Job description
Recognized by Fast Company as one of the 10 most innovative companies, Bluecrew is a technology platform that makes it easy to hire, manage and schedule a flexible workforce—from on-demand to long-term. Employers get instant access to pre-screened workers, and workers get to choose jobs that fit their life with the benefits and protections they deserve.
Bluecrew was founded in 2015 to disrupt the traditional staffing model (an industry worth $130 billion which is almost exclusively offline) with a mobile-first platform that offers workers control, flexibility, and protection, while instantly connecting them to high quality, short and long-term employment opportunities. Unlike gig economy platforms, our Crew Members are W-2 employees of Bluecrew, receiving benefits and protections like minimum wage, overtime, sick pay, and workers' compensation. Bluecrew has offices in Chicago and Seattle with a presence in markets nationwide and is owned and operated by IAC.
Product Designers at Bluecrew leverage user-centered experience design methods to define an ambitious vision for our products. We scale our design process to meet the problem, knowing when to make fast, high-judgment decisions, and when to dive deep and thoroughly understand a problem space. We design and launch elegant, delightful solutions to complex problems faced by our Crew Members and customers, and execute our vision with a high degree of craftsmanship and quality. We sweat the details because we recognize that our users entrust us with their livelihoods and that Bluecrew makes a real, tangible difference in their lives.

- Deliver storyboards, wireframes, user flows and high fidelity design specs to facilitate incremental progress towards the vision and holding a high bar for quality each step of the way.
- Drive standardization of the user experience across our product suite through consistent UI language, component reuse, and incremental improvements and expansion of our design system.
- Champion design within the company and best practices within the team, and identify new opportunities to scale our design processes.
