About the Role

As a Senior Product Designer focused on Growth, you’ll lead design across the user journey — from first impression to long-term engagement — driving outcomes like acquisition, activation, and retention. While growth will be your primary focus, you’ll also bring a full-stack mindset, contributing to strategic, cross-functional product work, navigating ambiguity, and delivering polished, creator-focused experiences alongside product, engineering, data, and research.

• Collaborate with cross-functional partners in product, engineering, marketing, and data to shape strategy and drive measurable outcomes.
• Design with intent, using insights, experimentation, and user feedback to improve how people discover VSCO, start creating, and stay engaged.

• Experience working closely with data and experimentation — using both quantitative and qualitative insights to inform decisions.
• A clear point of view on growth design, and a toolkit of patterns, principles, and product thinking to support it.
• Strong interaction and visual design skills, with fluency in Figma, prototyping, and working within a design system.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills — you know how to influence, align, and lead through ambiguity in a remote environment
• You are adaptable and have a bias for action; while we aim for excellence, we also embrace iteration
• Experience designing for iOS apps as well as responsive web across desktop and mobile
