About the Role

We are looking for a Lead Product Designer (UX Design & Research) with a truly entrepreneurial mindset to join our fast-moving innovation team.

This is a senior individual contributor role: you will not manage people, but you will be expected to set direction, derive strategy from goals, and take full ownership of your domain.

Unlike our core product teams, this role sits in a speedboat innovation team that researches, proposes, and develops new high-risk high-potential products from the ground up, experiments with new approaches and challenges the status quo. You will cover the full range of UX work: from research and persona development to journey mapping, prototyping, and design.Lead with Ownership: Translate high-level objectives into actionable UX strategies and independently propose and define the path forward.

Discover Needs: Drive research to uncover user and customer insights in pilot programs.
Design Experiences: Build personas, map user journeys, design flows, and create prototypes with cutting-edge tools.
Prototype & Test: Quickly build, test, and iterate prototypes with users and clients.
Entrepreneurial Spirit: You think beyond silos, take initiative, and drive the product’s success as a whole.
Stay Fresh & Tech-Savvy: Constantly scout and integrate new UX methods and especially AI-driven tools into your workflow.

Your fitness level

We are ideally looking for someone has significant experience in UX/UI and UX research, ideally with experience in both startups and larger organizations, and the ability to demonstrate high ownership and a history of delivering results; our organization is low-ego and highly analytic, and the best candidate could have any number of years of experience. Other ideal characteristics include some who:

Demonstrates strategic thinking + hands-on execution: from problem definition to tested solution.
Curious about people: interested in the user “how” and “why” and practice of evidenced based techniques to programs/applications, motivating user behavioral changes.
Startup experience:
- Thrives in ambiguous and collaborative inter-disciplinary environments, creating clarity and structure for themselves and the team.
- Brings broad UX expertise (qualitative & quantitative research, personas, journey mapping, UI design, prototyping).
- Is proactive and self-driven – not task-based, but visionary and opportunity-driven.
Has strong technical skills (Figma, Miro, Maze, Condense or similar) and a passion for AI in UX.
Mobility: Open to frequent travel (at least 1-2/month) to US pilot locations for on-site research and stakeholder sessions; and international travel (bi-annually) for collaboration and internal planning
Is fluent in English (spoken & written).
Bonus: strong interest in health and fitness
Based in Denver, Colorado
