We’re looking for a Lead Product Designer to shape the future of focus.

At Opal, we help people take back control of their time — and their attention.

Our community (we call them Gems) has already saved over 200 million hours of screen time. Now, we’re looking for a Lead Product Designer to guide our design strategy and craft experiences that help millions live more intentional, focused lives.

This is a rare opportunity to lead design at a fast-growing, mission-driven company — and to work on a product recognized by the Apple Design Awards 2025 as a finalist in the Social Impact category. Winners and finalists in this category improve lives in a meaningful way and shine a light on crucial issues — and we’re proud to be among them.

What you’ll do

As our Lead Product Designer, you’ll own the end-to-end design process — from discovery to pixel-perfect execution.

You’ll shape the future of Opal’s product experience across platforms, leading design for our iOS app (where we’ve built a beloved experience), and playing a key role as we expand to Android and beyond. You’ll lead with curiosity, care, and clarity, designing tools that help people feel more present and in control.

Your responsibilities:

• Lead user research — Run workshops, conduct interviews, and uncover meaningful insights about our Gems

• Craft product vision — Define how design drives focus, engagement, and delight — now and into the future

• Design iconic experiences — Create wireframes, flows, prototypes, and high-fidelity UI across iOS, Android, and Mac

• Own execution — Collaborate closely with engineers to bring ideas to life with polish and precision

• Shape the system — Evolve Opal’s design system for consistency, scale, and speed

• Collaborate deeply — Partner with Ugo, Anton, and our cross-functional team to build what matters
  

What you bring

1. 6+ years of experience in product design, with a strong portfolio in consumer apps

2. Deep user research skills — You know how to turn user insights into elegant, actionable solutions

3. Expertise in Figma and familiarity with tools like Webflow, Amplitude, and motion design (a plus)

4. Cross-platform experience — You’ve designed for iOS, Android, and desktop, or are eager to stretch across them

5. Monetization experience — You’ve designed for mobile and Mac revenue models before

6. Entrepreneurial mindset — You’re proactive, adaptive, and eager to solve complex problems

7. Strong design fundamentals — Outstanding visual design, UX thinking, and attention to detail
