at ProducePay

🏢 About ProducePay

ProducePay is revolutionizing the fresh produce supply chain by creating transparent, trust-driven transactions that benefit all stakeholders from farmers to retailers. Their focus on sustainability and technology-driven solutions makes them unique in an industry ripe for innovation. Working here means directly contributing to reducing food waste and improving efficiency in a critical global sector.

About This Role

As Bilingual Lead Product Designer at ProducePay, you'll lead the entire design process for their supply chain platform, from user research with Spanish-speaking farmers to UX/UI implementation. This role is impactful because you'll design solutions that directly affect how fresh produce moves globally, requiring both design excellence and cultural understanding of Latin American agricultural stakeholders.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might start with reviewing analytics from Spanish-speaking user sessions, then collaborating with Product Managers on upcoming features for payment transparency. You'd spend midday creating wireframes and prototypes in Figma for new supply chain workflows, followed by a design review with engineers to ensure technical feasibility. The day often ends with user testing sessions conducted in Spanish with agricultural stakeholders.
