WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

As a Lead Product Designer, you’ll help envision and create outstanding experiences, while leading and mentoring other designers. Collaborating closely with cross-functional partners, you’ll balance a strategic approach with lean design execution. You’ll get to understand the complex needs of IT administrators, set the vision for the product grounded in those needs, and partner with a cross-functional team to build it iteratively.

Our team's primary focus is on software, but we also find opportunities to collaborate with teams across the organization and think about how to improve the entire customer journey. Meraki believes the quality of our products is dependent on the quality of our teams. We place a high value on nurturing the growth and development of everyone on our team. On the Design Team, we give and get feedback early and often, share what we know, and learn from each other.

Guide the design of large, complex projects or initiatives that span products.
Partner with Product Managers and Engineers to find opportunities, explore solutions, and take concepts from ideation to execution.
Translate what may start as ambiguous business needs into clear customer-focused solutions and frameworks.
Ensure a holistic, strategic, detailed approach to design in your product area.
Build effective working relationships and bring the wider team into the design process.
Craft stories and prototypes that help others envision and rally around your designs.
Provide constructive feedback and direction to other designers.
Contribute to broader product strategy and initiatives, and mentor more junior designers.
Play a hands-on role facilitating workshops, sketching and prototyping solutions, creating high-fidelity designs.

YOU'RE AN IDEAL CANDIDATE IF YOU HAVE:

10+ years of professional experience designing and delivering products in cross-functional teams from start to finish.
Love for making complex problems and workflows feel simple and approachable!
Ability to balance working strategically with shipping often.
Ability to persuasively tell the story of a project and its underlying design rationale.

About Cisco

#WeAreCisco, where each person is unique, but we bring our talents to work as a team and make a difference powering an expansive future for all.

We embrace digital, and help our customers implement change in their digital businesses. Some may think we’re “old” (36 years strong) and only about hardware, but we’re also a software company. And a security company. We even invented an intuitive network that adapts, predicts, learns and protects. No other company can do what we do – you can’t put us in a box!

But “Digital Transformation” is an empty buzz phrase without a culture that allows for innovation, creativity, and yes, even failure (if you learn from it.)

Day to day, we focus on the give and take. We give our best, give our egos a break, and give of ourselves (because giving back is built into our DNA.) We take accountability, bold steps, and take difference to heart. Because without diversity of thought and a dedication to equality for all, there is no moving forward.

So, you have colorful hair? Don’t care. Tattoos? Show off your ink. Like polka dots? That’s cool. Pop culture geek? Many of us are. Passion for technology and world changing? Be you, with us!
