About The Role

We are looking for our first in-house Product Designer to take full ownership over design across the Popl platform - from web to mobile and even a bit of marketing content on our website. After five years of designing with contractors, we are bringing design in-house to unify and elevate the product. You will shape the future of our design system, introduce design processes, raise the bar for user experience, and most importantly, be the go-to person for designing everything within the web and mobile products.

We are looking for a senior-level IC who is excellent in Figma, and comfortable designing complex, multi-step workflows in simple and intuitive ways. This role requires someone who thrives in high ownership, fast-paced environments, is confident making decisions, and wants to help build the design foundation for the next stage of Popl’s growth.

You will inherit an already mature, feature-rich product and you will report directly to the Chief Product Officer.

What You’ll Do

Design across web and mobile: Lead design across Popl’s web dashboard and mobile app, owning the end-to-end user experience for both platforms. You will be the primary person designing everything.
Own the Design System: You will inherit usable Figma files where you will need to audit, unify, and mature our component libraries to ensure visual consistency between Web and Mobile, speeding up future design and development.
Own Design Operations: Structure our design processes, define quality bars, improve engineering handoff, and introduce design QA practices
Simplify Complex Workflows: You will be a key driver in helping us turn complex B2B workflows into intuitive, elegant user experiences. This applies both to new product development and to improving the existing platform so that our powerful capabilities remain easy to use.
Talk to Customers: You will conduct lightweight user research as needed. This could include usability testing, feedback sessions, customer interviews, review of live customer calls… etc.
Promote a Strong Product Culture: Advocate for design excellence across the company and help build a strong product culture.

What We’re Looking For

4+ Years Experience (Startup Focused): You have experience that demonstrates shipping real products in a startup environment. You understand the pace of a startup and know how to balance quality with speed.
Web & Mobile Fluency: You have deep experience designing for both web dashboards and mobile apps. You understand the differing constraints and patterns of cursor vs. a thumb, stationary computer vs on-the-go mobile device… etc.
Figma Power User: This one is simple. You are a Figma power user, with multiple years of figma experience. You are extremely comfortable with Figma and know how to use to efficiently and effectively in a team environment
Strong Product Sense: You don't build siloed features. You understand the business logic behind features and how they fit in with the product as a whole, and can make tradeoffs between design and engineering effort.
Excellent Communicator: Since you are the sole designer, you must be able to articulate the "why" behind your design decisions to the CPO and engineering team clearly.
Agency: You take initiative and ownership with everything you do and can function without significant oversight.
