Product Designer

Role Overview

As a Staff Product Designer on the Growth team, you’ll be a key driver of Linktree’s product‑led growth strategy—working at the intersection of user behavior, business strategy, and product craft. You’ll lead the design direction for experiments, onboarding, conversion, and monetization experiences that help users discover value, upgrade, and stay engaged. This hands‑on role has high impact and expectations to influence product direction, shape strategy alongside PMs and engineering leads, and raise the bar for design craft and experimentation across the team.

You’ll also mentor and guide other designers to align their process, thinking, and work with business goals and iterative approaches.

• Rapidly design, deliver, and iterate on end‑to‑end user journeys that drive measurable impact on user acquisition, activation, retention, and revenue.
• Shape and shepherd the design vision and strategy for key growth levers across acquisition, activation, engagement, and monetization.
• Partner closely with product, engineering, data, and marketing to identify high‑impact opportunities and shape roadmaps.
• Lead complex projects end‑to‑end, from identifying insights through to execution and iteration.
• Define and refine how we approach experimentation and measurement from a design perspective.
• Champion design excellence and advocate for our users—balancing experimentation velocity with long‑term product quality.
• Mentor and coach other designers on the Growth team, supporting both craft and career development.
• Act as a thought partner to design leadership, contributing to design ops, hiring, and evolving our Growth design culture.

• 8+ years of product design experience, including 2+ years in a senior or staff‑level role on a growth or optimization‑focused team.
• A portfolio that demonstrates exceptional craft, critical thinking, and a strong bias for impact.
• Deep understanding of product‑led growth mechanics and how to design for conversion, retention, and revenue.
• Strong experimentation experience—comfortable designing A/B tests, interpreting results, and iterating quickly to deliver quality at speed.
• Systems thinker who can zoom in on pixels and zoom out to product vision without skipping a beat.
• Proven leader and collaborator—you influence without authority and act as a centerpoint to bring cross‑functional teams together.
• Confident communicator who can clearly articulate design rationale, strategic thinking, and trade‑offs.
• Our ideal candidate has prior management experience, history as a design mentor to senior‑level designers, or an interest in growing into a management role.

• Be part of a rapidly growing company shaping the future of how people connect online.
• Contribute to a product that impacts millions of users worldwide, driving innovation in digital experiences.
• Shape the user experience for one of the most popular platforms globally.
• Be part of a collaborative and inclusive culture that values diversity and innovation.
• Enjoy competitive compensation, flexible work arrangements, and robust professional development opportunities.
