Lead Product Designer

About Fellow

Every company has the same problem: the most valuable conversations happen in meetings, and most of that knowledge disappears the moment the call ends. Fellow fixes that.

We are the AI meeting intelligence platform that records, transcribes, and summarizes meetings across Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, and Slack, turning conversations into searchable knowledge, automated workflows, and real follow-through. No bots in your meetings. Enterprise-grade security (SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA). 50+ native integrations. And we never train on your data. Teams at Shopify, HubSpot, Motive, and Wealthsimple trust Fellow every day.

Founded by the co-founders of Fluidware (acquired by SurveyMonkey), we have raised over $30M from world-class investors including Craft Ventures, iNovia, Felicis, Garage, and others. We are a lean and mighty team moving fast at the intersection of AI and collaboration.

About the Team

Design is a strategic advantage at Fellow. We believe the quality of our product experience is what sets us apart in a crowded market. Our design team works directly with engineering managers and company leadership to shape what gets built, rather than through a traditional PM layer. That means designers here have real ownership over product direction and the autonomy to move fast.

The Role

We are looking for a Lead Product Designer to own design direction across all of Fellow's product areas. This is a hands-on leadership role: you will do the work and set the standard, while also managing and mentoring two designers on the team. You will report directly to our co-founder and Head of Product.

What You Will Do

• Own end-to-end design across Fellow's product areas, including onboarding, the core meeting experience, Ask Fellow (our AI agent), integrations, and growth surfaces.
• Deliver strong visual design, interaction design, and motion design across web and desktop.
• Rapidly prototype new concepts using modern tools (Figma, code prototypes, AI-assisted design workflows) to validate ideas before committing engineering resources.
• Drive product-led growth thinking: obsess over signups, activation, retention, and the small UX details that compound into meaningful business outcomes.
• Collaborate directly with engineering managers and company leadership to shape product strategy.
• Manage and mentor two designers through feedback, design reviews, and by setting a high standard for craft.
• Build and maintain a cohesive design system that scales with the product.

Who You Are

• 7+ years of professional product design experience with clear career progression.
• An outstanding portfolio that demonstrates depth across visual design, UI/UX, interaction design, and motion/animation.
• Experience working on product-led growth surfaces: signups, onboarding, activation, and hands-on user engagement at scale.
• Startup experience and comfort working in fast-paced, ambiguous environments where you wear multiple hats.
• AI-native mindset: you are eager to continuously learn new tools, techniques, and ways of working. You use AI in your design workflow today, not as a novelty but as a multiplier.
• Experience managing or mentoring other designers.

Bonus Signals

• Experience designing for conversational AI, meeting software, or enterprise collaboration tools.
• A GitHub profile, side projects, or open-source contributions that show you push beyond traditional design boundaries.
• Familiarity with PLG metrics and experimentation frameworks.
