Senior Product Designer

We are now looking for a Senior Product Designer to join us as a foundational member of the team. You’ll play a key role in shaping how FeMMA looks, feels, and functions — from early product explorations through launch and beyond.

This is a deeply collaborative and hands-on role where you’ll work closely with our CEO, engineering, and early community to bring FeMMA’s vision to life. You’ll be joining a small, focused team that believes in building intentionally — combining empathy, clarity, and craft to create experiences that truly resonate.

FeMMA is led by Caitlin Hodge (CEO), who has partnered closely with Michael Horvath (co-founder and former CEO of Strava) — our lead investor. Together, they bring deep experience launching successful, mission-driven companies that empower people through community and movement.

What You’ll Do

• Design with empathy and intent – Create experiences that feel inclusive, empowering, and intuitive for women in martial arts.
  

• Shape the product from 0 → 1 – Contribute across the design process, from concepting and prototyping to polished UI and implementation.
  

• Prototype to learn – Use low- and high-fidelity tools to explore ideas quickly, test assumptions, and validate solutions.
  

• Design for systems and flow – Help create intuitive, cohesive interactions that make sense across moments and contexts, and scale gracefully as the product evolves.
  

• Collaborate closely with engineering – Be a part of the build process, caring not just about how things look, but how they feel and function.
  

• Stay grounded in user insight – Participate in user testing and feedback loops to ensure design decisions align with real community needs.
  

• Establish design practices – As one of our first design hires, you’ll help define design principles, tools, and shared standards that support good work and healthy collaboration.
