Job summary

Neighbor, based in Lehi, Utah, seeks a design leader to own end-to-end product design for iOS, Android, and responsive web. You will mentor designers, shape product direction with PMs and engineers, and ensure renter insights influence decisions.

You’ll conduct interviews, usability tests, and funnel analyses, translating findings into actionable improvements. A strong portfolio and Figma expertise are essential.

Qualifications

• 2+ years of product design (UX/UI) with shipped work on native iOS, Android, and responsive web.
• A portfolio showing consumer flows you owned end to end and the results they drove.
• Excellent visual and interaction craft suited to a consumer marketplace.
• You plan and run your own interviews and usability tests.
• You read funnels and A/B results and use them to make design decisions.
• Expert in Figma, and you use AI tools regularly for research, exploration, and prototyping.
• A clear writer and presenter who can defend a decision to a co-founder or an engineer.
• You own outcomes, not just tasks, and you actively seek hard feedback and act on it.
• Able to work in our Lehi, Utah office Tuesday through Friday (remote work isn't an option for this role)

Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end design across iOS, Android, and responsive web, from problem framing through ship and measurement.
• Run renter and host research (interviews, usability tests, session and funnel reviews) and turn it into recommendations the team acts on.
• Study how competitors and adjacent marketplaces solve similar problems, and design to differentiate rather than imitate.
• Co-define success metrics with PM and Eng, design experiments, and iterate on what the data shows.
• Align early with wireframes and prototypes (including AI and code-assisted) so ideas get in front of users in days, not weeks.
• Design trust and clarity into every surface: pricing, photos, reviews, access details, and host and renter information.
• Cover the full journey: every state, edge case, and platform convention, so defects rarely reach production.
• Evolve the Neighbor design and brand system so every surface feels like one product.
• Mentor Neighbor's designers through critique, pairing, and hands-on feedback.
