Lead Product Designer, Growth (Upper Funnel)

About This Opportunity

Our talent team is representing a confidential collaboration software company in their search for a Lead Product Designer focused on Growth. This is a remote position open to candidates in Canada and the United States.

You'll own the end-to-end growth journey, defining how users discover value, decide to invest deeper, and choose to stay. This role combines individual contributor work with people leadership—you'll be hands-on designing discovery, activation, and monetization experiences while directly managing 1-3 designers and elevating growth design practices across the organization.

This is a unique opportunity to bring craft, rigor, and systems thinking to growth design in a product-led environment where conversion and user trust must work together, not against each other.

Responsibilities

Design Leadership (Hands-On IC Work):

• Define user-centered discovery, activation, and monetization experiences across onboarding flows, upgrade paths, pricing surfaces, and lifecycle touchpoints
• Work from concept through production, delivering thoughtful UX, polished visual design, and prototypes that communicate direction and value
• Use behavioral data as a primary design input—interpret funnel metrics, experiment results, and user signals to inform decisions
• Design and lead experiments across acquisition, activation, and expansion funnels in partnership with product and data science teams
• Establish reusable growth patterns in the design system that balance clarity, persuasion, and long-term user trust
• Partner closely with engineers to ensure accurate, high-quality implementation

People Leadership:

• Directly manage 1-3 designers: conduct regular 1:1s, set goals, provide performance feedback, and support career development
• Model how to hold craft and commercial intent simultaneously—designing for conversion without compromising user trust
• Mentor designers on growth-adjacent surfaces, developing their instincts around hierarchy, motivation, friction, and funnel thinking
• Champion the relationship between growth quality and product quality across leadership

Cross-Functional Collaboration:

• Reframe problems at the funnel level, helping teams understand where value is earned or lost
• Lead workshops on pricing, packaging, onboarding, and upgrade opportunities
• Partner with research, data science, and product to define success metrics and shape experiment hypotheses
• Contribute to a culture of design excellence where growth and core product experiences intersect

What We're Looking For

Required Experience:

• 8+ years of product design experience, ideally in SaaS, productivity tools, collaboration software, or product-led growth environments
• Track record of leading growth, monetization, or conversion-focused design work—not just contributing to it
• Deep fluency in funnel thinking: understanding acquisition, activation, retention, and expansion as a connected system
• Strong data instincts: ability to read behavioral data, interpret experiment results, and use insights to sharpen design decisions
• Experience mentoring or leading other designers, with demonstrated ability to raise the quality of work around you

Core Skills:

• Exceptional craft: visual clarity, spacing, motion, and interaction polish are second nature
• Systems thinking: understanding how decisions cascade across surfaces, journeys, and user relationships over time
• Strong interaction design skills with careful approach to visual polish, hierarchy, motion, and clarity
• Ability to design within systems and establish patterns that scale
• Empathy for first-time users and sensitivity to trust, motivation, and cognitive load
• Strong communication skills that help cross-functional partners make smart, user-centered decisions
• Comfort operating in spaces where patterns don't yet exist and playbooks need to be written

Valued Additional Experience:

• Experience with pricing architecture, packaging strategy, or monetization model design
• Deep experience mapping and designing activation journeys from first action to value realization
• Hands-on experience using AI-assisted tools and prototyping to explore growth flows
• Background in organic acquisition or activation funnels at scale
• Experience working with data science teams on experimentation frameworks
• History of shaping 0→1 growth systems or redesigning acquisition/retention loops
