Job description

The Senior Product Designer (UX/UI) will be the senior design owner for [solidcore]'s client-facing digital experiences. This person will set a high bar for product design, visual craft, interaction design, prototyping, and usability across our mobile app, website, and emerging digital experiences.

This role requires a designer with strong consumer product instincts, excellent visual taste, and the ability to translate complex business rules into simple, intuitive, beautiful experiences that clients love and engineering teams can build efficiently.

The ideal candidate has experience designing mobile-first consumer apps, building or maturing design systems, creating high-fidelity prototypes, and partnering closely with Product, Engineering, Marketing, Lifecycle, CX, and Operations teams. They should bring a strong point of view, but also be collaborative, practical, and focused on shipping high-quality work.
Key Responsibilities:

Product Design & User Experience

  • Lead UX/UI design for [solidcore]'s mobile app, website, and client-facing digital experiences.

  • Design beautiful, intuitive, mobile-first experiences that improve client satisfaction, retention, conversion, utilization, and engagement.

  • Translate complex membership, booking, scheduling, payment, and personalization rules into simple, clear client experiences.

  • Build user flows, wireframes, high-fidelity designs, prototypes, and interaction models for new and existing product features.

  • Use client feedback, behavioral data, research, and business goals to inform design decisions.

  • Identify and solve design debt across the app and broader digital ecosystem.

Visual Craft & Design Systems

  • Establish and evolve [solidcore]'s digital product design system across mobile and web.

  • Create reusable components, UI patterns, and design standards that improve quality, consistency, accessibility, and development speed.

  • Partner with Engineering to ensure designs are implementation-ready and easy to translate into production.

  • Explore modern design-to-code workflows, AI-enabled design tools, and front-end collaboration practices that help accelerate delivery.

  • Maintain a high standard for visual design, interaction quality, accessibility, and usability.

Prototyping & Product Vision

  • Own high-fidelity prototypes for major product concepts, app improvements, and new digital experiences.

  • Bring a strong product and design point of view to help shape what [solidcore] should build next.

  • Create concepts that connect the studio experience to clients' lives outside the studio, including habit-building, progress, personalization, motivation, and community-oriented experiences.

  • Help the organization visualize future-state product opportunities before they are fully built.

  • Balance ambitious product vision with practical execution and delivery constraints.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Partner closely with Product and Engineering from discovery through implementation.

  • Collaborate with Marketing, Lifecycle, CX, Operations, and Studio teams to ensure digital experiences support business and client needs.

  • Clearly communicate design rationale, tradeoffs, and recommendations to technical and non-technical stakeholders.

  • Participate in product planning, prioritization, and testing discussions.

  • Help raise the overall product design standard across the organization.

Qualifications:

Required

  • 8+ years of UX/UI, product design, or interaction design experience.

  • Strong portfolio demonstrating exceptional mobile app design, visual craft, interaction design, and consumer product thinking.

  • Experience designing consumer-facing mobile apps, ideally products used frequently by large audiences.

  • Expert proficiency in Figma and modern design/prototyping tools.

  • Experience building, maintaining, or significantly improving a design system.

  • Strong understanding of iOS, Android, responsive web, accessibility, and modern product design standards.

  • Experience partnering closely with Product and Engineering to ship designs into production.

  • Ability to simplify complex workflows, business rules, and user journeys into clear, intuitive experiences.

  • Strong communication skills and ability to explain design decisions to cross-functional stakeholders.

Preferred

  • Experience designing products in fitness, wellness, hospitality, retail, marketplace, subscription, membership, or booking-based businesses.

  • Experience designing habit-forming, progress-tracking, personalization, recommendation, or community-oriented consumer experiences.

  • Experience with React Native product environments or design-to-code workflows.

  • Experience using AI-enabled design, prototyping, research, or front-end collaboration tools.

  • Experience designing across digital and physical touchpoints, such as in-studio, in-store, or in-venue experiences.

  • Passion for [solidcore]'s brand, workout, and client experience.
