A high-growth, consumer-first AI company is hiring its first VP of Design to define how millions of people experience a new category of AI-powered shopping.

This is not a “make it pretty” role. Design is a core product lever here.

In under a year, this product has scaled to hundreds of thousands of highly engaged users, strong retention, and real revenue, proving clear product-market fit. Backed by top-tier venture capital and operating profitably, the company is now investing heavily in design as it enters its next phase of growth.

You’ll own the end-to-end product design experience across a consumer AI platform spanning:

• AI-powered discovery & search
• Personalization and recommendation systems
• Social & sharing experiences
• Trust-building and delight-driven UX

Design has a seat at the table from day one, shaping strategy, influencing roadmap decisions, and shipping fast alongside Product and Engineering.

This is a hands-on leadership role where you set the bar for craft while still designing yourself.

What You’ll Be Responsible For:

• Owning product design from early concept through polished, shipped experiences
• Defining and evolving the design system, visual language, and interaction patterns
• Partnering deeply with Product & Engineering on roadmap and execution
• Using data, user insight, and taste to iterate quickly without sacrificing quality
• Building a design culture where speed and craft coexist

Your Background:

• 5+ years as a hands‑on Product Designer on consumer products
• Strong portfolio showing end-to-end ownership and shipped work
• High bar for UX, visual design, and interaction quality
• Comfort operating in ambiguity and moving fast
• Excellent cross-functional communication skills

Nice‑to‑haves:

• Experience in early‑stage or high-growth consumer startups
• Background in social, marketplace, commerce, or lifestyle products
• Strong taste across both product UX and brand/visual design
• Genuine interest in fashion, culture, and AI-powered consumer experiences

What Won’t Work:

• Design leaders who only manage and don’t design
• Multiple short tenures (
