You’ll work across a variety of products and experiences, including both: zero-to-one experiences where you operate in a fast-moving startup within a startup, and optimizing our core businesses where you drive meaningful gains to our bottom line.

Duties and Responsibilities:

- Lead design strategy across multiple product units
- Help set the vision for our overall user experience
- Build new products and iterate on existing ones
- Balance smaller projects with big bets that level up the overall product
- Manage executive stakeholders across engineering, product, marketing, and more
- Drive improvements to the product development process with cross functional partners
- If Principal, mentor and lead the work of other designers
- Actively participate and work to transition towards an AI-augmented product building model

Qualifications and Skills:





- At least 7 years of Product Design experience (10 years for Principal)
- At least 2 years at a venture-funded, private startup required
- For Principal level, at least 2 years in a role where you are influencing the work of others either through direct management or indirect leadership.
- The majority of your experience is in-house working on direct-to-consumer products
- You’ve worked in a high-velocity, experiment-driven environment
- An understanding of when to use the design process and when to shortcut it. Your process has predictably excellent output
- You can clearly articulate the reasoning behind your design decisions. Your work demonstrates intentionality and rigorous thinking
- Demonstrated ability to measure the impact of your work and its impact on the business
- A strong portfolio that demonstrates your ability to move quickly while producing high-quality work, including interaction details, storytelling, visual polish, and content design
- A track record of raising the bar for the design practices you have been a member of
- Experience leading projects end-to-end, including discovery, problem definition, ideation, and validation, all the way through engineering implementation and measurement
- Experience in launching 0-1 products, not just iterating on something that already exists
