Design Lead - Whop

About Whop:

Whop is building the social commerce infrastructure for the world. We believe in a future where all businesses are communities that directly engage their customers. 

We believe the best products in the universe are made by builders, not corporations. We're looking for a Product Designer who shares our passion for design that’s clean, bold, and creator-first — and who thrives in a fast-moving, zero-to-one environment.

About you:

We’re seeking a Design Lead to guide vision, quality, and execution of product design. This is a hybrid role for someone who’s eager to lead by doing — balancing hands-on design work with mentorship and strategic thinking. You’ll be responsible for setting a high bar for craft, scaling design systems, and ensuring cohesive, user-centered experiences across the product.

You are a person who craves impact. You want to leave a (big) dent on the world. You have a really high bar for what constitutes a great product and user experience. are generally disappointed in the bar held by most people everyday. You drive towards simplicity and expect others to do the same.

What does the role look like?

What You’ll Do:

• Own the end-to-end design of critical product initiatives — from discovery to launch
  
  
• Lead design reviews and provide constructive feedback to elevate team output
  
  
• Collaborate cross-functionally with Product, Engineering, and Marketing teams to shape roadmap and priorities
  
  
• Champion design thinking and user advocacy across the company
  
  
• Maintain and evolve the design system to drive consistency and efficiency
  
  
• Mentor and support junior and mid-level designers
  
  
• Help define and uphold processes for delivering great design at scale
  
  

What We’re Looking For:

• 5–8+ years of experience in product design, with at least 1–2 years in a lead or senior IC role
  
  
• Experience with social features and across web and mobile
  
  
• A strong portfolio showcasing UX and visual design work, including projects you’ve led
  
  
• Proven ability to ship high-quality designs in fast-paced environments
  
  
• Experience giving and receiving feedback, and elevating the work of others
  
  
• Deep understanding of product thinking, usability principles, and modern design tools (especially Figma)
  
  
• Excellent communication and storytelling skills — both in writing and in meetings
  
  

Nice to Have:

• Experience building or scaling a design team
