This prompt

You are a senior talent brand strategist and technical recruiter who writes job descriptions that consistently pull in top-decile ("A-player") candidates — the kind who are not actively job-hunting and can be picky.

Your task: write a complete, publish-ready job description for the role below that makes a high-caliber, currently-employed person stop scrolling and want to apply. You've succeeded when the posting leads with mission and measurable impact, states pay openly, lists only genuine must-haves, and reads like a specific real team wrote it — not a generic template.

Work only from the details between the <role_brief> tags. Where a field is blank, either omit that section or insert a clearly bracketed [PLACEHOLDER: what to confirm] and list it at the end — never invent salary, benefits, or company facts.

<role_brief>
Company: {{company}}
Industry: {{industry}}
Role title: {{role_title}}
Seniority: {{seniority}}
Work arrangement: {{work_arrangement}}
Location: {{location}}
Salary / comp range: {{salary_range}}
Ideal candidate we want to attract: {{audience}}
Why this role exists / the impact it will have: {{role_impact}}
What success looks like (first 6–12 months): {{key_outcomes}}
Genuine must-have qualifications: {{must_haves}}
Nice-to-have (not required): {{nice_to_haves}}
Team, manager, tools/stack, growth path: {{team_and_tools}}
Comp beyond base (equity, benefits, perks that matter): {{benefits}}
How to apply / what to submit: {{how_to_apply}}
Brand voice: {{brand_voice}}
</role_brief>

Follow these steps:
1. Open with a one- to two-sentence hook that names the mission and the single biggest problem this person will own. Skip "We are seeking…" boilerplate.
2. Write a short "About us" with 2–3 specific, verifiable details (what the company does, its stage, a real proof point) — concrete facts signal a well-run team.
3. Add "What you'll accomplish", framed as outcomes drawn from {{key_outcomes}} (e.g., "In your first 90 days you'll…"), not a duties checklist.
4. Add "What you'll do" — 4–6 day-to-day responsibilities in plain, active language.
5. Split requirements into "What you bring" (must-haves only, 5–7 items) and "Bonus points" (nice-to-haves). Keep a requirement only if you'd genuinely reject a great candidate who lacked it.
6. State the salary range and the comp-beyond-base openly and early. If the range is missing, insert a bracketed placeholder rather than guessing.
7. Describe honestly how the team works, the tools/stack, who the person reports to, and the growth path.
8. Close with a specific call to apply from {{how_to_apply}} and a one-line inclusive-hiring statement.
9. Do a final pass: cut clichés ("rockstar", "ninja", "wear many hats", "fast-paced"), replace vague adjectives with specifics, and swap any gendered or exclusionary wording for neutral terms.

Output format (Markdown, use these headings):
- **Title & tagline** — role title plus the one-line mission hook
- **About {{company}}**
- **What you'll accomplish**
- **What you'll do**
- **What you bring**
- **Bonus points**
- **Compensation & benefits** (lead with the range)
- **How we work** (team, tools, reporting, growth)
- **How to apply**
- **Equal-opportunity line**

Then, under a "--- Notes" divider: list any assumptions you flagged, every [PLACEHOLDER] to fill in, and 2 alternate one-line taglines.

Constraints:
- Keep the whole posting under ~600 words; A-players skim.
- Write in {{brand_voice}}, second person ("you"), active voice, specific over superlative.
- State only facts present in <role_brief>; if something is unknown, mark it and say so rather than fabricating.
- Use neutral language and drop any unnecessary degree or "years of experience" gate.
- Emphasize what the candidate gets to build and own, not just what you require of them.

20 fields still empty — the {{like_this}} slots fill in as you type.

**Senior Product Designer — own the experience 4,000 supply-chain teams touch every day**

Most supply-chain software looks like a spreadsheet had a bad day. Northwind is the exception, and we're hiring a Senior Product Designer to keep it that way as we scale from 4,000 to 40,000 users.

**About Northwind Analytics**
We turn messy logistics data into decisions operators actually trust. Series A ($14M, led by Amplify), 38 people, gross-margin profitable, used daily by planners at three of the top-ten US retailers.

**What you'll accomplish**
- In 90 days: own the redesign of our alerts flow — the #1 driver of churn — and ship the first iteration.
- By month 6: stand up our first real design system so four engineers stop rebuilding the same dropdown.
- By month 12: raise activation (signup → first insight) from 41% to 60%.

**What you'll do**
- Lead end-to-end design on 2–3 core workflows, from problem framing to shipped pixels.
- Run lightweight research with real planners — we'll get you on calls in week one.
- Prototype in Figma, pair with engineers in-sprint, and QA the build.
- Set the craft bar and push the team to raise it.

**What you bring**
- 5+ years designing complex B2B or data-heavy products.
- A portfolio that shows how you think, not just how things look.
- Fluency in Figma and comfort turning ambiguous problems into shippable scope.
- You've built or meaningfully extended a design system.
- You write clearly and can defend a decision without ego.

**Bonus points**
- Logistics, ops, or fintech domain experience.
- Front-end chops — you can push a CSS tweak yourself.

**Compensation & benefits**
$150,000–$185,000 base + 0.15–0.35% equity. Medical/dental/vision (100% covered for you, 75% for dependents), 4 weeks PTO plus a one-week December shutdown, $2,000/year learning budget, and a real say in the roadmap.

**How we work**
Remote-first across US time zones, with an optional NYC hub and two team on-sites a year. You'll report to our Head of Design (ex-Stripe) and work daily with a tight pod of two PMs and four engineers. We ship weekly, write things down, and protect focus time.

**How to apply**
Send your portfolio and a two-line note on a product decision you're proud of to careers@northwind.io. No cover-letter theater — we read every application within a week.

Northwind is an equal-opportunity employer; we hire on evidence of ability and welcome candidates of every background.

--- Notes
- Assumption flagged: the 41% activation baseline and "alerts = top churn driver" are illustrative — replace with your real metrics.
- [PLACEHOLDER: confirm dependent-coverage % and the equity band with finance before posting.]
- Alternate taglines: "Design the tool logistics planners open before their coffee." / "Turn the ugliest software category into your best portfolio piece."
