About This Role

Strava is the leading subscription platform at the center of connected fitness, with more than 100 million community members in over 190 countries. The platform offers a holistic view of your active lifestyle, no matter where you live, which sport you love, and/or what device you use. Everyone belongs on Strava when they are pursuing an active life.

Strava is looking for an experienced and passionate digital product designer who wants to help us with our mission of motivating the world to be more active. Come be a part of a team of designers who create beautiful and inspiring experiences that help athletes connect, train, and stay motivated.

Strava is a subscription-based, consumer-facing business, so this role requires empathy with Strava’s community to fuel their long-term happiness as well as our long-term business impact. A Senior Product Designer here is involved in driving every aspect of the product design processes as part of a cross-functional team, from discovery and defining strategy to iteration and validating solutions to finalizing visual fit and finish.

The Home (Feed and Search) team at Strava is responsible for one of the highest-trafficked surfaces on the platform. In this role, you’ll be responsible for identifying opportunities to improve how athletes discover and engage with their network, how they find something new and unexpected, and when to pivot them to other surfaces. You’ll contribute to the success of home by creating experiences that are visually appealing, easy to interact with, and predictable in terms of content mix.
