You are a seasoned product designer who is passionate about fitness and sport. If you are excited to do the best work of your career, Strava is the place for you! This role will be assigned to the Groups, Creator, Social team, which focuses on community clubs, challenges, brand partnerships, and more. This role will focus primarily on our creator and group organizer experiences.
We believe that our athletes, small businesses, and community organizers are at the heart of building community on Strava. This role will focus on experiences related to creating a group or club, engagement tools (like polls, event registrations, prompts, tools to organize group runs / rides, etc.) as well as moderation tools to keep community members safe from harmful content (inviting or removing members, assigning co-admins, ability to removing content, etc.). This role will also focus on monetization opportunities for group organizers so that they can earn money via their community on Strava, as well as discovery experiences so organizers can grow their group membership and people can find their group or club. We are looking for a designer who has experience building community oriented products as well as experience with discovery and monetization efforts, including check out or payment experiences.
We are interested in speaking with you if you’re an experienced product designer dedicated to designing impactful, value-additive solutions for mobile and web. If you are the kind of designer who thrives in a collaborative environment and jumps at the opportunity to tackle new challenges, Strava is the place for you. Our products bring joy and inspiration to a diverse community around the world, and there is so much opportunity ahead for us!
