Founding Product Designer | SimpleStudy

<h2>About SimpleStudy</h2><p style="min-height:1.5em">SimpleStudy is building the exam prep experience students actually want to use. The numbers back it up: 1.5M+ students across the UK, Ireland, Brazil, South Africa, and Australia, growing by ~40k to 50k new users every week. The product runs on web, mobile, and desktop, and the team ships fast, with heavy A/B testing and product-led growth built in.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em">SimpleStudy is post-seed, backed by the first investors of Facebook and Revolut, and board members of Stripe and Intercom. The team is ~30 people, based mostly in Lisbon. Lean, product-obsessed, and deliberately not your typical edtech company.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em">They're now hiring the first founding designer to work directly with the co-founder on what comes next and develop the app as the best next generation of the consumer experience.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em"></p><h2>Your impact</h2><ul style="min-height:1.5em"><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Own the full design process from understanding ambiguous product problems to designing and shipping solutions, without needing someone to frame the brief for you</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Partner directly with the co-founder on product direction, priorities, and design philosophy.

You don't wait to be told what the problem is</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>Consumer product background.</strong> You've designed for B2C audiences at scale, and you understand growth, retention, and onboarding. The kind of products people find for themselves, rather than ones sold to companies</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>Comfort with ambiguity and speed.</strong> You come alive when you're figuring things out, rather than executing a roadmap someone else already defined</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>A/B testing mindset.</strong> You've worked in growth-oriented environments, and you design for experimentation. Every ship is a way to learn what's actually true</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>Craft and taste.</strong> Your design sense is a given.
