Salary: USD 129,000 - 194,000 / annual
Scribd is hiring a Senior Product Designer to drive growth across Everand and Fable, two premium reading platforms reaching 1.4+ million readers monthly. You'll own the complete reader-to-subscriber journey—onboarding, pricing, referrals, and lifecycle—designing experiences that turn curious readers into engaged community members and casual subscribers into long-term loyalists.
In this role, you'll have real design leadership. You'll report to the Director of Product Design, work alongside 6 other premium designers, and have the opportunity to lead vision and strategy across growth and lifecycle. Design has a genuine voice here; you'll be expected to take ownership, advocate for your point of view, and partner closely with Product, Research, Engineering, Data, and Marketing to identify opportunities, run experiments, and ship work that moves measurable business outcomes.
Key responsibilities include:
- Owning critical conversion moments: onboarding, plans and pricing, referrals, and lifecycle engagement
- Finding natural ways to connect Fable's community features with Everand's library
- Bringing your own test ideas and partnering with PMs to scope experiments and define success metrics
- Taking work from rough concept to production-ready while maintaining visual and interaction craft
- Bringing a strong visual voice to two distinct brands and defining new design patterns when systems fall short
- Prototyping early (in code when appropriate), using AI to explore more ideas, and validating through usability testing
- Analyzing results from every release, identifying journey gaps, and recommending next experiments
- Grounding decisions in research, competitive insight, and actual customer behavior
- Sharing work early and helping peers sharpen theirs
Scribd operates on a "Scribd Flex" model balancing individual flexibility with intentional in-person collaboration. Occasional in-person attendance is required for all employees.
REQUIREMENTS:
- 5+ years of product design experience with substantial time on growth, monetization, or subscription products
- Strong visual craft and solid interaction design; ability to move quickly to great work
- Shipped experiments that moved conversion, activation, retention, and/or revenue; understanding of why they worked
- Think in journeys, not screens; can help define the path forward when unclear
- Daily use of AI for exploration, prototyping, and understanding; hold AI output to your own standard
- Genuine love of reading with opinions on how and why people discover, share, and stick with books
- Can make the case for design decisions using both data and taste
- Bonus: motion design, consumer subscription apps, mobile, or community/social products
Application requirements: Resume, portfolio with 3+ case studies showing growth impact and strong visual craft with clear reasoning, including at least one test that didn't win and lessons learned.
