About the role

  • Lead Product Designer for Affinity, crafting growth experiences across dating apps like BLK and Chispa. Influence design direction while collaborating in a hybrid Dallas office setting.

Responsibilities

  • Own the design of key growth initiatives across activation, engagement, retention, and conversion. You will translate ambiguous product and user problems into intuitive, elegant experiences that measurably move metrics.
  • Drive the full design process from discovery and concepting to interaction design, visual design, and launch, partnering closely with Product Management, Engineering, Analytics, and User Research.
  • Contribute to product strategy by helping frame problems, generate hypotheses, and evaluate tradeoffs. You will bring a strong point of view on how design can unlock growth while balancing user trust, inclusivity, and brand integrity.
  • Design and support experiments with a bias toward learning. You will collaborate with PMs and analysts to define success metrics, evaluate results, and iterate quickly based on insights.
  • Raise the bar for design quality across the team by setting standards, providing thoughtful feedback, and advocating for user centered decision making. You will help ensure consistency and scalability across our portfolio of apps.
  • Support the growth of other designers through informal mentorship, design critiques, and collaboration. Interest in people management or prior experience managing designers is a plus as the team evolves.

Requirements

  • You have 6+ years of product design experience, ideally in consumer, mobile-first, or growth-focused products.
  • You’ve designed end-to-end product experiences and can show how your work drove measurable outcomes.
  • You’re comfortable working in ambiguity and enjoy turning complex problems into simple, user-friendly solutions.
  • You have strong interaction, visual, and systems-thinking skills, with a high bar for craft and usability.
  • You’re highly collaborative and communicate your ideas clearly with cross-functional partners.
  • You have experience mentoring designers or a strong interest in moving toward a people management role in the future.
  • Experience in social, dating, or community-driven products is a plus, but not required.

Benefits

  • Mind & Body – Medical, mental health, and wellness benefits to support your overall health and well-being
  • Financial Wellness – Competitive compensation, 100% employer match on 401k contributions up to 10% (cap at $10,000), as well as an employee stock purchase program to help you feel supported in your financial security
  • Unplug – Generous PTO and 14 paid holidays so you can unplug
  • Career – Annual training allowance for professional development and ERG membership opportunities and events so you feel connected and empowered in your work
