Product Designer

The Role:

We're looking for a Product Designer to join our team and own design across our most critical growth surfaces. This is a new function — you'll be the first designer dedicated to Growth at Read AI — which means a genuine opportunity to build something from scratch rather than inherit someone else's playbook.

You’ll work at the intersection of product design and growth strategy, partnering closely with our Growth PM, engineers, and the broader design team to redesign how new users experience Read AI and how existing users expand into paying customers. Your work will be directly connected to activation rates, conversion metrics, and revenue growth — and you'll see the results of your design decisions in the data.

This role reports into the Design team with dedicated focus on Growth.

Own activation and onboarding

• Define and redesign the end-to-end new user experience, from first sign-up to first value moment
• Identify the biggest drop‑off points in our onboarding funnel and design solutions to address them
• Partner with PM and data to set activation benchmarks and measure impact

Drive conversion and monetization UX

• Own the design of paywalls, upgrade prompts, and trial-to-paid conversion surfaces
• Improve the quality and performance of these moments through iterative experimentation
• Develop a deep understanding of what motivates users to upgrade — and design for it

Build the growth design workflow

• Establish how design integrates into Read AI's growth experiment cycle
• Create reusable components, templates, and patterns for growth surfaces
• Move experiments faster without sacrificing craft quality

Be a genuine growth partner

• Bring design-led hypotheses into growth planning and road mapping
• Interpret experiment results alongside PM and data, and use them to inform the next design iteration
• Where growth patterns should become product-wide patterns, work with the broader design team to elevate them

• 2–5 years of product design experience, with a strong portfolio demonstrating craft and design thinking
• Experience or demonstrated interest in activation, onboarding, conversion, or growth‑adjacent UX
• Comfortable in a test‑and‑learn environment — you know how to scope design for experiments and iterate on results
• Self‑directed: you can make progress without a playbook, a predecessor to inherit from, or constant direction
• Strong collaborator with PMs and engineers; you build trust quickly and keep design from becoming a bottleneck
• Fluent in reading funnel data and using quantitative signals to sharpen design decisions

• Prior experience in a growth‑specific design role or at a company running a high‑velocity experiment program
• Familiarity with B2B SaaS products and the enterprise user journey
• Experience contributing to or building a design system
• Comfort with tools like Mixpanel, Amplitude, or similar analytics platforms
