About Cobrief

We’re building Cobrief, a platform that turns static business documents (.docx, PDFs) into smart, interactive ones.

Think:

• Proposals that rewrite themselves.
• Contracts that explain their own risks.
• Documents with trackable links and embedded payments.

The product is live. We're now hiring a contract product designer to lead our design system build and UX redesign sprint, with the option to stay on in a flexible, ad hoc role as we roll out new features.

What we’re looking for

This isn’t a “make it pretty” project. We need someone who can:

• Audit and clean up the current product.
• Build a proper modular design system (components, tokens, layouts).
• Redesign key flows: editing, AI actions, sending, tracking.
• Make the product feel fast, lightweight, structured, and calm — not overdesigned.
• Help us ship faster and scale cleanly.

The core UX loop is: Find or upload a doc → edit with AI → send or share → track. Everything in the product exists to make that loop smoother and faster.

About the team

We’re a small team:

• 2 co-founders.
• 3 engineers.
• Remote, async.
• Fast-moving, detail-oriented, sharp on product taste.

You’ll work directly with the founders and engineers.

Who this is not for

• Designers who optimize for Dribbble screenshots over real usability.
• People who overuse padding, motion, or round everything.
• Anyone mimicking Notion instead of thinking from first principles.

Who this is for

• Designers who think in systems, not one-off screens.
• People who value user clarity, fast feedback, and structured design.
• Someone who can think through UX flows as well as visual hierarchy.
• Fans of tools like Coda, Retool, Superhuman — who want to push further.

Other notes

• We’re only hiring individual freelancers (no studios or agencies).
• Ideal candidates are in UK, US, Eastern Europe, or Australia (timezone overlap helps).
• Despite being B2B, we like fun, lively design with personality, so this will be a fun gig with plenty of opportunity to design something that feels sharp, expressive, and genuinely enjoyable to use — not another soulless dashboard.

If that's you, we'd love to talk!
