- Familiarity with web and mobile design constraints, including responsive design and accessibility best practices
- Your communication style is proactive and clear, ensuring no details slip through the cracks. Whether it’s flagging potential issues or keeping the team updated, your responsiveness keeps projects moving swiftly
- Deadlines are sacred to you. You deliver, consistently, without sacrificing the quality or integrity of your work. Dependability isn’t just a trait; it’s your trademark, making you an invaluable asset to our mission
- You have worked with engineering and product teams before, and you have a full understanding of the product life cycle
- You’re eager to push processes forward to complete your tasks. You know exactly how to communicate efficiently with all stakeholders, whether it’s design, backend, or even customers
- You are extremely detail-oriented, obsessing over every single pixel. You are able to put the user experience above everything else, including your own ego
- You enjoy identifying and solving bottlenecks, and you are able to provide scalable, long-term value in all aspects of your work

What the job involves
- This role is for a Senior Product Designer focused on our core product
- You will report to the CPO
- As a Senior Product Designer, you are responsible for creating high-quality, well-organized, scalable designs
- You will work closely with our Product, Growth, and Engineering teams to design a product with intuitive user flows and sleek designs, focusing mainly on our core product
- Though we plan on growing our design team to 7 by the end of 2024, you will be joining our team as our fourth designer
- This means you will have to be incredibly organized in your documentation of all designs and processes so that anyone new joining our team can quickly get up to speed
- Your designs must not only be intuitive and visually appealing for our user base, but they must also be clear and easily understood by our engineering team
- You will develop ideas and drive product initiatives by not only designing new features, but also by constantly updating and improving existing features, user flows, and high-fidelity mockups to create a seamless user experience, and full flow
- You will be building new concepts and quickly iterating to bring them to life
- As you create, and iterate on, new components for our creator dashboard and marketplace, you must still funnel everything back to Whop’s visual brand and its original components
- Your first 90 days will look like the following:
- Within 30 days, you will understand our product, our design system, and initiate design work on 2 new features, ensuring they align with Whop's visual brand and components
- Within 60 days, you will progress to designing new product offerings that we have in our backlog to better improve our creators/customers experiences
- Within 90 days, you should achieve mastery of our design system, successfully design multiple products that are informed by user research and stakeholder feedback, identify and resolve design bottlenecks, maintain proactive and clear communication, consistently meet deadlines without compromising quality, and collaborate effectively with engineering and product teams
Our take
Navigating disparate marketplaces and leveraging guerrilla-style selling tactics on social media platforms such as Facebook can pose challenges for those aiming to sell communities and digital products. Whop steps in as a marketplace website and platform designed to streamline this process, aiding influencers, communities, and software sellers in reaching millions of eager customers seeking connection, education, and product acquisition.
Focusing on digital economies like online gambling, crypto trading, and gaming, Whop offers a marketplace for buyers with diverse subscription levels to access Discord, chatrooms, and apps. These avenues not only offer income opportunities for buyers but also serve as fertile ground for entrepreneurs seeking to tap into a vast customer base numbering in the millions.
While Whop's niche may not appeal to everyone in the manner of mainstream eCommerce platforms like Etsy, its robust customer base signals a growing trend of entrepreneurs seeking to monetize their online presence. The platform's social features mirror the culture and camaraderie prevalent in blockchain and crypto trading communities, indicating a sustained relevance and growing trajectory - backed by significant funding - in the foreseeable future.
