ABOUT US:

Braintrust (usebraintrust.com) is a user-controlled talent network, where you keep 100% of what you earn and actually get to own the platform. We've been onboarding some big clients and specifically need a Head of Product Design for our client.  

ABOUT OUR CLIENT:  

Our client is a next-gen community platform for consumer brands. We believe the standard playbook for loyalty and retention is long-outdated and are passionate about empowering brands and their most loyal fans to engage in deeper, more meaningful ways. 

The core of our thesis is that building with community leads to meaningfully better products and experiences for customers and thus more valuable, enduring brands. We call this new model “community-integrated-commerce” and will be leading by example by launching our own consumer products using the platform we build.

You will be our first full-time product design hire and work directly with the founding team, engineering, creative, and brand operations to help shape our product vision and strategy and bring it to life through an innovative, elevated user experience across web and mobile. Our ideal candidate is skilled across the disciplines of product design and has built consumer-facing applications across web and mobile.

•  5-7+ years of experience setting and leading design direction for consumer-facing products. 
• Excellence in UX thinking, visual design, and cross-functional communication. 
• A strong eye for aesthetics, layout, information architecture, typography and iconography. 
• Entrepreneurial mindset excited by the opportunity to build something new from an early stage. 
• High-horsepower, team-first mentality to achieving product excellence. 
• Proficiency in Figma and other design tools

Nice to Have

Deliverables

OUR IDEAL CANDIDATE

We are looking for someone with a builder mentality that works well with cross-functional partners and holds themselves to the highest standard of excellence in product. This person is an experimental, bold, problem-solver that feels comfortable approaching complex problems with straightforward solutions. 

ABOUT THE HIRING PROCESS:

Qualified candidates will be invited to do a screening interview with the Braintrust staff. We will answer your questions about the project, and our platform.  If we determine it is the right fit for both parties, we'll invite you to join the platform and create a profile to apply directly for this project.  

C2C Candidates: This role is not available to C2C candidates working with an agency. If you are a professional contractor who has created an LLC/corp around their consulting practice, this is well aligned with Braintrust and we’d welcome your application.
