You’ll lead design for major areas of the product, working closely with Product, Engineering, and leadership to turn complex problems into simple, intuitive, and delightful experiences for students.

This is a hands-on leadership role. You’ll spend most of your time designing, prototyping, and shipping, while also helping guide other designers, raise the quality bar, and evolve how the design team works as Outsmart grows.

- Mentor and manage designers, helping them grow while raising the quality of their work

- Lead critiques and create a culture of thoughtful, direct, and productive feedback

- Help establish design processes that allow a small team to move quickly and maintain a high quality bar

- Use research, data, experimentation, and rapid prototyping to inform product decisions

- Evolve Outsmart’s design system and overall product language

- Help grow the design team and shape its culture as the company scales

WHAT HELPS YOU SUCCEED

- 8+ years of product design experience, with significant experience designing consumer-facing digital products

- Previous experience managing and developing product designers

- A portfolio demonstrating exceptional product thinking, interaction design, and visual craft

- Experience owning complex products or major product areas from strategy through launch

- A strong track record of shipping products used by real customers at meaningful scale

- Excellent Figma and prototyping skills, with a willingness to stay deeply hands-on

- Strong collaboration with Product and Engineering, including comfort navigating technical and business constraints

- Experience using AI tools to accelerate design, prototyping, and exploration

- Strong communication skills and the ability to influence product direction across disciplines

- High standards for craft paired with the judgment to know when to ship and iterate

Salary Range: $175,000–$225,000.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
