About the Role

As a Lead Product Designer at Mangomint, you will act as a senior design partner to Product and Engineering, co-owning complex initiatives from early discovery through delivery and iteration. This role operates with a high level of autonomy and is accountable for shaping product direction, defining problems, and making meaningful experience and product decisions in close partnership with engineers and product managers.

This is not purely a production role. We are looking for a senior design leader who brings strong product judgment, big-picture and systems thinking, and exceptional attention to detail. You will be responsible for both the long-term experience vision and the day-to-day excellence of UI, interactions, as well as in-product language.

You will also play a critical role in building and evolving Mangomint’s design system and ensuring our product remains consistent, scalable, and high-quality.

In this role you will:

• Contribute to product strategy, priorities, and scope through design and user experience perspective
• Act as a senior design partner in product decision-making, balancing user needs, business goals, and technical constraints
• Independently identify, frame, and validate problems in ambiguous or loosely defined spaces
• Design and deliver high-fidelity UI design and visual craft, with expertise in layout, hierarchy, spacing, typography, and accessibility considerations
• Write and refine UI/UX copy and microcopy to improve clarity, usability, trust, and product-led growth outcomes
• Own and evolve Mangomint’s design system, including components, patterns, documentation, and governance in close partnership with engineering
• Participate in and help facilitate design reviews and cross-functional discussions, clearly communicating rationale and tradeoffs
• Maintain exceptional attention to detail across interactions, visual polish, UI states, edge cases, and production readiness
• Proactively identify experience gaps, usability issues, and new product opportunities and bring forward recommendations
• Information architecture and content structure for complex products

• Rapid prototyping (Figma prototypes and/or interactive prototypes for concept validation)

   

What We’re Looking For

• Extensive experience with Figma and a strong portfolio showcasing relevant skills and experience
• Expertise in product design, UI, and UX, with deep knowledge of design principles
• Ego-free with a positive, adaptable, and flexible attitude
• Strong time management, communication skills, and openness to feedback
• Front-end literacy (HTML/CSS concepts, responsive behavior, and component-based development) to effectively collaborate with engineering
• Empathy and ability to understand on user’s needs and emotions
• A love for all things design and drive to make an impact
• Desire to stay up to date with ever changing design trends, tools, and technologies

What You'll Love About Mangomint

• Competitive compensation
• Employee stock options
• Comprehensive health coverage (health, dental, vision, life & disability)
• Generous monthly wellness budget (gym, massage, etc.)
• Premium Calm app & One Medical membership
• Flexible, unlimited PTO
• 401k, HSA and FSA plans available (no current match)
