At Superhuman, we have a deep understanding of how to build products that people love. We incorporate fun and play, infusing magic and joy to create experiences that amaze and delight. It all starts with the right team — a team that deeply cares about values, customers, and each other.

We're not solving a small problem, nor are we addressing a small market. We're reshaping the fundamentals of how people work. We're combining premium product craft with enterprise-scale capabilities to rethink how individuals and teams should fundamentally collaborate.

You’ll lead design for Superhuman Mail’s growth efforts, shaping onboarding, in-product activation, and purchase experiences for customers across our suite of collaborative products. You’ll empower users to become more efficient and successful with AI-powered email and scheduling workflows, while building upon the speed, polish, and delight that Superhuman is known for. Your work will focus on making a power-user email experience simpler to understand and adopt, through exceptional visual and interaction design.

This is a staff-level role for a designer who deeply understands growth design strategy, and thinks of growth as a mutually beneficial endeavor—helping customers and the business work better together. You’ll join brilliant teammates across product, marketing, research, engineering, and analytics to craft impactful early-lifecycle experiments and product improvements.

In this role, you will:

• Define and shape experiments that help users reach clear "aha" moments, from early sketches and hypotheses through interactive prototypes and high-fidelity designs.

• Influence product strategy: Partner deeply with PMs and engineers to shape product direction, tradeoffs, and sequencing in a fast-evolving landscape.

• Balance business goals and user needs in your designs. Collaborate on identifying key growth opportunities and contribute to shaping a cohesive, customer-centric roadmap with your team.

• Leverage research insights to guide users toward feature discovery, habit formation, and early value, increasing meaningful adoption across products.

• Stay ahead of industry trends, ask critical questions, and go beyond the functional to meet users where they are emotionally.

• Elevate the team’s design culture by pursuing remarkable quality in your design craft and producing consistent, high-quality work that drives measurable business impact.

• Prototype, test, and iterate rapidly: Use prototypes to explore, validate assumptions, and learn what truly helps users manage email and stay productive on the go.

• Explore and evolve your ways of working and design process with access to cutting-edge AI tools and workflows.

• Be part of a supportive team: Work alongside a collaborative group of designers who give thoughtful feedback, share ideas openly, and help each other grow.

• 5+ years of relevant experience spanning Product Design and Growth Design, with 3+ years focused on growth, onboarding, monetization/subscription, or activation experiences.

• Comfort designing for complex systems. You have a proven ability to design clear, scalable, and delightful user experiences that simplify complex workflows.

• Strengths in design craft and execution. You have demonstrated mastery of design fundamentals, encompassing prototyping, visual and interaction design, typography, layout, and visual hierarchy. You know how to sweat the details to build a premium experience for users.

• Experience and curiosity in building AI-powered products, including designing for trust, speed, and user control.

• Strong collaboration with a bias to action. You’re excited by the opportunity to create clarity when the direction is ambiguous.

• Exceptional storytelling and influence. You translate ambiguous problems into compelling vision that moves senior leadership and aligns cross-functional teams — and you can navigate a group to a decision when consensus is elusive.

• Location: We're open to you joining us in our San Francisco, Seattle, or New York offices, or from a home office anywhere in the United States or Canada.
