially field-based workflows-by grounding design decisions in user research, customer feedback, and usage insights.
- Drive excellence in mobile interaction design, usability, accessibility, and performance-aware UX.
- Influence and evolve the design system, ensuring mobile patterns, components, and motion are scalable, consistent, and high quality.
- Facilitate design critiques, working sessions, and cross-functional reviews to align teams and raise the quality bar.
- Mentor and support other designers through feedback, collaboration, and example-without formal people management responsibilities.

- This is a senior individual contributor role for a designer who can own complex problem spaces, drive high-impact initiatives, and elevate how mobile design shows up as new product experiences.
Requirements

- 7+ years of product design experience, with significant ownership of mobile apps (iOS, Android, or cross-platform).
