Product Designer

About the Company

Lift Ventures, a remote-first startup studio whose portfolio of businesses has reached over 250 million consumers to date, is looking for an experienced UI/UX Product Designer to join our team and oversee our user-centric design process for our fast-growing site SuperSummary (supersummary.com). SuperSummary is a subscription-based website offering a library of professionally-written study guides and other educational resources on thousands of books for students, teachers, and readers of all types.

Over the last few years, we’ve built out a market and user research process that has unearthed many helpful insights that have helped us improve our product (often through A/B testing and experimentation) and ultimately, drive rapid growth. In this next phase, as the number of insights and product ideas increases, we are looking for additional help diving deeper into promising ideas via interviews and other research, designing and prototyping optimal solutions, and working with our Product team to prioritize and test new ideas. As our Product Designer, you will play a pivotal role in increasing the pace of innovation at our company through thoughtful research and world-class design.
