Product Designer

Who We Are

Playbook is the global marketplace for fitness, wellness, and athletic creators. We serve thousands of creators—from personal trainers and yoga instructors to runners and college athletes—including some of the biggest names in the industry like Nick Bare and Mackenzie Wells. We're a fast-moving, remote-first team backed by $17M from investors who built companies like CAA, Uber, Product Hunt, and Giphy.

About the Role

We’re hiring a Product Designer to work on the core systems that power content creator businesses on Playbook. This is not a brand, marketing, or internal-tools role. This designer will shape how content creators run their businesses and how consumers experience value across the marketplace. You’ll operate across multiple problem spaces simultaneously: content creator tools, consumer flows, and the connective tissue between them, often at different levels of fidelity and time horizon.

What You'll Work on

• Content Creator-facing business tools (Offers, pricing, access control, audience, analytics)
• Consumer-facing acquisition and conversion flows
• Marketplace mechanics that connect supply (content creators) and demand (users)
• Systems that span frontend experience and backend constraints (entitlements, states, lifecycle)

What Success Looks Like

• You help teams move faster by clarifying problems, not slowing them down
• You design solutions that consider: Business viability, System constraints, Long-term ecosystem health
• You consistently bias toward impact over polish
• You elevate how the team thinks, not just what it ships

Required Skills (This role is a strong fit if you:)

• Have designed business-running tools, not just consumer-facing features
• Comfortable working close to engineering constraints — reasoning about states, edge cases, and trade-offs early, not after implementation starts.
• Are comfortable reasoning about systems, states, and edge cases
• Are comfortable moving between web and mobile designs (we design for all surfaces)
• Is able to work across ambiguous scopes and parallel timelines
• Are collaborative by default with Product and Engineering
• Have a genuine interest in fitness, health, or content creator-led businesses
• Prefer learning from real-world signals over perfect process
• Are able to own and make decisions not only recommendations

What this role is not

• A pure visual or brand design role
• A slow, process-heavy design environment
• A role where design decisions are made in isolation
• A narrowly scoped feature factory with clearly defined inputs every time
• A position for designers who prefer pixel-perfect execution over problem definition
