Job description

Workweek is revolutionizing how business leaders connect, learn, and operate by integrating distinct personalities, unparalleled expertise, and a vibrant community into a one-of-a-kind professional networking platform.

Our Approach

At Workweek, we build brands and audiences in specialized B2B sectors by providing expert content crafted by industry practitioners who have actually done the job. Once credibility and a sizable audience are established through our unique content, we further support these sectors by offering exclusive professional memberships. These memberships provide category-leading value, enabling leaders to connect with peers, access a comprehensive library of educational content, and utilize tools and services that streamline daily operations.

About the role

Workweek is building the trusted professional networking platform — reimagining how experts and operators connect, learn, and grow. We’re looking for a Founding UI/UX Designer to lead the charge in defining, enhancing, and building on our existing product foundation.

This is an opportunity to build on a strong foundation with real traction, a fast-moving team, and a clear lane to design leadership.

What you'll do

• Own end-to-end product design for two platforms: Workweek’s Professional Networking Platform and Ad Platform, from UX flows and wireframes to high-fidelity mockups and prototypes in Figma.
• Collaborate deeply with product and engineering to ship features that are simple, elegant, and loved by end users: community members and brand partner clients.
• Shape and evolve our design system as the product matures.
• Translate community, brand partner, and operator needs/behavior into intuitive UX patterns..
• Lead discovery and validation through rapid prototyping, usability testing, and user interviews.
• Help define our product's look, feel, and personality across platforms (web + mobile).

Qualifications

• 3–6+ years of experience designing digital products.
• Strong UX fundamentals — you think in user journeys, not just screens.
• Fluent in Figma, prototyping tools, and building reusable systems.
• Experience designing for social platforms, community products, or consumer applications (e.g., gaming, mobile apps, feeds, DMs).
• Ability to work autonomously and thrive in ambiguity, you’re not waiting for tickets, you’re leading the design process.
• Strong communicator and collaborator. You make everyone around you better.
• Excitement about growing into a design leadership role as the team scales.
• Comfort collaborating with product leaders and developers.

Bonus Points

• You’ve worked as a lead designer for a gaming or social networking organization.
• You enjoy diving into and understand metrics like engagement, activation, retention and how design influences them.
• Motion design, branding, or frontend skills are a plus, not required.
• Competitive pay (we don't pay based on location, we assign value to the role)
• Equity in Workweek
• Remote operations with the ability to work in the time zone of your choice (or work IRL in our Austin, TX office)
• Unlimited PTO with a minimum of 3 days/quarter used
• 100% health insurance coverage, 75% coverage for dependents, and $150/month towards an HSA (or $150/month health stipend if insurance not used)
• 120 days of parental leave to use within one year of childbirth (available 12 months after your start date and only available every 365 days)
• 401(k) plan with 3.5% company match
• $500 one-time stipend for any home office needs used after the first 90 days
• 5-week sabbatical after 4 years on staff
• 2 volunteering days per year
• 1x/year in-person team retreat
• $100/month book stipend

Note: At Workweek, we’re passionate about building a diverse team. We care deeply about diversity, equality, and inclusion and strive to build a culture where everyone, from any background, feels included, supported, and free to be themselves.
