Lead Product Designer

Lumi is a K-12 writing and literacy platform. The Lead Product Designer will own end-to-end design across student, teacher, and district experiences, setting the design system, process, and quality standard while working closely with founders and engineering.

Responsibilities:

• Own design end to end: research, product thinking, interaction, visual, and the system that ties them together
• Design the student writing experience so that revising a draft feels like something a ten-year-old wants to do again
• Design the teacher experience as a real workflow tool: creating a project, reading 28 drafts, deciding who needs a small group, all before the bell
• Design the district view so an administrator can see writing growth across schools without a training session
• Sit in classrooms and on district calls, then turn what you hear into prototypes within days, not quarters
• Work directly with the founders and engineering on what we build next, not just how it looks

Requirements:

• A portfolio that shows high-quality consumer product work and complex multi-role workflows, ideally both, with clear evidence of what you personally owned
• 7+ years of product design experience, including at least one product you took from early to mature
• Experience with one of two profiles, and curiosity about the other: workflow SaaS design for professional users (think Airtable, Canva, Notion), or consumer-grade design that earns daily habit (think Duolingo)
• Strong systems thinking: you build and maintain design systems rather than fight them
• Comfort making decisions with incomplete information and revising them in public
• Edtech experience
