Lead Product Designer (IC)

Lead end-to-end product design for core consumer experiences in a subscription-based fitness mobile app.

Own product design end-to-end: discovery, concepting, high-fidelity design, and launch
Create beautiful, intuitive, consumer-grade iOS experiences for an engaged subscriber base
Serve as a strategic thought partner to Product and Engineering while staying hands-on in Figma
Translate ambiguous opportunities into clear UX direction: information hierarchy, interaction models, and flows
Collaborate with engineers to ensure pixel-perfect, production-quality implementation
Shape design systems and brand/product cohesion as the product expands to nutrition, community, Android, and international surfaces
Operate as an IC-first senior leader in a lean, high-ownership environment

Requirements

7–10+ years as a Product Designer, ideally for consumer mobile apps (subscription-based)
Proven ability to ship high-craft iOS work that improves engagement and retention
Strong portfolio demonstrating taste, clarity, simplicity, and practical UX judgment
Experience in fast-paced startups or high-agency environments with low process overhead
Comfortable owning large problem spaces and making decisions with incomplete information
Strong collaboration with Product Managers and Engineers
Hands-on mindset; not a people-management role

Nice to Haves / Context

Interest in growth areas like Android, international expansion, and freemium
Experience leveling up craft with modern tooling and AI-forward workflows

$200k–$250k base + competitive equity
