- Support Product Marketing: Collaborate with the Head of Marketing to align design and marketing strategies.
- End-to-End Design: Take concepts through their entire life-cycle: research → exploration → prototype → production. Ensuring the app's overall layout, patterns, and structure work holistically.
- User-Centric Approach: Conduct user research and testing interviews to better understand the humans using our product and how best to design for them. Embrace continuous discovery practices driven by a deep understanding of customer needs and validated learning.
- High-Quality Experiences: Create high-quality, delightful experiences while collaborating with your team's product manager and engineers.

Requirements
What skills and experience do I need?
Required
- Product Design Expertise: Experience designing digital products and systems, not just websites. Proven track record of shipping products that solve real problems and are actively used.
- Tool Proficiency: High proficiency in Figma or other modern design and collaboration tools.
- End-to-end Process Understanding: Deep understanding of the end-to-end design process, from brainstorming to prototyping and visual design to post-launch research and iteration.
- Communication: Strong communication skills.
- Collaboration and Learning: Highly collaborative and love learning from others. Experience working asynchronously as part of a fully remote, distributed team.
- Adaptability: Demonstrated ability to work in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.
- Pride and Improvement: Pride in your work and constantly drive for improvement.
- Problem-Solving Skills: Ability to break down complex problems into digestible parts while considering the entire system.
- Agility: Comfortable shipping fast and iterating quickly when possible, while knowing when to take more time to find the right solution.
- Mobile-First Design: Experience designing for mobile-first applications and responsive design. This includes a strong understanding of mobile design principles, user behaviors on mobile devices, and the constraints and opportunities of designing for smaller screens.
- Location and Hours: This is a remote full-time position, however we are not fully asynchronous. You must be willing and able to commit to core working hours between 10 AM and 2 PM EST Monday through Friday. You must be located and authorized to work in the US. We do not sponsor visas.
- Travel: Despite our remote setup, we value the benefits of in-person collaboration. You should be open to occasional travel (up to 4 times per year), as we believe that sometimes the best tool for the job is to spend time together in person.
Nice to have
- Startups: Previous experience working in a startup
- Domain knowledge: Experience with products in similar domains like accounting, practice management, or project management
- Secret coder: You have a technical understanding of the web frameworks. You don't have to know how to code, but we think it helps to know some of the medium's constraints.
