Our mission is to make wellness more accessible by empowering studios and wellness entrepreneurs to grow beyond in-person classes. We provide a powerful, all-in-one platform to manage and scale hybrid wellness businesses, whether online, in-person, or both.\nWith Arketa, studios can manage schedules, accept bookings and payments, build on-demand video libraries, host retreats, run automated marketing, and launch fully branded apps and websites. We make it simple for founders to deliver a seamless, professional experience across every customer touchpoint. We've raised $15M in Series A funding and are growing quickly. It's a unique moment to join us. We're building a category-defining company in a fast-moving space, and we're looking for a leader who is excited to help shape what world-class partner support looks like in the wellness category.\nAbout the Role\nArketa is seeking a talented and motivated Product Designer who is a self-starter. This is a broad, cross-project role rather than a seat inside a single pod. You'll work across many features and surfaces, which means your influence on the product is wide by design.\nYou'll also take ownership of our design system. We have one, but it hasn't been given the attention it deserves. We're looking for someone who sees that as an opportunity rather than a chore, and who wants to turn it into something both rigorous and genuinely good-looking.\nThis role is hybrid 3x a week to our NYC office in NoHo. We go in Monday, Wednesday and Friday.\nAbout the Team\nYou'll work closely with Product and Engineering as a core design partner, not as a downstream service function. Because you're not assigned to one pod, you'll have visibility across the whole product and a real say in how our surfaces hang together.\nThis is a small, fast-moving team where designers are expected to show their work, present at team-wide check-ins, and own the outcomes. If you want a seat where your judgment shapes the product rather than just the pixels, this is that seat.\nWhat You'll Do:\nWork cross-project across many features and surfaces, rather than owning a single pod or product area\n\nTake our existing design system and make it something the team actually wants to use: cohesive, scalable, and visually strong\n\nCollaborate closely with the product and engineering teams to define and implement new features and design solutions\n\nTake ownership of the user interface design, from wireframes and prototypes to high-fidelity visuals\n\nUse AI tools such as Claude to build working prototypes, test ideas quickly, and get to the right answer faster\n\nPartner with the product team to align design with business goals and user needs\n\nPresent design concepts, updates, and cross-team launches at team-wide check-ins\n\nStay current on industry trends and best practices in design and user experience\n\nWhat success looks like:\nWe believe in setting our team up to thrive.\n30 days: you're onboarded, becoming familiar in the product, and you've audited the current design system and surfaced where it's inconsistent or breaking down.\n\n60 days: you're shipping alongside engineering across multiple surfaces, and the first foundational components of the refreshed design system are defined and in use.\n\n90 days: you have materially impacted the quality of user experiences across the Arketa app, and it’s starting to show in product and customer satisfaction metrics\n\nWhat we're looking for:\nRoughly 5+ years in product design, with a strong portfolio showcasing your design expertise and process. We're anchoring senior, but we're open in either direction for the right work\n\nDesign-first mentality: you thrive in a design-centric role and enjoy creating high-quality, user-centered interfaces\n\nOutcome driven: it’s not just about building something beautiful. Your designs consider the desired business outcomes from the start, and you love to use data, session captures, and customer interviews to shape and refine your designs.\n\nA mix of B2B and consumer experience is ideal: you can untangle a complex B2B workflow and you can make a consumer surface genuinely beautiful\n\nExperienced in design systems: you've contributed to or led a design system that supports a growing product\n\nProficiency in design tools such as Figma, Sketch, or Adobe XD\n\nHands-on with AI: you're actively using tools like Claude to build prototypes and move from idea to working concept quickly\n\nExcellent communication skills and the ability to collaborate across cross-functional teams\n\nOrganized, self-sufficient, and proactive, with the ability to manage multiple design projects simultaneously\n\nBonus:\nYou love building design systems that are visually distinctive, not just consistent\n\nMobile and native app design experience\n\nExperience at an early-stage or Series A company where design was not yet a defined function\n\nInterest in fitness, wellness, or the studio and small business space\n\nYou Should Apply If\nYou want breadth: many surfaces, many features, and real influence across the product rather than one narrow lane\n\nYou'd be excited to inherit a design system that needs love and turn it into something you're proud of\n\nYou're already prototyping with AI and want to work somewhere that expects it rather than tolerates it\n\nYou can move fast without losing craft, and you can tell the difference between the two\n\nYou're mission-driven and excited about wellness becoming more accessiblee\n\nYou May Not Want to Apply If\nYou need an established design org, a defined design process, or a senior design mentor already in place\n\nYou prefer deep focus on a single product area over working across many\n\nYou'd rather inherit a polished design system than fix one\n\nYou want a slower pace or a more established later-stage environment\n\nWhat We Offer (if in NYC):\nOwnership and Opportunity for Advancement\n\nCompetitive Salary and Stock Options\n\nUnlimited PTO: our policy is designed to give you the flexibility to rest, recharge, and take care of personal needs - while staying aligned with your team and responsibilities.\n\nMedical, dental and vision health insurance\n\nFitness Class Reimbursement: we’re committed to supporting both employee wellness and our industry relationships. As an Arketa employee we see movement as opportunity.\n\nParental Leave Policy\n\nFor this role, the estimated annual base salary is up to $165,000- $185,000, depending on experience and qualifications. In addition to base pay, we offer equity. We believe in compensating fairly and transparently, and we’re happy to provide more detail during the interview process.","description_format":"text","description_chars":6653,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity","Health insurance","Parental leave","Stock options","Unlimited PTO"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Marketing Automation","Scheduling & Booking Software"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-16T15:43:39Z"},{"event":"close","at":"2026-10-05T23:23:32Z"},{"event":"reopen","at":"2026-10-16T21:35:17Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":46,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.834,"p_room":0.55,"age_days":55,"expected_fill_days":51,"reasons":["conf:2","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-11-11T05:49:22Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":185000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/arketa-senior-product-designer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/arketa-senior-product-designer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-12T05:00:19Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":10941,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-13T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":8936},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=8936"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Farketa-senior-product-designer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":2,"usd":0.2},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Farketa-senior-product-designer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Farketa-senior-product-designer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/arketa-senior-product-designer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Farketa-senior-product-designer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":967681}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"arketa.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":967681},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
