Product Designer

Revel is building the modern community for women over age 50. We are backed by Forerunner Ventures and Y Combinator and were recently named one of the Most Innovative Companies of 2020 by Fast Company.

Our Impact

• Research suggests that loneliness is as detrimental to our long-term health as smoking a pack of cigarettes a day and increases our likelihood of mortality by 26%. The group that Revel serves—women above the age of 50—is at particular risk of feeling socially isolated due to the many transitions that can happen at this age (empty nesting, downsizing, divorce, separation, retirement). Our mission at Revel is to help each Revel member meet friends and genuine connections, in the real world, so that she remains healthy, empowered, and thriving throughout midlife.
• About one sixth of the U.S. population (50 million women) is a women of Revel age. The opportunity before us is to leverage technology to serve this population at scale.

Design at Revel

• UX for a Unique Demographic: Our goal is to create an amazing UX that feeds a virtuous cycle of user behavior; our UX solutions need to be thought through for our target demographic in particular, and may looks slightly different than what has worked for existing platforms and their users.
• A Trusted Brand: Revel is a community where she feels welcomed, fully seen and empowered. The design of our site instills that feeling of trust and acceptance.

The Role

• We’re looking for someone who is a full-time freelancer and who can dedicate 10 to 20 hours per week to Revel.
• You’ll work directly with our CEO, COO, and Director of Marketing to understand design requirements and convert those requirements into designs that are mobile-first, intuitive, and beautifully simple.
• You will create prototypes and help us gather feedback on your designs from a dedicated group of our members who have agreed to be product testers.
• You will pass off your designs to our Engineering team via Zeplin/Abstract/etc. and work directly with the team via Zoom and Slack as questions come up throughout the build cycle.
• We will also ask for your design eye on the occasional Facebook ad, flyer, or postcard.
• You can work remotely from anywhere in the United States.

Job Prerequisites

• You have at least 5 years experience working in product design for modern consumer-facing products. You are comfortable designing for accessibility and are excited to help us build out our design system.
• You’re well-versed in responsive web design and can consider mobile constraints as well as edge cases.
