HELP SHOPPERS, BRANDS, AND THE PLANET

We’re not solving a small problem, and we’re not addressing a small market. We’re going after returns—the part of the online purchase experience shoppers say they hate most.

Our customers use Happy Returns’ returns software and reverse logistics to reduce costs, retain revenue, and make their supply chains sustainable—while acquiring and keeping loyal shoppers.

We care about making returns something our customers don’t have to worry about, and we hope you do, too!

DO THE BEST WORK OF YOUR LIFE

At Happy Returns, you’ll have substantial impact. We solve challenging problems, work well as a team, and get great support and development from management. As our senior user experience (UX) designer, you will lead the UX design for all Happy Returns user-facing products, including retailer-branded online return & exchange flows, the “Returnista” mobile app used at Return Bars, retailer dashboards and customer service consoles, and even the proprietary software used to process returns in our Happy Returns hubs. You will partner with product, engineering, and other teams throughout the company to create user experiences that are compelling for customers, powerful and effective for retailers and location partners, and seamless for engineers to build and maintain.

If you’re a driven, talented, and customer-obsessed designer who enjoys working on challenging UX problems at start-up speed and agility, we want to meet you.
