Part-Time Product Designer

Description

Cofertility is a Series A company focused on the fast-growing field of fertility and family planning. We are a human-first fertility ecosystem rewriting the egg freezing and egg donation experience. Through Cofertility Freeze, women can freeze their eggs for free when they donate half of the retrieved eggs to a family who can’t otherwise conceive. Cofertility Family serves as a more transparent, ethical egg donor matching platform. We are passionate about improving the family-building journey — today or in the future — and are in an endless pursuit to make these experiences more positive.

Cofertility is looking for a part-time, contract-based Product / Experience Designer to help us shape the next generation of our experience, focused on our application and intake experiences to start. Cofertility is a human-centered, tech-enabled fertility company helping people build families in a more accessible and empowering way. Our product work sits at the intersection of healthcare, emotional decision-making, logistics, matching, and trust. The experiences we design need to be clear, warm, clinically useful, and deeply respectful of the people moving through them.

We are entering an exciting product chapter. As we move more of our application and intake experience into our own codebase, we have the opportunity to rethink what a more delightful version of a long, complex healthcare journey can feel like. We want the experience to feel less like filling out a form and more like building a complete picture: one that supports clinical review, egg freezing planning, and future matching of donors with intended parents.

We are looking for a designer who can help us bring that vision to life. In this role, you will help us:

• Adapt open-source component libraries such as shadcn/ui, Tailwind, Chakra, or similar into a Cofertility-native product language.
• Develop design system guidance (brand-aligned reusable UX patterns, components, interaction principles) that can be used by Product, Engineering, and non-technical vibecoding teammates across prototypes and production experiences.
• Redesign and iterate on our egg donor application experience, improving high-friction moments in a long, complex, mobile-first flow.
• Use qualitative feedback and funnel data to identify design opportunities. Prototype new experience concepts for user and internal team feedback.
• Explore AI-augmented product experiences and help create artifacts that accelerate our product development process.
• Partner closely with Product, Engineering, and Member Experience to make sure designs are thoughtful, buildable, and useful.

You may be a strong fit if you:

• Have experience designing consumer-facing digital products.
• Have worked in healthcare, fertility, wellness, family-building, marketplaces, dating, beauty, or another high-trust consumer category.
• Are excited about AI-augmented product development and already use AI tools to think, prototype, synthesize, or create faster.
• Care about user research, service design, and designing from real human needs.
• Can balance emotional warmth with clarity, structure, and operational precision.
• Are comfortable working with ambiguity and shaping early ideas, not just executing fully defined tickets.
• Have strong product judgment and can explain your design decisions clearly.
• Can work effectively in a part-time capacity with strong async communication and clear ownership.

This is a part-time contract role. Hours can be flexible, but we are looking for someone who can create meaningful momentum each week and work closely with our product team on high-impact design problems.

To apply, please share:

• Your portfolio or examples of relevant work.
• A brief note on why Cofertility is interesting to you.
• One example of a complex, sensitive, or high-conversion user journey you helped improve.
• Any examples of how you use AI tools in your design process, if relevant.
• Any examples of Design systems, component libraries, or reusable UX patterns you have created, if relevant
• Work where you adapted open-source components or existing UI libraries into a branded product experience.
• Work where structured data capture mattered for downstream workflows, operations, matching, recommendations, or clinical review.
