Senior Product Designer

Who you are

• If you love books, care about the details that make a paywall feel like an invitation, and get a little thrill when a test result lands, you’ll have a lot of fun here
• You have 5+ years of product design experience, with real time spent on growth, monetization, or subscription products
• Your visual craft stands out, your interaction design is just as solid, and you know how to get to great quickly
• You’ve shipped experiments that moved conversion, activation, retention, and/or revenue, and you know why they worked
• You think in journeys, not screens, and you help define the path forward when it isn’t clear
• You use AI daily to explore, prototype, and understand, build workflows others can reuse, and hold its output to the same bar as your own work
• You love reading, and you have opinions about how and why people discover, share, and stick with books
• You ground decisions in data, research, and customer insight, and can make the case for them with both evidence and taste
• Bonus: motion design, consumer subscription apps, mobile, or community and social products

What the job involves

• We’re hiring a Senior Product Designer to drive growth across Everand and Fable
• Everand and Fable are the heart of Scribd’s Premium business, reaching more than 1.4 million readers every month. Nobody’s cracked what reading looks like when your library and your book club live in the same place. That’s the opportunity, and you’d help define it
• Growth here means turning a curious reader into an engaged member of the community, a free user into a long-term subscriber, and a casual subscriber into someone who can’t imagine reading without us
• You’ll design the experiences across that journey, working closely with Product, Research, Engineering, Data, and Marketing to spot opportunities, run experiments, and ship work that moves real numbers
• Design has a real voice here. At this level, you’ll have the opportunity to lead vision and strategy across growth and lifecycle, and the people who thrive are the ones who take the reins and advocate for their POV
• You’ll report to our Director of Product Design and work alongside 6 Premium product and brand designers
• Own the moments that turn readers into subscribers across app, web, and email across onboarding, plans and pricing, referrals, and lifecycle
• Find natural ways to connect Fable’s community with Everand’s library
• Bring your own ideas for what to test, and partner with your PM to scope experiments and set success metrics
• Earn subscribers. No dark patterns, no tricks
• Take work from rough concept to production-ready without letting the details slip
• Bring a strong visual voice to two distinct brands, and define new patterns when our systems fall short
• Prototype early, in code when it’s the right tool. Use AI to explore more directions before narrowing, and validate them through usability testing before they ship
• Dig into results, spot where the journey is falling short, and bring a POV on what to try next
• Ground your decisions in research, competitive insight, and what customers actually do
• Share work early and often, and help the designers around you sharpen theirs
