About the job
What You'll Do
- Rapidly design, deliver, and iterate on end-to-end user journeys that drive measurable impact on user acquisition, activation, retention, and revenue.
- Shape and shepherd the design vision and strategy for key growth levers across acquisition, activation, engagement, and monetization.
- Partner closely with product, engineering, data, and marketing to identify high-impact opportunities and shape roadmaps.
- Lead complex projects end-to-end, from identifying insights through to execution and iteration.
- Define and refine how we approach experimentation and measurement from a design perspective.
- Champion design excellence and advocate for our users—balancing experimentation velocity with long-term product quality.
- Mentor and coach other designers on the Growth team, supporting both craft and career development.
- Act as a thought partner to design leadership, contributing to design ops, hiring, and evolving our Growth design culture.
What We’re Looking For

- A portfolio that demonstrates exceptional craft, critical thinking, and a strong bias for impact.
- Deep understanding of product-led growth mechanics and how to design for conversion, retention, and revenue.
- Strong experimentation experience—comfortable designing A/B tests, interpreting results, and iterating quickly to deliver quality at speed.
- Systems thinker who can zoom in on pixels and zoom out to product vision without skipping a beat.
- Proven leader and collaborator—you influence without authority and act as a centerpoint to bring cross-functional teams together.
- Confident communicator who can clearly articulate design rationale, strategic thinking, and trade-offs.
- Our ideal candidate has prior management experience, history as a design mentor to Senior-level designers, or an interest in growing into a management role.
