Job Description

• Own the end-to-end Marketplace user experience — from discovery and strategy through detailed execution — shipping high-quality, accessible product experiences. • Define and drive Marketplace design strategy and vision, aligning cross-functional partners on what “great” looks like in the short-term and long-term. • Build a Marketplace that feels personalized and opinionated, helping users quickly find the right offers with clarity and confidence — not just browse a generic catalog. • Design for trust, clarity, and decision-making, ensuring Marketplace experiences are credible, easy to understand, and built for real-world constraints. • Partner deeply with Product, Engineering, and Data to define goals, prioritize the roadmap, run experiments, and iterate quickly based on performance and user insights. • Scale Marketplace into new verticals and categories, including Propel-branded products and services, while keeping the experience coherent and consistent. • Raise the bar on craft and quality, through strong design direction, critique, and hands-on contributions to key flows and experiences. • Help shape the Marketplace design team over time, including identifying skill gaps, supporting hiring, and setting a strong operating rhythm for execution.

Job Requirements

  • 10+ years of product design experience, including ownership of complex product areas from strategy through launch
  • Strong track record designing consumer experiences centered on discovery and browsing (e.g., marketplaces, commerce, travel, media, content-heavy products, etc.)
  • Proven ability to set a clear product/design vision and translate it into shippable work in fast-moving, ambiguous environments
  • Excellent judgment balancing user needs, business goals, and long-term trust
  • High craft bar — strong interaction design, visual polish, and attention to detail that raises the quality of what ships
  • Strong cross-functional leadership skills — you can operate as a senior partner to Product and Engineering, align stakeholders, and move decisions forward
  • Clear, compelling communicator — you can tell the story, make tradeoffs understandable, and bring teams along
  • High ownership and autonomy — you operate like an owner, look around corners, and make smart local decisions.

Benefits

  • Meaningful work and a strong shared sense of mission
  • Remote-friendly work environment with a dog-friendly office in Downtown Brooklyn. The team meets in-person for optional retreats.
  • 20 Days of PTO
  • 4% 401K match
  • $10k lifetime spend towards Carrot Fertility
  • Excellent Medical, Dental and Vision options
  • A strong equity package that reflects the leveling and anticipated impact of this role
