Role Overview

Hook is seeking a Product Designer to lead the Studio/Creator experience while contributing across the broader product as needed. You will design the Studio experience—one of the most complex and differentiated surfaces—where creators build content using licensed music, video clips, and AI-powered tools.

This role will operate across mobile and web, ensuring a consistent and thoughtful end-to-end experience as users move between creation, consumption, and management workflows.

• Translate product goals and user insights into clear, high-quality design solutions
• Explore multiple directions, prototype quickly, and iterate based on feedback and data
• Partner closely with Product and Engineering to ensure high-quality execution
• Deepen interaction design and craft to improve the overall experience
• Maintain consistency and cohesion across surfaces, contributing to a shared design system
• Support adjacent areas such as cross-platform journeys and partner-facing tools for labels/artists

Requirements

• 4–7 years of product design experience (ideally consumer or prosumer), including complex workflows or creative tools (video/audio/design/AI tools)
• Strong product thinking and ability to identify problems and drive solutions end-to-end
• Experience designing complex workflows/tools (e.g., creative tools, editors, marketplaces, multi-step flows)
• Strong interaction design and attention to detail in complex/high-frequency flows
• Ability to design for both mobile and web, adapting appropriately across platforms
• Ability to prototype quickly and validate concepts
• Strong systems thinking to keep experiences consistent across the product
• Experience collaborating closely with Product and Engineering in fast-paced, iterative environments
• Ability to apply/extend brand naturally and at scale in product experiences
• Comfort using AI tools to support exploration, iteration, and design workflows
