About the role

You’ll own the end-to-end design for Primer’s experiences across web, mobile, and physical spaces for families, students, educators, and operators, from onboarding to campus signage and environments.

Responsibilities

  • Lead design projects from initial concept through high-fidelity design and launch.
  • Run user research with students, families, and teachers, and turn what you learn into interfaces, systems, and environments.
  • Move fluidly between visual design, interaction design, and systems thinking depending on what the product needs.
  • Refine copy, tone, and visual detail so every screen feels cohesive and intentional.
  • Contribute to and help shape the Mondrian design system.
  • Design beyond the screen: campus signage, interior spaces and marketing assets
  • Help set Primer's design standards and raise the ceiling of the team as it grows.

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of experience as Product Designer
  • An exceptionally polished portfolio
  • A track record of owning projects end-to-end, from concept through launch.
  • A strong sense of language and consistency
  • Comfort balancing insight with intuition. You can commit to a direction without waiting for formal research to hand you the answer.
  • Strength bringing clarity to big, ambiguous problem spaces
  • Comfortable presenting to executives, board members, investors and non-tech stakeholders
  • Experience using AI tools to prototype and convey designs is a plus
  • High EQ. You work well with people who aren't designers, take feedback in a room full of them, and can read what students, families, and teachers actually need.
  • Genuine excitement about Primer's mission
  • This is a full-time, in-person role based in San Francisco, as we believe our best work happens when we’re together.
