Own the full design process from understanding ambiguous product problems to designing and shipping solutions, without needing someone to frame the brief for you
Partner directly with the co-founder on product direction, priorities, and design philosophy. Bring your point of view, and defend it
Work in a fast, data-led environment: ship features, measure impact, iterate; use Mixpanel and product analytics fluently
Drive consumer experience design: onboarding, social features, viral loops, and retention, work that reaches hundreds of thousands of students from day one

Senior-level product thinking. You've owned complex design problems end to end, from "what are we solving and why?" through to a shipped solution. You don't wait to be told what the problem is
Consumer product background. You've designed for B2C audiences at scale, and you understand growth, retention, and onboarding.
Comfort with ambiguity and speed. You come alive when you're figuring things out, rather than executing a roadmap someone else already defined.
A/B testing mindset. You've worked in growth-oriented environments, and you design for experimentation. Every ship is a way to learn what's actually true.
Craft and taste. Your design sense is a given. What matters is the thinking behind it.

Direct impact at scale. Your designs reach 1.5M+ students. A new feature ships to hundreds of thousands of people. Fast feedback loops, real stakes.
Ownership from day one. You'd work directly with the co-founder. What you design gets built.
Equity. SimpleStudy is generous with stock options, and you're joining early enough for it to mean something.
Remote Europe. Work from where you choose, with team offsites three times a year.
Investors who've done it before. First investors of Facebook and Revolut, plus board members of Stripe and Intercom.
