About the role
We're looking for a Staff Designer to take on the biggest, messiest, most ambiguous problems at Otter, the ones that don't have an owner yet because nobody's figured out what the real problem even is. This isn't a role where you're handed a brief. You'll go find the thing worth solving, make the case for why it matters, and lead it from a rough idea to something real, shipped, and unmistakably Otter. You will:
What they're looking for
- A track record of finding the right problem to solve, not just solving the one you were given
- Experience shipping work that started as pure ambiguity, no clean brief, no clear owner, just a direction
- A sharp eye for brand and craft, someone who notices when something feels almost right and pushes it the rest of the way
- Strong storytelling instincts, you can get a room to believe in a direction before it exists
- Enterprise or B2B experience is a strong plus, and bonus points if you've also touched the consumer side of that same business
