Senior Product Designer II - Consumer Experiences

At Compass, our mission is to help everyone find their place in the world. Founded in 2012, we’re revolutionizing the real estate industry with our end-to-end platform that empowers residential real estate agents to deliver exceptional service to seller and buyer clients. Who we're looking for We're looking for a Senior Product Designer to create consumer-facing experiences on web and mobile that serve as the front door to our real estate platform — the point at which home buyers and sellers first encounter our brands, begin their search, and get connected with the professionals who will guide them. In this role, you will partner closely with Product and Engineering teams to design experiences that work across a portfolio of real estate brands, helping consumers find what they need and take their next step with confidence. The ideal candidate brings deep experience designing within consumer brand ecosystems across web and mobile platforms, a rigorous approach to discovery and research, and a portfolio that demonstrates both design excellence and user-centric thinking. You are highly collaborative, comfortable operating in ambiguity, and motivated by the challenge of making something genuinely difficult feel clear and human. Responsibilities Discovery & Research Lead and support discovery work to understand consumer behaviors, mental models, and pain points across the home search and agent-connection journey. Design and facilitate usability studies, contextual interviews, and concept tests. Synthesize qualitative and quantitative signals into actionable product opportunities. Translate research insights into well-articulated problem frames that align design, product, and engineering around a shared understanding of consumer needs. Interaction Design & Craft Design intuitive, polished consumer experiences across the full product surface — search and filtering, listing detail pages, saved homes and collections, agent profiles, and the connection and lead handoff moments. Hold the bar on craft. Create customer journey maps, user flows, wireframes, and high-fidelity prototypes to drive alignment, communicate intent, and pressure-test solutions before build. Design and validate multimodal experiences (web, mobile web, native mobile) and ensure consistency, quality, and brand coherence across surfaces. Systems Thinking & Documentation Think beyond individual screens — consider how content, data, user actions, and moments across the consumer journey connect to create a coherent, end-to-end experience that holds up from first search through agent connection. Contribute to and work within established design systems across a multi-brand ecosystem to ensure scalability, usability, and consistency. Identify patterns worth standardizing at the platform level and advocate for system-level solutions that serve all brands equitably. Deliver clear, thorough design documentation and specifications that set Engineering and Product partners up to build with confidence and without ambiguity. Cross-Functional Collaboration & Strategy Build strong working relationships with Product, Engineering, Research, and Marketing stakeholders. Understand team priorities and bring a design perspective to strategy conversations, not just execution. Balance consumer needs, business objectives, and technical constraints to solve problems effectively. Make tradeoffs transparent and advocate for the consumer when those interests are in tension. Contribute to a broader consumer product strategy that reflects CIH's commitment to delivering an exceptional home buying and selling experience — one that earns consumer trust and connects people with the right professionals at the right time. What You Bring 7+ years of product design experience, with meaningful work on consumer-facing web and mobile products — ideally within search, marketplace, real estate, or similarly complex consumer journeys.
