👤    Who you are

• You have several years of experience shipping beautifully designed products to real users, demonstrating a deep understanding of functional and aesthetic design. • You are a systems thinker who has worked on open-ended tools, ensuring scalable designs rather than just A–B flows. • You balance scrappiness with an eye for detail, iterating quickly in explorative phases and refining interactions, typography, and motion when necessary. • Prototyping is second nature to you; you believe in testing designs dynamically to determine viability and user-friendliness. • You are comfortable working across multiple platforms, including Mac, iOS, and web, ensuring a seamless user experience across all touchpoints. • You are engaged with AI advancements and capable of integrating the latest tools into both your workflow and Granola’s product offering. • Above all, you see yourself as a builder who thrives in a startup environment and enjoys collaborating in person with a motivated team.

📑    What the job involves

• Design the future of Granola alongside the founders, defining early feature ideas and working closely with engineers to bring them to life. • Enhance the fit and finish of the product, ensuring a beautifully crafted experience for users who spend hours daily using Granola. • Engage directly with users to investigate use cases, test new features, and refine design direction based on feedback. • Balance exploration and iteration in prototyping, experimenting with bold new ideas while refining interactions, typography, and motion. • Develop and evolve Granola’s brand identity and design language across product interfaces and marketing materials. • Ensure consistency across platforms, optimizing design patterns for Mac, iOS, and web versions of Granola.

⚡    Company Benefits

• Competitive salary above market rates, reflective of skills and experience. • Generous equity compensation, offering strong long-term incentives. • Opportunity to work with a talented and passionate founding team who deeply understand design and product development. • A collaborative, in-person work environment in our bright and spacious office at Old Street, London. • Relocation assistance for individuals willing to move to London for the role. • A chance to pioneer the future of AI-powered work tools, shaping design philosophies in an innovative technology space.
