• We don’t expect you to have that right away (although that’d be a huge advantage), but you do need to have the skills to design for mental health
• That could be a minor in psychology, working as a clinical intern, or designing mental-health-related side projects… you make the case for yourself
• You know how to ask the right questions, ideate solutions, validate solutions, and design it into life
• You’re a strategist first, and design is merely your toolkit
• YOU LOVE A GOOD START-UP ENVIRONMENT 🥷

Responsibilities

Role

Our AI-powered OCD therapy app has been live for several months now and we've have a goldmine of user feedback & feature requests. We know what the problems are, but need a product designer-strategist to design, validate, and iterate on solutions. Sounds like a lot of responsibility? It is, but you get to have the kind of impact you’ve always been dreaming of 😉.

Qualifications

• PAST EXPERIENCE IN MENTAL/BEHAVIORAL HEALTH 🧠 . OCD treatment is incredibly complex - most “OCD” therapists don’t even know how it works. You’ll need to understand how this debilitating disorder works and is treated. We don’t expect you to have that right away (although that’d be a huge advantage), but you do need to have the skills to design for mental health. That could be a minor in psychology, working as a clinical intern, or designing mental-health-related side projects… you make the case for yourself.

• YOU ARE BOTH A PRODUCT DESIGNER AND STRATEGIST📱. If the founder tells you "we're seeing users struggle with consistency in their exposure exercises”, that's your cue to start. You know how to ask the right questions, ideate solutions, validate solutions, and design it into life. You’re a strategist first, and design is merely your toolkit.

• YOU LOVE A GOOD START-UP ENVIRONMENT 🥷. Can you design MVPs on a quick deadline? Can you reduce flows into the bare minimum, so we can ship ASAP? If you’re used to detailed briefs & approval cycles… you’ll hate it here. But, if you’re up for the challenge, you’ll learn an incredible amount and literally OWN a product that changes the lives of millions.

Compensation

• If compensation is why you’re still reading, I’ll reiterate: you’ll find better paying design jobs elsewhere. Sorry, but bootstrapping = tight budget.

• $25-$55/hr (depends on qualifications). Open to equity down the line, but this should not be your primary motivation.

• This will start as a part-time contractor role (10-20hrs/week), with opportunity for full-time if we’re a good fit.
