About the Role
As a Senior Product Designer focused on Growth, you’ll lead design across the user journey — from first impression to long-term engagement — driving outcomes like acquisition, activation, and retention. While growth will be your primary focus, you’ll also bring a full-stack mindset, contributing to strategic, cross-functional product work, navigating ambiguity, and delivering polished, creator-focused experiences alongside product, engineering, data, and research.
You will be part of a close and collaborative design and research team and own projects through definition, design, production, and delivery.
This is an exciting and rare opportunity to design product experiences for an inspiring creative customer, across a range of use cases, with an exceptional brand.
