About the role
We are looking for a Lead Product Designer to own end-to-end product design at Sunnyside. This is a highly collaborative role where you will partner closely with our Product, Engineering, and Growth teams to shape our consumer experience on all platforms. You will report directly to Sunnyside’s Head of Product. As a generalist designer at a small startup, your work will span UX and visual design, research and discovery, and sometimes even stretch to support our brand design work. The strongest emphasis will be on UX and visual design for our iOS and Android apps. This is a unique opportunity to join a mission-driven company in the early stages, have a direct impact on our members’ health and wellness, and help us define a new consumer category.
About our toolkit
We primarily use Figma for product design and collaboration, Lottie for animations, Linear for product management, and Slack for communication. Our design work spans iOS and Android mobile apps, web experiences, and member-facing growth funnels. We don’t expect you to have used our exact toolkit before, but we do require strong proficiency in Figma.
You will be successful in this role by:
- Leading design of Sunnyside’s consumer product experiences, from research and discovery through to prototyping, launch, and post-launch iteration and optimization.
- Acting as a tastemaker and standard-bearer for high-quality, delightful product experiences across the Sunnyside platform.
- Evolving and maintaining our design system in a way that reflects our brand and drives usability across platforms.
- Supporting product leadership in designing and running customer interviews, surveys, and usability tests to better understand our members and translate insights into actionable product strategy.
- Driving improvements to onboarding flows, conversion funnels, and member activation through thoughtful design and experimentation.
- Helping shape the culture of design at Sunnyside, including mentoring future design hires as the team grows.
We’re excited about you because:
- You have 5+ years of professional design experience, including substantial experience working on consumer mobile products.
- You are equally strong in UX and visual design, with an exceptional eye for detail and usability. You bring a user-centric approach to all of your work.
- You believe that craft and quality are differentiators in consumer experiences, and you know how to use animation and small moments of delight to amplify key emotional moments in the member journey.
- You have experience conducting user research and distilling feedback into actionable insights.
- You thrive in collaborative environments and are eager to work cross-functionally with product, engineering, and other stakeholders.
- You love showing your work early and feel at home discussing and incorporating feedback from your cross-functional partners.
- You are comfortable working in the ambiguity of a fast-paced startup environment and embrace the reality of rapidly changing priorities.
- Bonus: You have experience in consumer health, wellness, or behavioral change products.
- Bonus: You have early-stage startup experience (Pre-seed, Seed, or Series A).
