As a core member of the Subscription Growth team, you'll move quickly across multiple concurrent workstreams, partnering with Product, Marketing, Engineering, Research, and Brand to ship high-impact, revenue-generating work.

- Partner effectively with Product, Marketing, Engineering, Research, and Brand stakeholders to translate business objectives into customer-centric experiences, presenting your work with clear rationale grounded in design principles and user insight.
- Mentor Product Designer I colleagues through feedback, design pairing, and knowledge sharing, modeling craft excellence and helping them connect their decisions to business outcomes.
You Have
- 3-5+ years of product design experience, with demonstrated ability to own complex features or flows end-to-end, from problem definition through launch and optimization.
- A portfolio showcasing end-to-end design work for complex digital products—ideally conversion-focused experiences in subscriptions, ecommerce, media, or SaaS—that demonstrates strong visual craft and clear thinking.
- Strong visual design craft and attention to detail, with mastery of typography, layout, color, and interaction patterns.
- Excellent communication and cross-functional collaboration skills, with a track record of partnering effectively across Product, Engineering, Marketing, Research, and Brand.
- Hands-on strength across user flows, interaction design, visual design, prototyping, and experimentation, including comfort interpreting funnel metrics and experiment results.
- Strong systems thinking, with experience working within established design systems and contributing patterns back.
- Excellence in Figma, with the ability to create detailed specifications, interactive prototypes, and organized files others can build on.
- Deep understanding of design fundamentals and accessibility standards (WCAG), with the ability to articulate design decisions using established principles.
- Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience in Design, HCI, or a related field is a plus.
