Product Designer (Mid-Senior)

Full-time

Product

Hybrid, Lagos

We're looking for a mid-senior Product Designer to help shape how creators and their members experience Nestuge. You'll work closely with the product team, from early ideation through to polished, pixel-perfect Figma designs, and take ownership of our design system to ensure consistency and quality across the product as we grow. This is a role for someone who thinks deeply about products, brings genuine craft to every screen, and holds a high bar for design quality and consistency, from the smallest component to the overall experience.

About Nestuge

Nestuge is a fast-growing company that empowers creators everywhere to earn a living doing what they love and on their own terms. We do this by providing all the tools they need to monetize their expertise through courses, online classes, events, digital products, and memberships.

Responsibilities

What You'll Do

Product Design

• Partner with the product team in ideation sessions, contributing ideas, challenging assumptions, and helping define the right problems to solve

• Own the end-to-end design process, from user flow mapping and wireframes through to final hi-fi designs ready for engineering handoff

• Bring deep product thinking to every brief, with the ability to articulate not just what a design looks like but why it's the right solution

Design System

• Assess, rework where needed, and maintain our existing design system in Figma, covering components, tokens, patterns, and guidelines

• Champion the design system across all new work, ensuring a consistent, high-quality visual and interaction language throughout the product

• Evolve the system pragmatically as the product grows, without letting it become a bottleneck

Collaboration & Craft

• Work cross-functionally with engineering and product to ensure designs are feasible and faithfully implemented

• Contribute to a design culture that holds quality, consistency, and clarity as non-negotiables

Must-haves

• 4–7 years of product design experience, ideally in SaaS or consumer tech

• A strong portfolio demonstrating end-to-end design work, from research and flows to polished hi-fi UI, with evidence of rigorous product thinking

• Expertise in Figma, including component design, auto layout, and design system management

• A high bar for design quality and consistency, with an eye for detail at every level of fidelity

• Experience owning or significantly contributing to a design system

• Strong communication skills, with the ability to present and defend design decisions clearly

Nice-to-haves

• Experience designing for creator tools, community platforms, or marketplace products

• Familiarity with gamification, engagement mechanics, or monetization flows

• Exposure to working in fast-moving, product-led startups
