Senior Product Designer, MapMy

ARE YOU READY TO TAKE YOUR CAREER TO NEW HEIGHTS? ARE YOU SEEKING A NEW CHALLENGE IN A DYNAMIC SECTOR? 

This is a very exciting and highly innovative time here at Outside.

OUR TRUE NORTH:Outside Interactive, Inc., the premier hub for active lifestyle enthusiasts, offers best-in-class content and experiences to more than 70 million of the world’s most passionate outdoor, wellness, and endurance enthusiasts every month. We inspire a broad and diverse audience to do the activities they love with greater enjoyment, inspiration, and knowledge and are dedicated to making real change in the outdoor and fitness industries.

This role sits within Outside's Consumer Apps organization, which owns the strategy, growth, and product experience across Outside's consumer-facing applications, including fitness, mapping, consumer travel, and commerce-adjacent experiences.

The MapMy platform, including MapMyRun, MapMyWalk, MapMyRide, and MapMyFitness, serves millions of active users and is a core pillar of Consumer Apps. MapMy products help members track workouts, discover routes, set goals, and stay motivated across a range of fitness activities.

We are hiring a Senior Product Designer, MapMy to set the design vision across the MapMy product portfolio and to define what modern, AI-accelerated design practice looks like within our organization.

This is a role for a seasoned designer who sees AI not as a novelty but as a force multiplier they have already built into their daily craft. You conduct user research, ship polished UI in Figma, and stand up functional prototypes with AI-assisted code generation to test ideas before a sprint begins. You move fast, explore broadly, and use every tool at your disposal to close the gap between insight and experience.

You will own MapMy design end-to-end. You will set the strategic design direction for the portfolio, drive the craft bar higher, and mentor designers across Consumer Apps. You bring conviction, taste, and a track record of shipping consumer experiences at scale.

You will operate with autonomy in ambiguous problem spaces, partner directly with Product and Engineering leadership, and help shape a lean, AI-empowered design practice that others want to learn from.

What You'll Do:

• Lead end-to-end design across MapMy's mobile (iOS/Android) and web experiences, owning the highest-leverage surfaces from problem framing through delivery.
• Define and evolve an AI-accelerated design practice, using tools like Claude, Cursor, and v0 as a core part of daily workflow for ideation, prototyping, and iteration.
• Build functional, interactive prototypes quickly to validate concepts with real users and stakeholders.
• Own the MapMy design system and component library, raising consistency and quality across the product suite.
• Drive the research agenda in partnership with Product - leading interviews, usability tests, and competitive analysis to ground decisions in real user needs.
• Partner with Product, Engineering, and Data leadership to align design strategy with business goals.
• Mentor mid-level and junior designers, lead design reviews, and raise the craft bar across the team.
• Define design success metrics and lead post-launch analysis using A/B results, funnel data, and qualitative feedback.
• Deliver polished design specs, redlines, and asset handoffs - supplemented with interactive prototypes when they tell the story better.
• Set the visual, interaction, and motion standards for MapMy, ensuring all work meets WCAG accessibility guidelines.

What We're Looking For:

Required Experience

• 7+ years shipping consumer-facing mobile or web products, with a portfolio demonstrating end-to-end design leadership from problem framing through shipped outcomes.
• Expert Figma proficiency and fluent, daily use of AI tools in your design workflow.
• Deep understanding of iOS, Android, and responsive web design principles.
• Track record of collaborating with senior Product, Engineering, and Data leaders in an agile environment, with experience mentoring designers.
• Strong communicator who can articulate design rationale and tradeoffs to executive and cross-functional audiences.

Craft & Technical Fluency

• Mastery of typography, color, layout, and interaction design, with experience building or scaling design systems.
• Ability to build functional prototypes using AI code-generation tools - you can get a working demo in front of users on your own.

Mindset & Approach

• Sets direction in ambiguity, defaults to showing over telling, and brings conviction and taste to what gets built.
• Curious, experimental, and energized by new tools - low ego, high standards.

Nice to Have

• Background in fitness, health, or GPS/mapping; familiarity with motion design tools; working knowledge of HTML/CSS/JS; experience with advanced research methods and data-informed design practices.
