At Angel, we're building a home for stories that amplify light. Our Product Design team creates experiences that help people discover these stories, connect with our mission, and become part of the Angel community.
As a Senior Product Designer focused on Special Projects, you'll work directly with our EVP of Experience to explore new ideas, develop innovative concepts, and validate business opportunities that could become new products, initiatives, or teams at Angel. Unlike traditional product design roles focused on established experiences, you'll operate in an environment where ideas are just beginning to take shape, helping determine which opportunities are worth pursuing.
We're looking for a designer who combines strong product design skills, entrepreneurial thinking, and a passion for using AI to bring ideas to life. You'll use AI-powered tools to accelerate research, ideation, and prototyping, building working experiences that help us test assumptions and validate ideas quickly. You don't need to be an engineer, but you should be comfortable working with AI coding tools to turn concepts into functional prototypes that can be placed in front of real users.
At Angel, our Senior Product Designers take ownership of their work and the outcomes it creates. You'll thrive here if you're naturally curious, love solving complex problems, embrace ambiguity, and aren't afraid to challenge assumptions or explore unconventional solutions. Most importantly, you'll have the opportunity to help shape Angel's future by turning promising ideas into meaningful opportunities for our business and the audiences we serve.
What You'll Do
- Partner directly with the EVP of Experience to identify, explore, and develop new product concepts, business opportunities, and experiences that support Angel's mission and long-term vision.
- Take early-stage ideas from initial exploration through functional prototypes, user validation, and business case development, helping determine which opportunities are worth pursuing.
- Proactively identify and champion new opportunities by understanding customer needs, emerging technologies, market trends, and potential gaps within Angel's existing experiences.
- Use AI tools throughout your workflow, from research and ideation to prototyping and validation, building working experiences with tools such as Claude Code or Cursor to accelerate learning and experimentation.
- Rapidly design, prototype, and test multiple concepts, balancing speed and design quality while challenging assumptions and refining solutions based on what you learn.
- Regularly connect with users, either directly or in partnership with Research, to understand their needs, validate assumptions, and gather feedback that informs the direction of new concepts.
- Work closely with the EVP of Experience and cross-functional partners to develop business cases that evaluate customer value, business potential, technical feasibility, and the resources required to bring an idea to market.
- Help define clear hypotheses, success metrics, and experiments that determine whether a new concept should move forward, evolve, or be reconsidered.
- Clearly communicate concepts, prototypes, research findings, and recommendations to stakeholders, building confidence and alignment around promising opportunities.
- Collaborate with Product, Engineering, Research, Marketing, and other teams to understand constraints, uncover opportunities, and evaluate potential paths to execution.
- Own the design quality of new concepts, ensuring prototypes demonstrate thoughtful interaction design, visual design, usability, and alignment with Angel's brand and user experience standards.
- Help transition validated concepts into actionable initiatives, providing the design direction, insights, and documentation needed for existing or newly formed teams to take ownership.
