Product Designer [Builder]

About Workweek

Workweek is reimagining how business leaders create, connect, and collaborate. We're solving the knowledge expert paradox — the idea that the more experienced a business leader becomes, the harder it is for the world to access their knowledge. We're fixing that by building Operator Networks: high-trust, professional communities where verified leaders share high-signal insights across HR, Healthcare, Marketing, Ecommerce, and Fintech. We're reimagining what a social network can be — not built for attention, but for expertise.

Alongside our community platform, we operate a Partner Platform — the B2B layer that powers how our advertising and partner clients plan, execute, and measure campaigns against our audiences. It's two distinct product surfaces, one shared mission: make expert knowledge accessible and valuable.

About The Role

For years, designers have asked for earlier influence, a seat at the table, and more ownership over what gets built. This is what that actually looks like. We're looking for a Product Designer & Builder — someone who has strong design instincts and the itch to take an idea all the way through. Not to hand off a Figma file and wait. To form the hypothesis, prototype it, ship it, read the results, and do it again.

You're the designer who opens Amplitude before anyone asks you to. You've shipped something small on the side just to see what happens. You care about craft, not as an end in itself, but because the quality of the experience is part of what you're measuring.

At Workweek, we're building a new operating mode for product, design, and engineering teams: outcome-focused, end-to-end ownership, with AI tooling and a team of specialists behind each Builder on the team. You'll own experiments from hypothesis to results — designing, building, shipping, and measuring — across our suite of Professional Networks and the Partner Platform, without waiting on five handoffs to move.

You'll report to our Director of Product and have access to our engineering, design, and data specialists when you need them. Our design system, experiment architecture, and shared guardrails are built and will continue evolving so you can run, not ramp.

What You Might Work On

The problems are real and the surface area is wide. Depending on where you focus, you might be running experiments to improve week 2 retention on our Professional Networks, where we know engagement in the first 14 days is the single biggest driver of whether a member sticks around. You might be working on onboarding flows that help new members understand the community and find their footing faster. You might be building features that increase the quantity and quality of member contributed content, since we know content activity drives social connection and social connection drives retention. On the Partner Platform side, you might be improving how advertisers and partners plan, execute, and measure campaigns so we can grow NRR and expand what the platform can do.

The through line across all of it: we know which behaviors move which metrics. Your job is to run the experiments that move them.

What You'll Do

• Form a hypothesis tied to a real product metric and a business outcome you can articulate
• Design the experiment using our shared design system — not from scratch every time
• Build and ship the feature or test, leveraging AI tooling within our stack to close the gap between what you can design and what you can execute all the way through
• QA your own work before it ships
• Read your results, share clear takeaways, and propose what's next
• Work across surfaces — our professional communities (HR, Healthcare, Marketing, Ecomm, Fintech) and our B2B Partner Platform — and bring the same outcome-orientated approach to both
• Contribute to the shared context and guardrails that make the whole team faster, not just your own work
• Be a part of a team that thrives on collaboration and celebrates autonomy in the building process

Qualifications

• 3–4+ years in product design, with work that shows you think about outcomes, not just interfaces
• High craft: you care about typography, feel, and fidelity, and it shows in what you ship
• You've shipped something beyond Figma. This can be a side project, a small PR, a prototype in production, and you can talk about what you learned from it
• Comfortable in ambiguity. You don't need a fully fleshed spec or a handed-down PRD to start moving
• AI-leveraged, or actively building toward actually integrating these tools into how you work
• High agency. You ask for feedback, not permission
• You want to be a “Super IC” — someone who enjoys dabbling in more than one function, but you're honest about where you still need support
• Bonus: Prior experience or genuine interest in social networks, professional networks, media, and/or advertising

Benefits

• Competitive pay (we don't pay based on location, we assign value to the role)
• Equity in Workweek
• Remote operations with the ability to work in the time zone of your choice (or work IRL in our Austin, TX office)
• Unlimited PTO with a minimum of 3 days/quarter used
• 100% health insurance coverage, 75% coverage for dependents, and $150/month towards an HSA (or $150/month health stipend if insurance not used)
• 120 days of parental leave to use within one year of childbirth (available 12 months after your start date and only available every 365 days)
• 401(k) plan with 3.5% company match
• $500 one-time stipend for any home office needs used after the first 90 days
• 5-week sabbatical after 4 years on staff
• 2 volunteering days per year
• 1x/year in-person team retreat
• $100/month book stipend
