Role overview
beehiiv is the all-in-one newsletter and creator platform powering the next generation of media companies and independent voices, now serving tens of thousands of publishers and reaching hundreds of millions of readers monthly. With $30M+ ARR, 100% YoY growth, and a newly expanded product suite (ad network, website builder, paid tiers), the company is entering its next phase of hypergrowth. As our Senior Product Designer (Growth), you will own design across the surfaces that shape how users onboard, activate, convert, expand, and retain — starting with the early onboarding journeys. You'll translate ambiguous, qualitative problems and quantitative insights into clear design hypotheses, ship them fast, and iterate based on data. You'll work closely with Product, Growth, and Engineering, and alongside the two product designers who own the core platform experience.
Responsibilities
- Own end-to-end design across onboarding, activation, upsells, expansion & churn — the surfaces most directly tied to conversion and retention
- Partner with Product and Growth to turn user research, support signals, and product data into design hypotheses, then design and ship experiments to test them
- Redesign high-friction moments in the funnel (e.g. the in-app downgrade flow, trial-to-paid conversion, first-time activation) with a clear focus on reducing churn and improving conversion
- Work closely with senior product designers to stay consistent with beehiiv's core design language while pushing a distinctly growth-oriented, test-and-learn approach in your areas
- Collaborate directly with engineering to scope design lift accurately and ship iteratively rather than waiting for 'perfect'
- Present your thinking, rationale, and trade-offs to the product and leadership team, and incorporate feedback quickly
Requirements
- 5+ years of experience as a product designer, ideally with meaningful time spent on growth, activation, lifecycle, or monetization surfaces (not just core product/feature design)
- A track record of designing for experimentation — comfortable scoping A/B tests, phased rollouts, and iterating quickly based on quantitative results, not just qualitative feedback
- Ability to take a vague, high-stakes problem (reducing churn, clarifying a downgrade flow, improving activation) and turn it into a crisp, testable design point of view
- Excellent communication, listening, and writing skills — you can clearly explain design rationale and trade-offs to cross-functional stakeholders, including leadership
- Ability to read and analyze data, and use that to come up with hypotheses and inform your design decisions
- Strong organizational skills: able to work independently with little direction when necessary
- Genuine excitement about scaling a nascent platform
- An ownership mentality
Nice to have
- Prior experience in the newsletter/media/publishing/SaaS industry is a plus
Benefits
- Competitive salary
- Stock Options
- Health, Dental, and Vision Insurance
- 401(k) employer match
- Unlimited PTO (mandatory 10 days per year minimum)
- Annual in-person team offsite
- Unlimited book budget
- Monthly Wellness Days (every third Friday of the month)
Additional details
- Join a fast-growing startup and help define a brand-new growth design practice from scratch
- High impact and high visibility — your work shapes the first (and often last) impressions of every beehiiv user
- You're autonomous and excited about owning projects end to end, from problem framing through shipped experiments
- Excited about new challenges and executing creative solutions in an ambiguous, fast-moving surface area
- Not a traditional 9-to-5 position
- Need to manage multiple priorities and stakeholders
- Must be comfortable with rapid iteration and frequent context switching
- High expectations for both speed and quality
- Must navigate complex organizational dynamics
- There's no room for B players — the best makes everyone better
- Maniacal sense of urgency — speed is our superpower
- Say what you think with positive intent — disagree openly and give hard feedback directly, with the intent to help someone improve
- User-obsessed — every decision starts with one question: how does this add value for the user?
- Ego comes second, winning comes first — we're here to create the best outcome; the team comes before the individual
- Compensation is dependent on experience, skills, and location
