The Role
We’re looking for a talented Product Designer with a strong foundation in both UI and UX — and a solid eye for brand — to join the Pawco team.

Contribute to both high-level design strategy and hands-on execution.
Design experiences that drive engagement, retention, and conversion.
Work closely with cross-functional teams including product managers, engineers, and marketing to ensure design solutions meet business and user goals.
You will report directly to the Head of Product (or whoever it is) and collaborate closely with our small but growing design team

Experience in e-commerce or subscription-based products.
Understanding of user-centered design principles and conversion optimization.
A strong portfolio showing product design work and brand/visual design projects.
