Overview

We’re looking for a Junior Product Designer II with a strong foundation in visual design and at least 1 year of real-world experience through an internship, contract role, or full-time position. This role is for someone who has moved beyond purely academic work and has begun applying design skills in live business environments with real deadlines, stakeholders, and performance expectations.

This role sits at the intersection of product, marketing, and growth—where design decisions directly influence conversion, engagement, and customer experience. You should have early experience presenting ideas, managing stakeholder feedback, balancing differing opinions, and defending design decisions with logic rather than preference.

You’ll operate in a fast-paced environment where speed matters, but not at the expense of quality. The ideal candidate is highly coachable, adaptable, inquisitive, and eager to continue growing. We’re looking for someone who can execute strong work independently, communicate professionally, and contribute with increasing confidence in a collaborative environment.

Partner with leadership to shape design strategy for the assets you own: Meta ads, Website, Emails

You’re proactive in identifying what matters most and focusing your effort accordingly
You’re open to feedback and coaching, especially when it comes to improving efficiency and decision-making

This role extends beyond core design work. You’ll be expected to:

Take on ad hoc projects such as dashboard design, presentation (deck) design, and other emerging needs
Step in to support teammates across functions during high-demand periods
Contribute to a collaborative, team-first environment where support is mutual and proactive

What We’re Looking For

Designer with strong drawing/design fundamental skills adopted through university level training
The ability to critique and speak to design decisions
Strong collaboration skills across product, marketing, and engineering
Ability to work autonomously while staying aligned with broader business goals

Why This Role Matters
