Senior Product Designer at Swimply in Los Angeles, CA
Skills
Job Description
Swimply is an online marketplace that allows homeowners to share their passion spaces with their local communities. We started with swimming pools which took us to $50M+ in 4 years, but pools are just the beginning. We’re creating a new category within local experiences. Think Airbnb for swimming pools, hot tubs, tennis courts, and homes by the hour!
The Role
As our Senior Product Designer, you’ll sit at the intersection of design and marketing, owning end-to-end experiences that delight our guests and hosts while driving measurable growth. You’ll shape the visual language of Swimply across product surfaces, and you’ll apply product marketing instincts to tell compelling stories that convert browsers into bookers and homeowners into hosts.
Responsibilities
- Own the design lifecycle: Lead design for web and mobile features, from research and wireframes to high-fidelity UI and shipped experiences
- Design with a growth lens: Collaborate with Growth, Product, and Ops to test and iterate on flows that lift conversion, activation, and retention
- Product marketing crossover: Shape go-to-market narratives for new features, collaborating on positioning, messaging, and campaign design
- Systematize design: Expand Swimply’s design system to scale consistency across user journeys and partner touchpoints
- Cross-functional leadership: Work with Product, Ops, and Engineering to ensure design decisions tie back to growth and brand goals
- Champion the user: Advocate for host and guest needs through research, testing, and thoughtful design tradeoffs
Why This Role Matters
Swimply is scaling rapidly, and design is central to how we differentiate. As our first in-house design hire with product marketing instincts, you’ll define the look, feel, and storytelling that drives our next $100M in bookings…and beyond.
