The Design and Research team brings clarity to complexity, shaping experiences that help people collaborate, ideate, and solve problems visually. We partner deeply with engineering, product, and research to invent the next generation of collaborative work combining craft, systems thinking, and bold exploration.\nYOUR MISSION\nAs a Lead Product Designer focused on Growth, you’ll define how Mural earns user trust at the moments that matter most when someone first encounters the product's value, decides to go deeper, or chooses to stay.\nThis is end to end growth journey ownership. It's about designing the logic of how Mural grows: the moments where clarity converts, where friction is a design failure, and where the line between growth and product quality either holds or breaks. You'll work across discovery, activation, and pricing surfaces, onboarding paths, upgrade flows, lifecycle touchpoints, and in-product nudges. Most importantly, you'll orchestrate how those surfaces work together and set the standard for how growth design is practiced at Mural.\nYou'll succeed if you can bring full journey thinking, rigor and craft to a domain that often defaults to shortcuts and if you can help a cross-functional team understand what good growth design actually looks like.\nWHAT YOU'LL DO\nPlayer Responsibilities (Individual Contributor Work):\nDefine high-quality, user-centered discovery, activation, and monetization experiences across problem to success flows, upgrade flows, pricing surfaces, and lifecycle touchpoints - setting patterns that scale across the platform.\n\nWork from concept to production, delivering thoughtful UX, polished visual design, and vibe coded prototypes that help the organization understand direction, risk, and value.\n\nUse behavioral data as a primary design input: interpret funnel metrics, experiment results, and user signals to inform design decisions, not just validate them.\n\nDesign and lead experiments across acquisition, activation, and expansion funnels - from hypothesis formation through read-out, in close partnership with product and data science.\n\nEstablish reusable growth patterns in Mural's design system that balance clarity, persuasion, and long-term user trust.\n\nPartner with engineers to ensure accurate, high-quality implementation of flows and components.\n\nCoaching Responsibilities (Practice Leadership & Management):\nDirectly manage one to three designers on the growth surface: run regular 1:1s, set goals, give performance feedback, and support their career growth.\n\nBalance IC output with people leadership - this is a hands-on management role, not a full-time management track. Expect the majority of your time to remain in design work.\n\nModel how to hold craft and commercial intent simultaneously - showing peers what it looks like to design for conversion without compromising user trust.\n\nMentor designers working on growth-adjacent surfaces, developing their instincts around hierarchy, motivation, friction, and funnel thinking.\n\nContribute to how the team understands growth design as a discipline: a principled approach to earning user commitment.\n\nChampion the relationship between growth quality and product quality, helping leadership understand when they align and when they're in tension.\n\nPartner with research, data science, and product to elevate experimentation quality across the organization.\n\nHybrid Responsibilities (Both Player & Coach):\nReframe problems at the funnel level helping teams understand where value is earned or lost and why.\n\nLead workshops or working sessions that bring clarity to pricing, packaging, onboarding, and upgrade moment opportunities.\n\nCollaborate with product, research, and data science to define success metrics, shape experiment hypotheses, and interpret outcomes.\n\nAdvocate for user trust as a growth asset, not an obstacle to conversion - and model how design holds that line.\n\nDesign & Research Team Contribution:\nShare growth approaches for designing discovery, onboarding, and identity flows with peers through critique and collaboration.\n\nPartner with research, data, and product teams to elevate experimentation quality and improve how Mural understands user value signals.\n\nContribute to a culture of design excellence, especially in areas where growth and monetization intersect with core product experiences.\n\nWhat you’ll bring\n8+ years of product design experience, ideally in SaaS, productivity tools, collaboration software, or product-led growth environments.\n\n2+ years of managing other designers\n\nA track record of leading growth, monetization, or conversion-focused design work - not just contributing to it.\n\nDeep fluency in funnel thinking: you understand acquisition, activation, retention, and expansion as a connected system, not isolated moments.\n\nStrong data instincts: you can read behavioral data, interpret experiment results, and use both to sharpen design decisions.\n\nExceptional craft: visual clarity, spacing, motion, and interaction polish are second nature.\n\nSystems thinking: you understand how decisions cascade across surfaces, journeys, and user relationships over time.\n\nExperience mentoring or leading other designers, even informally - you know how to raise the quality of work around you.\n\nStrong communication skills that help cross-functional partners make smart, user-centered decisions.\n\nComfort operating in spaces where patterns don’t yet exist and playbooks need to be written.\n\nAlso great if you bring\nExperience with pricing architecture, packaging strategy, or monetization model design.\n\nDeep experience mapping and designing activation journeys - the full arc from first action to genuine value realization.\n\nHands-on experience using AI-assisted tools and vibe coding to prototype growth flows, simulate behavioral nudges, and stress-test funnel logic in motion - treating code as a design material for rapid exploration.\n\nBackground in organic acquisition or activation funnels at scale.\n\nFamiliarity with AI-assisted experiences or contextual intelligence in growth flows.\n\nExperience working with data science teams on experimentation frameworks or causal inference.\n\nHistory of shaping 0→1 growth systems or redesigning broken acquisition or retention loops.\n\nWhy you’ll love Mural\nYou’ll help shape how millions of people discover value in Mural, understand what the product can do for them, and make confident choices about their journey. You’ll design experiences that balance business goals with user trust, clarity, and delight. You’ll collaborate with thoughtful partners who care about evidence, craft, and outcomes.\nAt Mural, we “drink our own champagne” and use our product daily to collaborate, ideate, and prototype together. This role is Canada Remote. Your design work will shape how millions of people around the world collaborate.\nCompensation offered will be determined by factors such as location, level, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.\nEqual Opportunity\nWe will ensure that individuals with disabilities are provided reasonable accommodation to participate in the job application or interview process, to perform essential job functions, and to receive other benefits and privileges of employment.
