Product Designer, D2C Growth

Who We Are: 

At Calm, we have a simple, albeit BIG mission: to make the world a happier and healthier place. Through our website, blog, and app—filled with meditations, sleep stories, music, movement, and more—we’re redefining what mental care looks like in 2021 and beyond. With over 100 million users worldwide, 100,000 new users daily, and our growing partnerships with major companies, we’re having a positive effect on more and more people each and every day. And while the heart of Calm is digital, we are growing and expanding offline with a variety of products and services to help deliver on our mission of health and happiness, the world over.

What We Do:

The Product Designer will be the design lead for our newest team focusing on Product growth at Calm. They will partner with Product Management, Engineering, Data Science, and Marketing to plan efforts to bring new customers to Calm. This role requires someone with a deep understanding of the variety of motivators and deterrents that arise when people are considering digital products, subscriptions, or wellness. We hope to find someone who is excited by bringing forward their skills and passion around a number of areas including product marketing, quantitative and qualitative data, copy strategy, design systems, accessibility, and web standards. A great fit for this role will love talking to others about their work in structured and unstructured settings. A person who thinks a great product experience starts with how someone first engages with a brand, before ever using their products or services. Someone who agrees that great design ideas can come from anyone in the company and welcomes diverse perspectives to the discussion. At Calm we believe in making relaxation, better sleep, and mindfulness accessible to the entire world, and we hope you will help us achieve our mission.

• Design system-centered approach to building experiences. You love creating modular and smart interfaces that reduce complexity and fragmentation.
• Bringing data into your decision-making and rationale, understanding how your work is performing with a literacy of the measures being applied to it. Leveraging tooling like Amplitude, Google Analytics, or Fullstory.
• Comfortable with different software development platforms and tools. We currently use JIRA and Confluence

Who You Are:

• Executing end-to-end design initiatives for web-based experiences, from conception with stakeholders to final implementation with engineering.

• A great track record in working closely with Product Managers, Researchers, and Data Analysts to develop product requirements, creating and validating solutions, and getting buy-in from stakeholders.
• Demonstrating prior use of qualitative and quantitative methods to validate design decisions and strategy. We believe in leveraging everything from user research to data analysis to help empower our decision-making.
